Anybody know if the valley around duvall is huntable without a boat?
-
yep
-
sweet. thanks. didnt want to drive there and have to turn around.
-
Probably depends on where you go, 124th was closed this morning when I went by at 5:30 everything else was too dark for me to see but I could see lights reflecting in the water coming across Woodinville Duvall road. Flooding in Cherry Valley has been backing up since Friday.
-
The Snoqualmie is at an all time high of 46k c.f.s.
If it is huntable now, it won't be for long. The problem with hunting the valley in this type of situation is that there's so much water the birds can land anywhere.

That's a very nice update! Could save a few people some gas money. Be careful anyone out and about, the rivers are running hard!
-
ya. i went out yesterday to crescent lake and saw a few flyers but like ya said too many options for the birds to think my lame decoy layout was the spot... sooo much water!
-
water everywhere has the ducks spread out from what i saw this morning
-
Is it trespassing if your just floating above someones property?
Im game if you are jack :P

-

-
Technically your still in the river.......the river is just alittle larger....might give us somthing to do when it gets all old testament out there :)

nahhh....
W-D is open. Traffic sucks huge but gotta go to work, right?
Took me an hour and a half to get home last night, Bellevue to Duvall.
:puke:
There's a ton of water but it's been a lot worse in the past. I'm not sure why since the rivers were at record levels yesterday.
-
ummm the old pheasant release program feilds are open for jump shooting or if you get there early enough you can setup in the corn feilds.
-
I hunted around Duvall Sunday, and saw more birds then I have all season.. was as good day.. water was rising and coming pretty quick but I just set up in a feild that was in about 1 foot of water.. put out decoys and had a blast.
-
The water wasn't in the valley yet on Sunday. Shoulda seen it Monday afternoon or Tuesday. :yike:

ummmmm....You will need a boat to jump shoot anything in the Snoqualmie Valley right now unless you want to jump shoot highway 203 and the corn fields everywhere are currently lakes.
-
I know there was someone who lost a lot of decoys this flood.... GHG Canada shells, Bigfoots, GHG mallards. Sucks for who ever it was. I guess if your going to leave your decs out, you should at least pick them up during a flood. Because it was an early Christmas for any duck hunter driving on 203. Free pickings on the road side for at least 2 miles!
-
On sunday the water was coming up and pretty quick.. I started with about 1 foot and after a couple hours had to get some more length on the decoys.. couple started to float off.. got them all picked up.. no losing those for me..

Maybe whoever it was learned to not leave their dekes out. Isn't that illegal anyway? If so I'm glad they lost them.
That'll learn them.

It is legal to leave them out on private land just not public.
-
hahah so i'm not the only one who saw those dekes on the side of 203.. i was might tempted the last few days to stop and grab some but just felt bad. for the last few days I've seen about 7 or 8 dekes still floating roadside mostly drake mallards that look pretty nice from a distance.
-
Ya those are mine I am set up on the road.. ya know road hunting.. lol.. kinda like most people do for deer...sooooo kidding guys..

Between Fall City and Carnation? Line of trees on the tight turn with a blue locked gate? Those may have just been stored in the field next to the blind on private property, not left out for hunting if they are who I think they are-------

no on the straightaway between mon roe and duvall at the cherry valley peasant release site.. only saw one today so somebody scooped about 7 or 8
