Title: Last two days
Post by: gotshot on December 07, 2011, 05:13:44 AM: Well with 2 days left of late muzzleloader in 503 and 505 I think I will mosey around and see what I can see. I have hunted deer hard all year and didn't do any good so I am gonna take the walk in the woods approach and see if I can get lucky.

501, 504, 564, and 550.

The first three are open for "any deer" and 550 (Coweeman) is open for "any buck".

Not again, Please read the regs BEFORE you hunt.

This was posted in "General Discussion" and the only species mentioned was deer, so it's understandable why people would assume he was talking about hunting deer. If it had been posted in "Elk Hunting" that might have provided us with more of a clue. No big deal. I don't think he got his feelings hurt too bad. :'(

So you didn't see any animals at all?

I think they high tailed it into the Packwood unit. Which brings me to this. I did a quick look through the regs. and couldn't find anything open in Packwood 516 including permits but I sure saw a lot of guys glassing south of the 300 rd. and heading down roads with guns in hand.

Yeah, Packwood is not open, but I'm sure a lot of people either don't know where the boundaries are, or just don't care.
