Hunting Washington Forum

Well it was debatable whether I’d be able to save it and if it was repairable what the price point was that made it worth it. I ended up dropping it off last night at Madsen’s saw shop in Centralia last night based on a recommendation from a family member. By 8 am this morning I received a call quoting $350 total to repair and by 10am the job was completed. They replaced the piston assembly, cylinder gasket, needle cage, fuel filter, spark plug,air filter and fuel hose. They were able to hone the cylinder (probably lucky it was idling at low rpm when it died)

I’m pretty happy to be able to save it for $350, I see used ones for sale in the $700-800 range and a comparable new saw is way more than that. I will be replacing my fuel jug with a much more distinctive/identifiable one so I don’t ever make that bonehead move again

I think it will last long time.
I have a lot of faith in that saw,it's a keeper.👍🤙

John,

I just dropped funds in the mail for 10 tickets. Hopefully you will have it Monday.

I normally wouldnt put this out to the public, would rather keep it private. But I am going to throw a little challenge out here.

If by Gods good grace I have a winning ticket and you have a vet or 2 that could use some assistance this Christmas season please divvy the winnings up how you see fit with them. If our vets are doing ok that way, please use the winnings where its most needed to help out with what your post does!

Any Huntwa members want to answer the challenge how you see fit?
Please?
Merry Christmas all!

That's awesome, Hnt. Thanks so much. We have a few who would benefit.

The problem is all the poaching goes on after dark, especially in big timber company‘s property that is gated the night shift comes in after everybody leaves during the day they hunt all night long with spotlights. There’s no law-enforcement until the daytime when they’re really only concerned about trespass violations.

Sorry but saying wardens don't work nights on timberland is just factually false.

In fact, many of these areas preclude night time use, which would be punishable as a trespass charge.

Congrats Turner89.  BTW, did Dan wilson get his moose?  Do you know if that Dan has a 2 wheel drive motorcycle perhaps?  Small world if it is him.

Thanks!
Yes, Dan did get a nice bull.   I don't know if he has a 2 wheel drive bike.   I just met Dan out in the woods while Moose hunting.

That cow's head looks huge to me.  I think a euro mount of the skull would look cool.
