State land is closed.  City and county not yet.   USFS not yet but I hear closing their campground and recreation areas.

I don't think it's looking good for turkey or spring bear

I don't see anyone opening anything until we have at least established a peak and are well down the back side.  Since we are increasing testing, that might not actually happen until we are even further down the back side of the curve. 

NY is projecting 21 days I think, so I would wager half my Charmin that nothing opens for 3 more weeks minimum.

It's supposed to be closed closed. They have all our DNR posted up like crazy. There was 50 cars stacked into the parking area to the yakima greenway in Gleed but I can't go off trail into the sage country and call a coyote. Makes perfect sense if you don't think about it  :chuckle:


Not alot of it makes sense where you are Karl, or where I am, however I cant abide by the thoughts of draggin kids and others half way/all the way across the state at a time like this so they can try and kill a turkey.  Common sense out the window.
I think common sense went out the window with Inslee’s definitions of what’s essential.

Something to think about, understand Washington does have more cases, but Oregon and Idaho hunting is still on as planned.

I’m wondering why parks are still open?


KENNEWICK, WA
Caution tape is set up around some Tri-Cities playgrounds as the cities work to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Pasco has closed all playgrounds and Kennewick and Richland have posted signs asking people to follow social distancing guidelines.

“The parks themselves are open,” said Jon Funfar, Pasco’s communication program manager. “We’re asking people to not congregate in groups of more than 10 people.”

I think there is general agreement that the actual hunting isn’t the problem. It’s the buying gas, pop, food, and everything else that sometimes goes with it. Walking out your back door for a bird would be like walking down the street to a lake to fish. No problem. Running around to get lures and bait and flies probably isn’t best practice right now

True. Hadn’t considered private fishing. I expect predators will also be shut down if the others also get shut?

Here you go. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/okawen/alerts-notices/?cid=fseprd717017&width=full

To be in alignment with State and federal guidelines relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, effective March 27, 2020, all Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest developed recreation sites are closed until April 8 or until such measures are lifted.

Developed recreation sites now closed include campgrounds, snow parks, restroom facilities, day-use areas, recreation rental facilities including cabins and fire lookouts, and trailheads. In addition, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offices are currently conducting public business by phone, email, or through web-based transactions; critical in-person business is being handled by appointment only to minimize person-to-person contact. Lucerne and Fields landing remain open for ferry service.

Thanks Russ.
