Not sure if weather will help me.  Sounded like a war zone north of me yesterday and sitting on the south line today.  I'll congratulate them if they have any luck.

I'm not sure high fuel costs have affected the pressure.

Didn't seem to affect the road hunters that drove through the spot I was sitting behind a closed gate last night

I am just hoping for a little precipitation in the form of rain or snow this weekend so I can have a fire in my fireplace to keep my uninsulated cabin warm.  :chuckle:

I will be in mine for two nights so 1/2 cord should be enough...  :yike: kidding

We haven't seen any bucks chasing does yet. Usually they are at least sniffing and trying a little in the mornings. Hopefully the weather change will begin to change the old bucks patterns a bit this weekend. We've been watching the bucks go to bed in the morning, and get up right before dark. They don't move all day.  The bucks, at least the ones we are watching are still pretty nocturnal.

Had a buck walk thru the job site this morning with a swollen neck cruising for does.

Looking like some snow might even get down to 2500 feet in the eastern cascades. Hoping to find some resident bucks that start moving with this weather change. I havent seen as much as usual with the heavy smoke.

Looks like you are getting some weather. The Kettle Crest is getting hammered.

I see the Methow is getting some.   That’ll change things for those left in the game.

Coming out of Dayton today saw a truck and trailer with at least 6 inches of snow on it, looks like the blues got snow.

I was just adding an electric saw to my wish list of things to buy someday.  I'm not going to go to work for Janicki, but for cutting a couple trees across a road it would be nice to have a saw behind the seat that didn't leak oil and gas all over my truck and take 74 pulls to start and finally get warm just in time to shut it off and melt some hunting gear that falls against the muffler while I'm bouncing down the road.

Every Dewalt E. saw I've been around leaks oil like any gas powered saw. I still use mine a ton, and it's easy on/off is great for clearing trail, or limbs around the house.
