I think I could hear the artillery shelling coming from the training center last night while I was in the Hanford reach. Long strings of booms like thunder.

you did. My windows were rattling.  That'll push those elk out of the impact zone right quick :chuckle:

My daughter has a cow tag.  We went and got all our paperwork squared away.  Drivers license, registration, proof of insurance.  I hand the guy my stuff and my 17 year old does the same.  I'm not really paying too much attention.  He hands me back my stuff and then hers.....

I asked her why she gave the guy her Blue Cross insurance card...

Only took me 7 days to finally get that figured out what they wanted. Seemed to change a little every time.

The front office said they're gonna lock most of it back down because they got 3 new busloads of troops. They'll be training until December apparently.

I don’t believe anything that is supposed to happen. They told me it was gonna be locked down for 6 weeks and 9 days later it was back open. Can’t see how 3 bus loads of troops would affect much. That’s a lot less than 9,000. But who knows. Good luck to everyone with a tag still.

I have a tag and I'm still gonna hit it hard. She told me to expect all but 3 units to be closed. Only time will really tell. Hopefully its wide open.

How did the cow hunters do?  Heard of a few that got killed. Any good bulls get killed during the rifle hunt??

Me and my hunting partner both got cows about halfway through the B season. Only saw one branch bull but quite a few raghorns. I think for the whole 5 or 6 days we hunted we only saw a couple people get out of their vehicle and they didn't walk very far before turning back. We saw fresh sign and the occasional elk in most units but had to burn lots of boot leather to hunt anything productively.
