Went Goose hunting finally on Sunday. Had a great time 4 out of 5 got geese, I managed to get a dusky. Haven't had that much fun since the modern deer opener. Now if I could only find a place a little closer to home where I can hunt geese. Oh well... back to standing in the puddles shootin' ducks. Hope everyone is doin' well. Welcome back Robb.

Welcome back, sorry no deer but if it was easy they wouldn't call it hunting. I've been hunting elk in the Winston unit thats near mossyrock, "Lots of elk" Last friday we found a small herd of 20 with a couple of spikes but they doubled back on us and we missed them. On sunday my son got within a 100yds of 4 cows but couldn't get any closer. Unfortunately on dec 2nd the rules changed to 3pt or better no cows. I think we'll probably keep hunting there though, it's a good area with lots of access and NO gates. Any luck for you!

I haven't been out yet. I'm going down to hunt the Fall River unit (N. or Pe Ell) in the morning. The wife wants to go shopping tomorrow evening, so I may only get to hunt the morning. If I find elk, though, she's gonna have to postpone the shopping. Priorities! Hopefully I'll get to hunt most of next weekend too. Kinda tough to drive 2 hours, hunt 3 hours, and then drive back 2 hours. Not much time to find elk in there. I'll just have to cover as much ground as possible.

Good luck in the Winston. I hunted it in the early season last year, but the crowds were just too much. It sucks that they change the restrictions during the middle of the season, but at least you've found some elk to chase. That's a big advantage on the jungle side. There's lots of places for them to hide.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

Slee,
Good luck in PeEll always found lots of sign out that way just never the elk. You can drop the wife off in Centralia & let her shop while you hunt....
Well I make it back home Tuesday & I'm looking forward to getting out Sunday & Monday any suggestion for W WA for pheasant or grouse with in am hour of Ft Lewis would be great if anyone can help me out... goto get the dogs out plus I really want to go too

There is NO such thing as a bad day HUNTING
Good Luck & Good Hunting
Dan

I broke down and told her that I wouldn't be back in the morning unless it was way too crowded, or I filled my tag with something(elk or deer). She didn't fuss too bad. I'm having to give up next Saturday evening for a Christmas party anyway, so she'll have to get over it. I keep thinking she's learning, but then she goes and forgets how things are supposed to work after a few days. I'll keep teaching though.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

Hey everyone,

I am a long time WA resident, unfortunately living in VA for now. I am looking to move my elk hunts from souixon GMU to the Olympic Penninsula, around the Forks, WA area, I heard the Dickey unit has re-opened. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, I will trade some of my hot spots(very specific) for good places to start scouting. Just looking for a little change of scenery.

RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
 

My wife forwarded this to me from her father. It explains alot about us Mississippians; and I thought it was pretty funny, so I posted it on here for your enjoyment. For those of you who need further explanation afterwards(and I'm sure there will be some), you can shoot me an e-mail or post questions here.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>


&quot;What a True Mississippian Knows&quot;

Only a true Mississippian knows the difference
between a hissie fit and a conniption, and that you
don't &quot;HAVE&quot; them but &quot;PITCH&quot; them.

Only a true Mississippian knows how many fish,
collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc. make
up &quot;a mess&quot;.

Only a true Mississippian can show or point out to you
the general direction of &quot;yonder&quot;.

Only a true Mississippian knows exactly how long
&quot;directly&quot; is - as in: &quot;Going to town, be back
directly.&quot;

Even Mississippian babies know that &quot;Gimme some sugar&quot;
is not a request for the white, granular sweet
substance that sits in a pretty little bowl on the
middle of the table.

All true Mississippians know exactly when &quot;by and by&quot;
is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept
well.

Only a true Mississippian knows instinctively that
the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got
trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl
of cold potato salad. (If the neighbor's trouble is a
real crisis, they also know to add a large banana
puddin'!)

Only true Mississippians grow up knowing the
difference between &quot;right near&quot; and &quot;a right fur
piece.&quot; They also know that &quot;just down the road&quot; can
be 1 mile or 20.

Only a true Mississippian both knows and understands
the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and
po' white trash.

No true Mississippian would ever assume that the car
with the flashing turn signal is actually going to
make a turn.

A true Mississippian knows that &quot;fixin'&quot; can be used
as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.

Only a true Mississippian knows that the term
&quot;booger&quot; can be a resident of the nose, a descriptive, as in
&quot;that ol' booger&quot;, or something that jumps out at you
in the dark and scares you senseless.

Only true Mississippians make friends while standing in
lines. We don't do &quot;queues&quot;, we do &quot;lines&quot;; and when
we're &quot;in line&quot;, we talk to everybody!

Put 100 true Mississippians in a room and half of them
will discover they're related, even if only by
marriage.

True Mississippians never refer to one person as
&quot;y'all.&quot;

True Mississippians know grits come from corn and how
to eat them.

Every true Mississippian knows tomatoes with eggs,
bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that
redeye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried
green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.

When you hear someone say, &quot;Well, I caught myself
lookin'..,&quot; you know you are in the presence of a
genuine Mississippian!

Only true Mississippians say &quot;sweet tea&quot; and &quot;sweet
milk.&quot; Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and
lots of it - we do not like our tea unsweetened.
&quot;Sweet milk&quot; means you don't want buttermilk.

And a true Mississippian knows you don't scream
obscenities at little old ladies who drive
30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, &quot;Bless her heart&quot;
and go your own way.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!

Morning all, good luck on your hunt Slee, liked your last post!!! welcome to the board moemeadors, Hope you like it here. Hope everybody had a great weekend, we've had a bit of a cold snap here, I like it, just wish there was some snow out on the ground, as of yet none, but they are calling for it later in the week. Been seeing a lot of pheasants, saw an all black rooster the other day, he had a red ring around the neck thought it was pretty cool, so I've got my sights set on it. Other than that, not much going on took the kids to see Santa Claus 2 yesterday, very good movie!!!
