117 is still open, and with all this snow id bet not a lot of guys are going to be hitting the woods. Doubt the harvest guidelines will be met any time soon. Get on it!

Just went out Monday... Everything above the Yakima nation is still open (Goldendale, of all places, is the only area closed... makes you wonder....) Turns out, you need a snow machine to run the roads in this area! (So I'll get one!) On the peninsula I just ran chains on all 4 with my 4runner... makes a very comfortable side by side! Went in south of Rimrock and got to see some country, but no tracks.

I think WDFW is hearing us about the quotas, but that's not time to quiet down about it, Washington guys!


And....

Just a few more weeks until 2020 season starts and most of the state is still open somehow. Crazy. Ill be getting after it in ferry county april 1st.

So many guys have asked me about callers and what would be a good unit for a budget, so I thought I'd just mention that today (March 20, 2020 3:15pm) I got an email from gander outdoors saying they had a sale on the FP Banshee for something like $207. That's pretty good...

Posted a new story!

Really good Non-Calling story from a deer stand!

Just Posted A28... Big Beautiful Cat!

Ive been out calling a bit but no luck. Hoping my luck changes once the snow flies and a cat can be easier to spot. Havent called in a thing (thst i know of) since i got done bear hunting. Not even a coyote. Ill be calling lions in both washington and idaho this year.

If you need a partner and are up in NE Washington, let me know!

I hear that a lot but when it comes down to it nobody wants to actually get their [beeep] up early and be up in the snowy woods by daybreak for an extremely low odds hunt.

Certainly not something I can do every day, but once in a while I am good for it My buddy used to want to be out on the water salmon fishing before the sun was up. When we ran hounds it was a requirement too.

When i get after it in december ill let ya know, ill mainly be hunting 121 and 101.

I had some buddies that ran hounds... They didn't worry about getting up early, they just never slept! (Those guys were a rare breed!)

Lot of time here out at sea to think about hunting (ill be at it in just a few more days) and really im more excited to hunt cats than anything else. Im going to put in a few days of elk, then head to idaho for deer, cougar and wolf. I may just drop any halfway decent buck for the freezer so i can spend more time on my lion tags, and skip washington deer altogether this year. Just really looking forward to some serious lion calling in the snow more than anything else.
