Visited the refuge today and was greeted with a heck of a stench.

It wasn't that high until after the tsunami. I drove into that 3 way intersection after the first crest and could walk 100 yards down the trail. Gonna be a long time before it goes down

Looks like a mess and a long time and bunch of work to get back to where it was pre flood

I'm starting to think this year may be better to concentrate on hogs and get a pass into next year.

I was thinking the same thing. Only problem is, the best way to get a hog will be on foot and that might mean I tick off a few other people.

You guys are funny. I wouldn't mess around up there. Play with fire and they can pull your hunting pass.

No Bueno.

True, the federal guys don't mess around, you can get banned indefinitley from the hunts like the infamous blue igloo man.

Is there something in the rules that say you have to hunt in a stand?

Can't still hunt?


I am thinking most of the pigs left or were drowned, same as the deer. Hopefully they come back by the time the hunts start

Another month. That is sooner than I figured for a full reopen.

Yeah, I know the roads will be a mess.
