Same…I had a great one and now it's been filled in because too many people were using it and shooting dangerously and leaving trash. We'd try and keep it clean, but eventually it got shut down.The problem with giving up secret spots is once you do they are no longer secret spots. I used to have one but it's not secret anymore.
I agree with all of that except to use your radio to let the truck know your there. A truck that thinks it has the road it's self is not the truck you want to meet.Your best bet is stay off active logging roads during the week. Most crews will chase you out for good reasons and most roads off of their mainlines are usually posted "No Access" "No Trespassing" That applies even when their gates are open. Don't attempt to walk in either. If you hear the horn/whistle on the yarder on a nearby landing you are too close to be shooting. You never know where those guys are going to pop up. If you do go scout out those open main line roads during the week have a good CB radio in your rig. Usually on the pavement the loggin trucks are on 17. Once off road pay attention to mile markers and CB channels posted on the trees. Listen to the CB only! Do not talk to them. They are busy listening for other empty and loaded trucks. If they are calling out let's say "Comin out loaded at mile marker 18" and you are at mile marker 17, find a wide spot right now or back up to the last one and wait till the rig clears. Best rule of thumb in logging country, the commercial vehicles have the right of way. Do not make them stop or pull over for you! If you meet one on a blind corner, plan on backing up unto you can get into a wide spot, fork, or skid trail. Another trick, keep your window cracked and don't make a whole ton of noise so you can listen for jake (exhaust) brakes. Sometimes radios signals are weak and blocked or a driver misses calling out a mile marker. If you hear jakes closing in yet you don't see a truck find wide spot. Also this time of year weather and road conditions are pretty crappy. It's a good idea to pack a chainsaw as well as tow straps, shovels, extra fuel, and chains for your tires. Even though it's already been mentioned, join a gun club. 2 things I despise out in the woods and that's log road shooters and road hunters! Good luck out there!
right on. be careful.I agree with all of that except to use your radio to let the truck know your there. A truck that thinks it has the road it's self is not the truck you want to meet.
Can you elaborate on who the pukes are?I refuse to allow PUKES to run me out of the woods I grew up shooting in!
Not entirely true. Not all trucks are paid by percentage. There is a contingent of hourly drivers out there.the truckers. wow! these guys make nascar look like amateurs. they get paid by the log
Good info. Cunningham's Law in action.Not entirely true. Not all trucks are paid by percentage. There is a contingent of hourly drivers out there.
