January 2019 Seattle-Area Meet

I’ll fuck with 160.... even though I’ve been 145.465

 

@PacNW_Taco Thanks again for coordinating and leading. Takes a lot of work and hassle.

 

All good brotha! It was a lot of fun. Just disappointed we didn't get a chance to break out the pew pews. BUT, we can arrange another day for that. I need me a second amendment Sat/Sun.

 

Found out if you’re Native American you can hunt year round

 

was talking to Bob and Yakima tribe can hunt Jan 1st - Aug 1st but they need a special permit for a doe.

Had a fun day and it was good recovery practice!

 

I stocked up on 11 of them because of the FCC ban on some frequency ranges. And technically aren't we supposed to have a HAM license to use these?

looks like a railroad frequency. I need to stop procrastinating and get my license.

 

It is. Unused in this area.

 

we got a hold of them at work (back in PA in 2013) when we found out we could use them on the cities unused radio frequency. they stopped using the channel in the 70's and just kept paying for the license without realizing it was not utilized. so now everyone at work had them to "use in town wide emergencies" like what to do about lunch and who was gonna be late to work by a few minutes or traffic issues

 

looked at forecast for this Saturday and it looks kinda bleh. meet up at brewery?

 

I'll put this into my radio.

 

Throwin' out a feeler: Any interest out there for getting a shooting day on the books? Head out somewhere with a decent backstop and throw some lead down range? Haven't had a solid Second Amendment Saturday/Sunday in a while.

 

I was going to suggest that but don’t know of any good places other than Stampede. But that is probably not accessible right now

 

I'm in the same boat. The spot I know of up by Blanca Lake is difficult just to get to, nor have I made the final push to it so it very well could be impassable. I'm certain there are some spots out in the Elk Heights area, but 1) It's a drive just to get there 2) I'd need to do another recon run to actually find one so that we're not searching / performing recoveries for the day (but the other weekend was still a good time).

 

I visit my girlfriend in Ellensburg every two weeks so something in that direction would be convenient for me. But maybe not for others?

 

There's a spot out in Ellensburg where we could shoot up to 1200m. Not sure if it's still open and the last time I was there, it was pretty windy.

 

Mostly sunny with a high of 39 for Elk Heights this weekend. Pew pew recon run? Meh?

 

yeah, probably

 

Righteous. Both days look clear so I’m down for either.

 

@PacNW_Taco @JDAM am I allowed to go? Figuring that I got stuck 3x the last trip?
