We went hunting in Pullman this weekend which was the last week of deer hunting and the opening for pheasants. We hunted a lot of feel free to hunt areas and were met with the same problem at every place we went. Groups of 2-4 four wheelers cruising through all the good CRP with rifles around their shoulders trying to flush deer. Unless you own the property, or are very old or disabled this is the most half ass method of deer hunting I have ever seen. A lot of these people seemed plenty able bodied to get off their ass and actually hunt for deer. A lot of areas that were once "feel free to hunt" are now posted no hunting. I believe four wheelers are to blame for this closing of "feel free to hunts" if you are not disabled get off your ass and hunt deer the old fashion way, if you are too lazy, stay home, if you are out of shape spend a month or two to get into shape. Stay off the four wheelers and enjoy the chase.
