Deer hunters to face logging in Asotin Creek area

ASOTIN – Outdoorsmen who hunt in Asotin Creek Wildlife Area’s Weather Unit may want to make alternative plans for the general firearm deer hunting season-opener this coming weekend.

It’s because the unit has a logging operation going on, officials said, noting logging is ongoing during daylight hours Monday through Friday for the rest of the month.

Agency Assistant Wildlife Area Manager David Woodall said the area remains open to hunting, but suggested that logging may hinder successful hunting trips.
