I won the Western Deer Raffle!!! Need Help with hunt!

[pcgamer16]

Hey guys, fish and wildlife just called me and I won the western deer raffle. The season is September 1-December and I can take any buck in any area except GMU 45. I usually hunt eastside so I'm clueless as to where to go on the westside. I'm in Puyallup and I need help finding a big buck to shoot in the rut. What I'm hoping for is someone to join me on the hunt where they know a big buck is. Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

Ok, ok, yea I'm a newbie. I got a nice 4x5 whitetail and a cow last year under my belt though. You know, I just realize how big of a deal it is to get to choose any buck on the westside so I just want to keep my options open. Also, my ears open cuz I haven't done one bit of scouting except for bear.

We would love to see some pictures and hear some of your stories.  It always helps your cause, to share some to get some.

So about introducing yourself, a little background and maybe some pics of your cow and whitetail. Its just that some of us get a little excited about people that join and make their first few posts a request for information, rubs folks the wrong way sometimes

You have plenty of time to find and tag that buck, get to know some folks for a bit, I think you will be surprised how much help you will receive with a little bit humble pie

Congratulations!  How many raffle tickets did you buy? I expect you'll be burning up a lot of fuel looking for that monster blacktail, but that's a good problem to have. So what GMU is off limits? Is it the Green River? You typed "45" but obviously you left out one number.  I'm not sure what unit I'd hunt if I had that tag. Probably just the same ones that I'm already familiar with, and I'd plan on being out there the entire month of November.

I wish i drew that raffle.  I saw two booner 4 points while bear hunting.  Absolute hogs.
Congrats, put that tag to good use.

I try to contribute (wherever I can) as much as or more than I ask questions. That way I don't look like a freeloader.

i saw the biggest blacktail ive ever seen two weeks in a row, 4-5 inches outside his ears and very tall. i know where ill be. i agree with the rest of the guys, you cant come on here and ask where to go on your first post. if i were you i would read some books on blacktail hunting and then check the harvest reports when they come out. good luck
