Lost

If you're planning on rifle hunting on the west side and you haven't bought a rifle yet, save a few more pennies and buy stainless.  You will not regret it but you might if you don't.

Thanks.  I haven't bought a rifle yet.

700 Remington's are very nice rifles, you might try the classifieds on here for some good deals too.

Make sure you pick up quality optics as well, you will use binos more than the rifle, money spent should be in the same correlation to the rifle purchase IMO.

I wish you didn't live so far away. My wife's getting tired of tagging after me. Hunting is a hard thing to "learn" from advice.

How's the search going?

I'm almost in the same situation as yourself...I lived in the state from 1997 - 2003 but never got out hunting (yes...this time I can blame an ex-wife on it). I was raised in NW Pennsylvania and grew up hunting, but after joining the USAF, I got stationed overseas and my hunting kind of dried up.

Anyhow...divorced and remarried a Northern PA girl (my ex was British and anti-gun). I have now retrieved my guns and built my collection up a bit...still need more in the collection. I just moved back here from Washington DC area and am looking to start hunting again. Need to find places to hunt and people to hunt with.

What I "don't" want to do is step on the toes of those who already have established hunting areas that they claim...nothing worse than an "outsider" hunting your old hunting grounds that you and your family/friends have been hunting for years.

So...if you are looking for someone to hunt with...I'll be willing. I have a background in hunting...little bit rusty, but able. I'm going to see who I know here already that hunts and see if I can join them or have them point me in the right direction...if so, I can bring you along if you like.

Just a thought...

If you dont have a good topo map of post get one from your s3 it has the training areas on it and is really useful when looking for spots. On JBLM seems every week the training areas are open for something different like archery one week, closed the next followed by rifle. If you still looking for a spot PM me and I can tell you where to start for different seasons and tactics I have used for each area. Ill be out there archery for bear, deer and the elusive elk

I actually am in S3. And I just so happen to be the land and ammo manager lol. However I'm in an EOD unit and I haven't seen any updated maps come thru lately.  I can probably go get one from range control. I'll pm you in the morning.

The search is still somewhat on going.  I'll pm you in the morning as well.

I would like to apologize for not replying in a timely manner.  I wasn't ignoring anyone I've been super busy these past few weeks and I also haven't been getting any notifications. Thanks everyone for the replies & advice.
