Two years ago I started hunting after a friend talked me into it. It wasn't hard to talk me into but that friend never really hunted with me after realizing a family friend was a serious hunter. So although he got this cool mentor, I got stuck. I hunted anyway mostly solo but had no luck. My second year I drew multi-season (kinda by accident as I was trying to build points) so I bought a bow, practiced excessively and hunted modern firearm and archery for deer. Elk was just modern. So after two years I finally started to find good ground in the Skookumchuk GMU but have now moved North to Auburn area.
I already know I am behind the eight ball with no scouting, but I am looking for meat not necessarily your trophy, so any ideas on where I might look close to Auburn would be appreciated. I am new, but very serious and would love to show the wife that the money for this sport goes somewhere productive. Any help from the experienced would be GREATLY appreciated.
