Is "BearPaw" a board member's name who does guided hunts?  I'd be interested if so as this will be my first year hunting in WA (Deer for sure, but I'd like to find someone to go Elk hunting with also).

Thanks,

S

I have been looking at some GMUs around the area too. I haven't hunted much public land as I have either hunted my own or leased it. but I am looking forward to the challenge! I wouldn't mind getting on a bear either! blacktail is on the list as well. I cant wait until my hunting partner, my 6 yo, gets to see an elk up close for the first time! I figure it will take a spell to get used to it all. but, not too many people can say that they have hunted the nw where im from. glad I found this site, yall have been a great help! thanks again!!

Hardship and misery are my companions. I am at my best when conditions are at their worst! H of the MANCHU creed.

Confused at WA hunting regs? Bwahahahaha! Sorry soldier. The operations manual for the M-1 tank is less complicated.

I was in a Marine detachment there, good times.

Thanks for your service.  More and varied opportunities is the norm here.  We have it all.  Rain forests and deserts.  Two kinds of elks, several deer species, three of the four turkey types, protected grizzlies and abundant black bears, multiple predators now including wolves, non native and native upland birds, the pacific flyway for ducks and geese, special permit moose, all of the salmon species, huge lakes, rivers and tiny streams.  The rules are thick.  No hounds, oh, the state issues 'special permits' for hounds with 'problem' predators.  No leg hold traps.  No bear baiting but feed those deer and elk under your tree stand if you like.  Designate your weapon rules, except if ...... You get the idea. 
Good luck, welcome home.
