Do you guys do your scouting alone?  Growing up in cub/boy scouts the big rule was never hike alone, but it seems like if you leave a clear outline of where you are going it would be no problem??

I could easily go scouting on the weekend alone, but going with a buddy who works weekends would require some planning..

Be sure to check out what ever area you decide  to hunt on google maps! This can help you plan hunts and have a better understanding of the road systems in the area. I use it so i can dive into the timber on one road, and hunt through and pop out on another road. Makes me feel more secure and have more fun when om not worried about gettin lost! :tup:

if you hunt by yourself BE PREPARED! I get ribbed for packing too much stuff when going out for an afternoon hunt. Get a good day pack and take your hunting gear plus the 10 essentials. Have a charged phone, and let someone know WHERE you are going and when you should be back. DON'T DEVIATE! Oh ya and pack some heat.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

You are not far from the Capitol Forest area and it can be a good place to go, but get off the road and into the woods. There can be a lot of road hunters and ATV's out there. If you want to wander up to Kitsap/Jefferson county the Olympic Resource Management (Pope Timber Land) can be a good place and I have scouted it some and you can tag along, I can always use the company. Get in touch if you are interested.
