My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)

Will you marry me?? Just kidding  ;). Awesome animals and adventure. My wife hunts as well. But, she has yet to bag a big game animal. I'm hoping my re-dedication to hunting will help me be a better guide for her. Shes had opportunity at some animals but hasn't sealed the deal ...yet. If you have any suggestions, from a huntress perspective, that would help her, please let me know. She is really good at patterning animals and is very patient. Her biggest hump to get over is, getting off the beaten path. Without me with her, she doesn't wander too far from logging roads....cats scare the life out of her. Thank you in advance

With logging roads and living in Bonney Lake, I'm assuming you're primarily hunting blackies, yes? In my elk hunting experience in SW Washington I've done pretty well finding some impressive blacktail bucks... all of which have been off the beaten path, and most around swampy water sources, edges of clearcuts, or big blackberry patches with a few alders intermixed. (Areas with decent shooting lanes). I'm certainly not a blacktail expert, but if I were to give it an honest go of hunting them, I'd probably be inclined to sit high and glass/watch some of those swamp areas early morning and late evening... but that's from a girl who loves the spot-and-stalk, which isn't terribly effective in Western Washington. :) Bucklucky's wife would be the blacktail mentor to seek out. :)

Actually we hunt the NE (Okanogan). We typically scout deer/bear & grouse hunt, August and September. That's usually a good time for her to get out and explore without the pressures of pursuing deer. Shes getting better and better. Our biggest issue has been actually taking the time to get out on the hillsides often. It can also get expensive traveling back and forth between West and East. We have promised ourselves, starting this year, we will be spending as much time learning/teaching hunting to ourselves and our children. I really want to help my wife become a better huntress. She already has the passion of the outdoors. My daughter, so far, also has a tremendous interest in hunting. We are hoping it is a legitimate interest in hunting and not JUST "daddy time" (shes 7). But, with woman like my wife, you and many other woman on HW, that enjoy the outdoors and pursuing big game, i'm hoping that her interest will never fade. I really enjoy having two ladies in my house that prefer to spend their free time outdoors. Thank you again.
Its the goin'.....Not the gettin'
