Hey guys, I guess this is kind of like a introduction and a "where to go" post!
A little about myself, My names Cody, im 22, father of two beautiful girls. I have been an avid fisher my whole life, and have been hunting the last 8 years or so. My family use to have this huge camp up in Goldendale for the late archery hunt, we had 8-10 people with us, and all of the 'neighbors' through out the years became like family, Almost always the same people. Unfortunately we dont hunt there anymore (last 5 years or so) and my family started hunting up in Walla Walla area. Only problem with that is, as i got older and had to start working for a living, its hard to get enough time off to make the trip to walla walla worth it (From Kent, 98030)
Are there any places to hunt around 1-3, maybe 4 hours away? Like a weekend warrior type deal? I wont be able to hunt this year, but I definitely want to start scouting some areas for next years hunt.
Im interested in hunting deer / elk, either archery or modern firearm, im good with both

I'm Even trying to get into some bird hunting action too.
(Sorry if this is the wrong place, Im new the the forums)
Thanks a ton.
