Excited for 2016! (but could use some advice)

[JosefAbrams]

I just wanted to say thanks for the great advice. I've been tearing up statistics and maps like crazy over the last year. I didn't get to hunt the 2016 season, because my daughter was due, but thankfully she was born late, so elk hunting is still an option.

For starters - put your hunting gear on and go to your local car wash on a really cold day (pick a day at 33 degrees). Stand there in the car wash and get hammered by the water jets for an extended period of time until you can't feel any parts of your body but your chest. If you survive - congrats to you! You have just started to learn how to survive a western Washington hunt.
After that - it's pure Heaven! And of course - there are a few warm and dry days too but those are few and far between.

And the meat (if you happen to get any) is the best God gave to mankind! 

You forgot the part where you get out of the car wash, go back to your truck and find it was broken into by some crackheads.
