I moved to WA over 1 year ago and would like to do some Elk and Deer hunting but I do not know the good spots as of yet. I have a 4x4 truck and all the gear needed to go just looking to join a hunting party and find some people to hunt with. I'm 27yr old male who lives in Seattle I've been hunting back in my home state of Wisconsin since I was 12 years old so I know what I'm doing nobody has to babysit me I'm an experienced hunter.

Im thinkin the same thing. I have never Deer hunted or Elk hunted, just waterfowl and other birds. I would be stoked to have a group that would be willing to show a newbie the ropes. I also have the gear, trailer, gun, and good ethics.

You might want to specify what weapon you want to hunt with since this is a choose your weapon state. And maybe what side of the state you prefer for hunting elk. You have to either hunt the west or eastside.

Lots of good people here...if you're willing to pull your weight (sounds like you are) you should find someone to partner up with. Also, you might want to consider offering a whitetail hunt back in Wisconsin in exchange, if that is doable. Just a thought...

If you need help on how to go about finding huntable land, how to deal with timber company land, tactics for the wide variety of game out here, I'm happy to help.

Welcome to the site. Jump right in and participate in the dicussions, by the time elk season comes around you will have plenty of friends to hook up with or you will have burned a lot of bridges, time will tell

I'm just a modern rifle hunter myself, I was looking at the westside but would not rule out a eastside hunt if it was a good area. Any help would be great THANKS!

eastside is 10 times better than the wetside to my opinion

No, all you can shoot are those itty bitty spikes.

I've been hunting the west and north olympic peninsula for several years now, if anyone is interested in a team up or even just trading notes, let me know.

I have just moved here from Oregon i am looking to meet others that are archery elk hunters on the west side or east. have all equipment as well. i have private property in Oregon to hunt in the sixes unit. thanks for your time.

redjeepgirl · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2009, 12:47:46 AM »

Hate to basically say whats been said, but I'm looking for the same. I'm mostly interested in deer and elk, varmints or whatever. I've got most of the necessary equipment. I usually hunt with a .45-70 or a .30-30 and am used to shorter shots in Maine. I'm considering getting some sort of longer range rifle eventually. I have a fairly nice hunting rig as well. I'd like to take a regionally relevant hunters safety course as well, I have the basic NRA one under my belt. I'm still a bit of a newbie. Feel free to pester me. =)

I'm in the same boat.
27 year old with strong back looking to learn the ropes in elk hunting. Been bowhunting deer for 14 years but would like to try my hand at elk. Willing to put miles on my boots. Have packboard and sense of humor. Currently serving in Iraq but will be back home this summer. September is a busy month but willing to hunt east or west with bow or rifle.

Timmybob · « **Reply #19 on:** June 15, 2009, 09:48:44 PM »

I'm the same...Been hunting solo for 6 years now. I live in Seattle 34 yrs old and usually hunt the archery deer/elk season. I scout a lot and love getting out. We all seem to be looking for pards here. Lets figure out a way to hook up some how. I like "hunting" alone, but it's cool to share a camp with some good folks ya know??

ICEMAN · « **Reply #20 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:08:24 AM »

If you folks are serious about possibly hooking up with one another for the season, I would step it up and plan some scouting trips together now, to provide enough quality time together to get to know one another. Don't wait.

Scouting trips are an awesome time to get to know each other. The stakes of the day are lower, so things are more low key and you can figure out whether you really like this person.

I agree with the scouting thing.....Unfortunately my wife has me building a monstrocity of a patio right now, but after the 4th of July I will be a weekend scouting machine. I Live in the Seattle area and usually scout the West side. After the 4th if anyone os interested, just shoot me a PM and lets role............
