@terrelwaOh man, so much opportunity.Is a guided waterfowl hunt in eastern Washington out of the question? That's a great way to get your whistle wet. A good outfit will put you over $10,000-20,000 worth of decoys in prime flight paths with a guide to do your calling for a modest $250-300. I know Echterkamp just had a group of 6 guys limited by 7:30 in the morning. Hunting big game in western WA can be a very frustrating affair for someone starting out. The animals are notoriously difficult to hunt (blacktail) and they live in some of the thickest country around.The budget is tight but hat might actually be doable, and I was planning on looking into that. Yes, Blacktails are tough to hunt- typically I get a story rather than an animal, lol. Deer hunting has become more about getting off my butt and getting into the woods, with the added bonus that I might take some meat home.Whatever you do, don't give up. There is a lot of opportunity for hunting in WA.
@Tinker PearceIf you are a veteran check out the fallen outdoors on the facebook. Lots of waterfowl hunts get posted this time of year with myself included as one of the guys that post hunts to take other vets out. If your not a veteran please keep in contact with me as after I get back from my Colorado mule deer hunt for the next week and half I will be switching gears to target snow geese in the Skagit valley.
