My name is Ladislav and I'm originally from Slovakia. I'm a software engineer and I moved here 2 years ago. Currently I live in Bellevue but I'm not stick to that place so if there were some hunting opportunities somewhere else (even Spokane) I'm ok with traveling there. I was not hunting back in Slovakia mostly because I was lazy to pass all the bureaucratic procedures (we're part of European Union, so basically everything you want to do requires to pass a lot of tests, fill many papers. And in case of hunting you're allowed to hunt only in small area where you live unless you pay big money to be able to hunt somewhere else) but both my grandpas and uncles were/are hunters. However I have pretty good experience with all kind of guns.
I passed hunter's ed and got my hunting license this year. I'm member of Wildlife Committee of WA (WCWI - Kenmore range). I like trap and pistol shooting and I'm on the range almost every weekend except summer as I love going camping.
My hunting goals for this year are to go duck, turkey and/or deer hunting. I would hunt for meat not trophy. But mostly I would like to gain some experience. I have Winchester Model 70 Featherweight (30-06) and CZ 612 (12 gauge shotgun). I would prefer to hunt with the rifle but the shotgun is good too
