Looking for archery hunting partner or group near Bellingham

[Ben20121057]

 have been hunting Washington state with little success for about 5-6 years now. I put the time in scouting, setting trail cams and do my research but have at this point only harvested one doe. I grew up hunting in Illinois but as you can imagine the country is very different and blackmail and elk are very different from whitetail. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to hunt with someone or a group that has experience hunting big game in western Washington, especially around Bellingham GMUs 407 and 448.

Ben I would be scouting now. Drive roads look for sign, ride or walk past gates.

The 407 has a great late season.  Read Byod Iversons Blacktail Trophy Tactics 2.
Silver Arrow Bowmen is a great club in Mount Vernon. We have a bunch of members from B ham. We have a thread on here. Classifieds, charities and organizations, Silver Arrow Bowmen... we also have a FB page.

Mature blacktail often go nocturnal after the earlie season. I've shot several deer but no really nice ones.

Nothing to do with your post or to help you really, but a little history lesson if nothing else to bump your request to the top.   I knew of it, maybe even jaded about it as a local, but back in the day in the Methow there was a camp near Pearrygin Lake that was known as Little Bellingham.   A whole group of families from Bellingham would show up to hunt the lower Ramsey and Sullivan lake area.   Id forgotten about it, but a member on here was telling me a story about how it was "founded" so to speak, as we reminisced about the old days.

Would be great if a group like this existed in Whatcom County.  Seems like a good group!

I am scouting now, I'm looking for someone to scout and hunt with as a team that has more experience than I do.

There is a new archery club, Ferndale Archery Club, might be a good way to meet more locals.  They now run the shooting course at Intalco.  Check them out on FB.
