Hi,

I have zero hunting experience but am starting to plan now for next season.  I live in Vancouver, WA and plan to scout the Washougal GMU from now through the summer.  I am in the gym 5 days a week getting in shape with some rucking on the weekend.  I am in the process of buying a bow and setting up a 20 yard range in my backyard.  I have plenty of outdoor experience.  I hike, backpack, canoe, trail run and snowshoe.

I'm 42 years old, married and have two kids.  I'd like to start figuring hunting out now so that I can start taking my kids out with me when they are old enough.  Reach out if you are interested.

Welcome!

A lot of info can be had in the "Search" function. There are a ton of great people on this forum, and a few ugly ones to keep it interesting, LOL.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Have you been to Archery World yet? Good place to talk shop. So far my score is 1 deer, 1 rabbit, and a California pig with a rifle. Been trying to get after an elk since I took up archery 6 years ago.

I'll be back in town in a few weeks and would love to have a beer with you. As said above, check out Archery World on St. Johns, just north of Minnehaha.

Hey PMan, maybe we need to get a few local forum members together for Pizza, Pitchers and BSing.

We should, buddy. I'll arrange the time and place and then everyone who comes can buy me a beer. Sounds fair, right?  :chuckle: Let me get back to Earth and we should plan after the 1st. I still have the list of the attendees from the last one.

I'll buy the first round! Sounds like a plan. Safe Landings!

Might be a good plan.
