History with Hunt-WA
« on: September 23, 2019, 07:39:53 PM »
I was thinking the other day about what a great site this has been for a long time.   I've been a member of this site for as long as I've been married; longer than my daughter has been alive.  Through 4 jobs and 3 house builds...

When i joined this site, I had just gotten out of the Navy and was motivated to become a great hunter.   The site has lots of great information, member's willing to help, and most importantly (for me), guys on the site who had consistently taken mature animals year after year.   Guys like Huntnphool and Boneaddict were an inspiration to me.   If they could do it, maybe I could too?   That pushed me to try and emulate their successes.

I've met some great people on this site and even got to share a few hunts with folks.  I've also made lifelong friends.   

When I joined this site, I had never taken a mule deer over about 155' or a whitetail over 130".  I have much to owe to this site and hope that I can help others find success as those folks who have and continue to help me.  If nothing else, I will continue to share my successes and time to time, a story if time allows.

Below is a little timeline, through success photos, of my time on hunt-wa.
