Private land rifle mule deer hunt anyone?
« on: October 11, 2022, 12:37:18 AM »
Opening day is coming up quick the 15th! I think this might be my first post here I don't remember. I've just read posts here a handful of times and haven't had much use for the site probably because of my unique situation. Well, on to the point now. I have access to thousands of acres of private land mule deer habitat and no one to hunt with anymore. Its getting boring by myself. I have shot many bucks here over the years and basically have this property figured out. My success rate has been close to 100% and I have taken some nice bucks over the years. I have known the owner for almost twenty years and he trusts me because I have always been honest, respected him and his land including the surrounding properties and never broken any of the rules. If I say someone hunting with me is a trustworthy person he doesn't have a problem with me bringing them along and its always been that way. That being said you have to be a person worthy of trust. My hunting buddies have all moved away and are hunting their new home states these days. I honestly didn't even plan on hunting WA this yr but here I am. Anyway so there are a couple of catches lol! There is always a catch right. #1 you can't be a dirt bag. #2 you have to pm me your picture a little bit about yourself and a detailed reason i should take you with me also a phone number might help. This is a fun hunt I typically see anywhere from 30-100 plus deer a day mostly does, the bucks are there just harder to spot they know the drill. I may not reply to all pm's I am very busy and if that offends you i apologise up front. If I bring you with me and you burn me or do anything stupid I can assure you, you will never hunt this property again. Outside of that I am a pretty easy going guy. This is an eastern WA hunt obviously, we can discuss more details later.

Sounds like a great opportunity for someone. I’m sure you’ll have 100 people beating your door down so I won’t throw my name in the hat. Good luck to everyone going out this weekend.

I am sure there are a high number of people contacting you and willing to take you up. Perhaps you should say a little about yourself too.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Jeffrey Dahmer came to mind, then banjos.   Some of you are pretty desperate, so there is always fresh bait to work with

Hey Man... open this up to a kid only and the kids parent can come along to help, maybe make the kid write an essay on conservation  :chuckle:... this sounds like a great opportunity for a newer hunter also... Its a great offer for someone.

That could possibly elevate the creepy factor just a little more.  “Send me a picture of your kid”

No offense meant, but my first thought was
Hunting Washington now has a hunter dating section WTH  :dunno:
 :chuckle:

It does sound like a great opportunity for someone, depending on you tastes of course  :chuckle:
