I'm planning on hunting the north end of the Olympic Peninsula for the the modern rifle season and figured I would extend an invitation to whoever wants to come. Don't care if it's your first hunt or 50th time hunting. Bear in mind it will be my first hunting excursion in the area, so I won't be a golden ticket to putting someone on deer. I am in Afghanistan till the first week of November and won't be able to scout the area. I am pouring through maps and satellite photos though, so won't be totally blind going into it. Mostly just looking for someone to BS with at night after the days hunt is over. I'm not a huge drinker, but will have a beer or two. I like to hunt alone, but a couple guys in the same area comparing notes can be helpful. Or if you have an area you want to hunt and are looking for some one to BS with I could be swayed to change my plans. My normal hunting partner transferred out of state and last year I got bored sitting around the camp by myself, so figured I would see if I can find a new friend or two here. You all seem like good people (for the most part!). I live on Whidbey Island if that matters much. Oh, and I am going on shore duty after this deployment and plan on catching up on all the hunting I've missed out on since I have made 3 deployments here in 3 years now. So let me know if you are interested.
