Western WA Deer Hunting?

[Savage3006]

I'm still new to hunting in Western Wa. I started hunting here two years ago with a buddy from work who has hunted here all his life. I do have a couple of spots near North Bend and Tiger Mountain East I'd like to try this year. I don't see any firearm restrictions in the 2009 regs for these areas. I would really like to hook up with some fellow hunters for an annual deer camp.

I assume you're talking east of Hwy 18, west of Hwy 18 is a firearm restricted area.  The problem with this area is you'll probably be running into alot of people up there. 

Waltz, some of the things you might think about doing is going to a local DNR office and picking up a map and asking about available DNR land or contacting a local game agent to suggest some public areas that you can hunt locally.

Ok so since im semi stupid in this matter what does DNR mean?

yeah kettle's trail is open to hunting.....good luck with that crap it is so thick and overgrown it's a pain in the as* to hunt.  i hunted it a few days last year....  there are a few public hunting spots up here....but you have to know someone that has land to pretty much tag a deer...pheasant hunting is a different beast...there are three pheasant release sites that are actually decent on the island...get a shotgun and your tag and we'll head over to ebey's landing

I got my shotgun ready all i need to do is buy my tags. Is the berry farm people talk about on this island Greenbank farms?

[Savage3006]

Yes, east of HWY 18 is open but will be busy with orange. Ebey Island is a good bet for birds from what I have been told. Just got invited to hunt Elbe area on opening weekend. Maybe we can hit up North Bend or Tiger Mtn following weekend. Good hunting everybody!

If you get on I-90 and head east from Hwy 18 try any east of North Bend.  You really cant go wrong.  I seen deer on Denny Creek, Hansen Creek, and hunted into Stampede Pass.  Lots of land to check out and hunt.

just a heads up....pheasant tag is 90 bucks....washington doesn't care that we are getting paid a military wage....jerks

lol yea i know this state is pretty ridiculous about hunting tag prices. Look here and see what it is for me back home.
