Western WA Deer Hunting?
« on: October 09, 2009, 06:28:58 PM »
Is there any one in Western WA that would take a newbie hunting and learn me the ropes. I am willing to hunt for anything to try it at least once. I don't have anywhere to go hunting so I am calling out for help  :'(. I hope someone is willing too Thanks.  :)

Good luck to you. I have tried the same with very few results. Get online and start searching for public access lands. They are out here but far and few between that I have found. Maybe next year if I find some places to go we will go together but I am in the same boat.

Good luck!!

Thanks Galpster. I have been doing a lot of researching and I think I have found a place but I want to scout it out. This is my first and only year to hunt here in WA so I want to make sure I take advantage of it. Good luck too you as well.

Waltz, let me know where you're going, and I'll lend some insight if I can.   Sorry, I've got my 17 and 15 year olds coming later in the week.

isnt there some firearm restricted area you could hunt on whidbey island?   this might mean rifle deer season you use a shotgun,bow or muzzle loader     but that might be something to look into.
you cant eat the horns, but backstraps look like crap on my wall!!!!

Tony04,
Lives in Blacktail country.  Just head to Morton or anywhere nearby.  Thats the general area that I blacktail hunt.  Lots of deer, no real monsters that I have seen but there are some nice ones out there.

I hunt at least one afternoon of almost every weekend there is...

I hunt Cap Forrest or the Skookumchuck...

neither is great but both are close to lcaey and thats where I live!

Im not a great hunter but I spend a lot of time in the woods and accidentally kill something small and unimpressive from time to time!

Come to Lacey and go with me!

pm me if your interested!
