new to hunting help

[zach1234]

Im new to hunting. I have done my hunter ed and i want to go deer hunting this next season.
If any one has any good areas to hunt or any good tips for a new person like me it would help.
I live in the puyallup area but would travel any where in the state.
I have a remington 742 in 308 and a mossberg 500 im going to get a slug barrel so i think that covers modern firearms.  thank you for your time

Welcome to the site. Might want to go and introduce yourself in the introductions section and then start cruising all the posts, there is a plethera of information on here.

[Snowman]

Welcome to the site. Hang around awhile add a few more posts and eventually some one will help you out. I'm a little more north and haven't spent much time in your area. Some good hunting around there though. Tons of info floating around here.  

[oneezreiter]

Welcome, you are going to want to take a look around the sight and tell people about yourself before you start asking about hunting areas.  Other wise it could get ugly.

i went a head and put up a post in the introductions spot.
i was not trying to take any ones spot to hunt i was talking more in general terms you know like oly penninsula lake chelan mt rainier that kind of thing hope i did not make any one to mad.

[Gutpile]

No ones mad. Stick around for a while I'm sure someone will give you some good advice. Got a ways to go till next season so stick around and enjoy yourself in the mean time. We see lots of new guys come around. Some stay and some go. The guys who stick around always end up getting a bit of help.

[huntlakewood]

Hey Zach new to the site too waving a hand there is always Vail tree farm out side of rainier open on the weekends only and you have to drive in and out every day ( which S**** )  I have hunted there all my life with my family have killed a lot of Deer there. I would be very aware of your surroundings cause there are a lot of hunters up there gets really crazy some times. I think the local stores have maps of the logging roads too.
Do too the people you might use this as the last resort cause it truly does get crazy sometimes.

if your serious about learning and soaking up as much info as possible, using the search feature will keep you busy reading for at least a month or 2. im not kidding.

[carpsniperg2]

howdy, wish i new some areas to point you in but i don't know that area. good luck to you some great people here that should be able to point you in a decent direction

Hey there, welcome aboard. I am not as knowledgable as the folks on here, been stuck in a fog for too many years so I am getting myself back to hunting. I grew up chasing pheasant mostly, the deer and elk I am still rookie status in my opinion. If you ever get the desire to check out the east side (Spokane, Deer Park, Newport areas) look me up, got an open door. I archery hunt, but my wife and daughter plan to take hunters ed this year and will rifle hunt.

[Crunchy]

I live in Puyallup  as well your not far from chasing some blacktails.  I hunt the Stormking unit.  There are a lot of deer in that unit, just not many big boys that I have seen.  You cant go to wrong anywhere around that unit from what I have seen just spend some time glassin clearcuts and you'll spot some deer.

[bonecrusher]

i saw a huge 3x3 with eye gaurds in the storm king last year. lots of public land too

[Copperwood]

Hey Zach,

Puyallup is only an hour away from Shelton where I know of a lot of bucks being taken. Behind the mill is always a good spot.
