Is there a specific forum for introductions or should i just pick a page and give some backround on myself? I have noticed a lot of guys asking me to introduce myself and i just cant figure out where to post that info.

I live on Camano and bow hunt it. I have never taken a deer.Its thick brush and i dont know why but the deer seem to be really nocturnal.That being said i almost got to draw on the biggist blacktail i have ever seen about 10 years ago a mile from my house.

Camano also offers a second deer permit.  There is about 50 offered and usually 38-40 put in for.  My buddies had a nice row of deer hanging last year.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Hey everyone i just moved to Camano and will be looking for someone to bow hunt black tail with. I am a long time hunter and eager to hit the brush, so let me know if you are looking for someone to meet up with and if we click go on a hunt or two.

I'm also interested in doing a hunt on Camano this weekend 11.18.17 for the late general any deer season with my daughter.  Do you have any suggestions on spots?  Any help is appreciated.  I'm getting back into hunting since moving here from AZ 15 years ago.

Your very best bet is finding private land permission. Otherwise bait pile is a definite thing to try.

The island is incredibly densely populated now nothing like in the past.

All ribbing aside, its pretty tough going on the Island unless you have private land to hunt. The few places that are public are densely forested, very difficult to hunt, and not many animals. As Runamuk said, its getting to be a pretty busy place these days, not near the amount of open ground out there that there used to be. You're much better off finding state/DNR/private timber land somewhere else in 407, or even heading out to Whidbey to some of the public ground out there.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Unless you have them coming in your yard or another spot that's private I wouldn't waste your time. There is way bigger deer on the mainland. I killed a 2x3 on the rock last year that was 9 years old.
