Ok I have had enough

[bigtex]

I have had enough of "I just drew X tag, can you guys help me out?" When you put in for permit areas you should at least know the general geography for the area. I have seen numerous people on this site ask if "this is a good unit?" the WDFW does a great service to us by publishing the hunter success rate for ALL permits from the prior year, do some RESEARCH BEFORE YOU APPLY! Do I put in for areas that I might not know a whole lot about? Yes, but I don't come on here asking for help, I go out and hike/drive my a*s off like you use to do prior to the internet! Another thing, I am sick of this "i accidently applied for X unit", how do you accidently apply? Review your choices BEFORE you press submit. These are just like the people who apply for areas which require an access permit from a company but yet complain on here that they have to pay an additional fee, read the regs! It says you have to pay a fee! RESEARCH PEOPLE!

Feel better?  I'm not much for asking advise on areas (of course I haven't drawn too many "x" tags), but if I happen to know a thing or two about an area that might help a fellow hunter out what does it hurt?  Really, when it comes down to it what is the big deal?  This post reminds me of the Utards over on another site where all they do is %*tch and complain about each other.  Just my .02; good luck this fall

It's OK to voice opinions, please leave the name calling out though.

Upset much? lol

Be glad a fellow hunter drew the tag, not some hippie who took hunters education so they could apply for a hunt and 'save' an animal by drawing and intentionally eating a tag.

By the way, I drew a late Entiat rifle deer tag, if anyone could tell me where Entiat is that would be great. Also, I've never taken a buck in my life and plan to shoot the first legal buck I see.  I never wake up early so if anyone knows a good road to drive mid day where I have a good chance to blast on standing in the road (I'd rather not have to pack it far, or at all for that matter), let me know please! And last but not least, I won't be over there until opening day, so the road needs to be easy enough to find.  Thx!!!



JK lol. . . .

There are 2 sides to this rant, 1: If you put in for  "X" tag, you should have a map and know what you are getting into. 2: Some areas are a pain in the arse to get to know and recognize. I don't know any area real well,, but I am more than happy to share what I know to help a guy/gal out that managed to draw a tag to a sweet spot. We all know that if we get drawn to a sweet thing we are going to get as much help / info as we can. It is the luck of the draw. If we start drawing lines in the sand against each other it will be the demise of our passion....hunting....fishing....outdoors

Sorry to sound like a cheesecake....I will return to my cave.

Ive hunted this state for 20 years and if someone draws a tag and needs some help im all about that.  I was selected for the 2nd deer tag called Miller and its a new 2nd deer hunt for archery and ive never hunted up there.  Does that make me a bad guy for asking for help?  Im glad a hunter got the tag rather then the anti

[huntnnw]

wow, there are plenty of areas i would like to hunt in this state, but would never hunt there until I draw the tag... so where does it hurt to ask.? I have drawn in area I have never hunted here before got great advice and made a few good friends from the hunt.I have helped people out many times.

i like to see other hunters succeed just as much as i enjoy succeeding so i will help out as much as i can. plus when i am in need of help hopefully people will remember that i was a nice guy and karma will be on my side to get some help as well.

i understand his rant to a point, if someone is just blindly applying for hunts and gets drawn and has no idea what to do or where to go that is frustrating, but at the same time as long as its a fellow hunter ill still be happy for them (and jealous).

Agreed. And if I were researching, studing, and getting ready for a hunt that I possibly put in for for years, I can think of no better collection of folks to ask for advice. After all, isn't that PART of the research? Finding folks that have knowledge of that particular area/hunt and picking their brains? I don't see that as any different than any other kind of research. In fact, in today's digital age, I think a guy or gal would be stupid not to use this resource.
