I assume you are stationed at Ft.Lewis ? It's a great place to start getting used to hunting here in WA state. Check out the adveenture center on North Fort. Training areas 3,4,5,7, close in and a variety of terrain, both open and thick. My son has been out a couple of times this season. The deer are still in their summer patterns and moving little and usually later in the evening. There are some big bucks out there !
