I've been an outdoor enthusiast forever; camping, hiking, exploring, etc. I grew up doing boy scouts and even remember shooting a gun or two. My dad used to hunt when I was little but stopped before I had the opportunity to learn. Now that I'm older and have 2 boys of my own, I want to branch out into the world and procure food the way humans were meant to and I want my kids to know where their food comes from. I'm hoping when I gain more experience, I'll be able to take them out and teach them about hunting and conservation as well.
I live in the Everett area but I'm willing to travel wherever the game for beginners are at. It's hard to know where to start.

Sounds like my story. Even started with turkey, but the west side impossible birds. I found them, was able to call them in but it never worked out. Same with big game, see plenty of animals but fail to seal the deal trying to get within bow range. As far as getting started. I used this site a bunch to research areas that could be good within a 2 hr drive, asked questions on this forum, got onX so I could find public land with access and then put boots on ground. I also like to explore and see what I can see. I would do morning scouting trips at least once a week all year around. Rain, shine or snow. I’d walk roads behind gates, If I found sign or saw animals I’d come back again and explore further. Maybe put out a trail camera if I found decent game trails or was just curious about foot traffic in the area. I now have a few places that I consistently see animals so I just go to those since I’m limited on hunting time. Hope that helps a little. I’m no expert by any means, this will be my 5th year at it and Ive enjoyed every minute of my time in the woods. Every minute you’re out there you can learn something and that’s how I’ve been approaching this new endeavor.

I can find animals and can get some what close but always blow the stock in some way. looking for any experienced bow hunters that can give me some tips or go hunting with or who just wants to shoot bows and talk about hunting. anything would help. P.M if your interested. thanks in advance.

Hey fellow hunters, I recently moved back to WA in the Puyallup area. I lived here for many years until 2010 and hunted units 460, 654 and 667. I got a nice deer in 2009 in unit 667. Sadly, my longtime hunting partner passed away unexpectedly a couple of years ago. I'm not really a solo hunter, I believe in partnering up with people I can trust and that we can help each other out when needed, watch each other's backs, vehicles, etc. especially with all of the criminals running rampant these days. I hunt with a rifle and can hike pretty far if the terrain isn't too bad. I'm 56 years old and not in the best shape but I still get around pretty good. Would like to meet up with some likeminded folks (Pro 2A, Hunting Fishing), hunt some deer and set up or join an annual Westside hunt camp if at all possible. I also have a good friend who is a disabled hunter that I would really like to help get a deer someday. I wish you all a successful hunt this year and all the years ahead. :tup:

Hello guys, I live in the Bellingham area and I've been gearing up to go out for my first rifle deer season this October. I am a new hunter looking to build some connections. I have no family members that have any experience and most of my friends do not hunt or only hunt waterfowl. I've been educating myself and gearing up over the last 3-4 months but there is only so much you can learn from podcasts, YouTube, internet, and books. Thanks again guys. Feel free to send me a personal message or just comment on the board. Thanks guys and looking forward to hearing from yall soon.
