Want to go hunting?

[Steef]

So I'm re-introducing to hunting.  I hunted growing up in Montana and later in Texas, but that's been a while (I'm late 30's now).  I haven't hunted WA yet, but I'm looking for partners, locations, etc.  I'm hoping to do some Deer hunting, Elk if it's possible and then I'm open to just about anything else (Bear/Cougar/Coyote/Turkey, etc).   Any advice for WA hunting?  What are the needs, wants and luxuries of hunting (besides the obvious:  gun/knife/license/tags).  Thanks and I hope to meet up with what seems to be a good community on this board.

So like a lot of the posts on here I'm new to the area and would love a hunting partner to go kill stuff with. The Army stationed us on JBLM and we are loving the great NW. I have hunted deer and small game, firearm and archery for the past 20 yrs but the eastern/central Part of the country. Very diffrent out here as you all know. Come hell or high water ill be spending time this fall in the woods with a weapon. It will just be great if I'm partnered up w someone and using my time effectively in the woods. If someone needs a battle buddy I'm willing to learn and do what I can to slay some critters.

New to bowhunting, seems like there are a lot of us, from Puyallup.  Willing to drive someone to a spot or hook up and pay my way. I am looking to Bow Hunt for Deer any weekend in September. Would really like to set something up with someone that knows what they are doing so that I can learn from them.  Will have license and tags ready for the trip.

Thanks

Moved to Seattle 6 years ago from Colorado. Went Turkey hunting this year, and it was first time Hunting in Washington. No Turkeys were bagged 

Very interested in Rabbit hunting this year, just need to know of good area's and would be grateful for a guide. More in this post http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,131614.0.html

Just got my Mosin setup with a scope and am 101% into Deer hunting this year. I know there is a challenging area that opens up Sept 15. Not sure if I am up to that climb without a good guide.

Thanks All,
Craig

Hey all,

I'm new to hunting this season, though not really a stranger to the outdoors or shooting. Been out in the Palouse (wsu) for a few years now and seen/heard a lot about hunting. Thought I'd give it a shot as its always appealed to me. Hoping someone out there in eastern Washington would be willing to show me the ropes, or let me tag along to get a feel for the sport. Definitely willing to put in the effort. Would prefer modern rifle, although I would definitely be interested in archery as well.

Feel free to send me a pm. Would also be interested in forming a group with other newbies as well.

Can't believe how hard it is to find someone to hunt with. I have thousands of acres of private land to hunt for bear/deer too
Someone that will put in the time and effort too

Anyone got a good spot for late season archery elk/deer and want a partner? I've got a westside tag for elk but I could do East for deer. Also, if someone doesn't have a spot, but is willing to explore hit me up also...

I'd be open to it as well, I've been in washington for about 4 years now but haven't done any hunting, just some fly fishing. I grew up in Arkansas hunting there and Kansas as well. But this part of the country is quite different, it was much easier when I grew up learning where all to hunt. Anyways I'll be gearing myself up pretty soon for modern gun and possibly late archery. Would love to be able to start off hunting out here on private lands where it's a little less stressful to start!

Be sure to read the regs carefully, you have to choose modern rifle OR archery seasons.

Ahh thanks for that, I missed that part, guess I read through all the regs while I was a little too sleepy!

Good call on the thread. Im new to achery as of this year. Im military up here at Ft Lewis but Im from Nampa Idaho. I just got back from two weeks hunting in Idaho and pulled my first muley and cow. Im absolutely hooked and heard theres a late archery season here. Im all for a good elk or deer hunt or both. My family made sure I was well versed in tracking (2 deer+1 elk w bad shots=18hrs of tracking BLAH!!!) But if someone knows this area, and wants a partner to hunt with, that can call elk (havnt called deer yet) and track, Id loved to join ya and learn this area as well. Being military I would only be able to hunt at night and weekends though.
