[jennyfell55]

Well there goes that plan then LOL. Is anyone still going out for bear? I've got a tag burning a hole in my pocket...

My son and I have burned our bear tags.  We only half assed it this year though.  Any luck lining anything up for deer?

Still a few out for bear.  The longer you wait until the end of the season, the furrier and fatter they get.  Plus, by getting a bear in the colder weather less likely to lose meat.  I'm not familiar with your area so can't say I know of places there for bears.

Hmmmm, i need to think about that.    How far are you willing to drive?  I don't hunt the west side.

DoubleJ: I've had a couple people talk to me about deer, but I'm always looking for more. I figure the more I can get into the woods the better my chances of bringing home a deer  I am in the southern Lakewood, between Ft Lewis and Tacoma. Driving isn't too big of an issue for me as my car gets decent mileage. What it can't do is get up forest roads That's one of the reasons I'm looking for a partner actually, in addition to wanting some good company and not being comfortable going into the woods alone looking for something that can eat me  I'd prefer to not drive to Idaho or anything  but the drive to Monroe a couple weeks ago wasn't bad at all.

Looking to months from now/next season here, I'm in the process of getting a longer barrel with chokes for my shotgun. Once that's taken care of I'd love to try my hand at waterfowl and turkey hunting. I would love to find someone to be my mentor to take me under their wing The barrel is 28" with a 3" chamber and interchangeable chokes.. is that suitable for these activities?

I will be out in the woods all this week after work in the Shelton area, little bit of a drive from Lakewood but hey if you can make it I'm out solo right now too and might need the help packing some meat out of the woods or vice-versa.

If you already have a short barrel, that will work for turkey. 28" will be good for the ducks/geese. Check out the turkey thread. Lots of good information in there. Ping me if you have any questions. I'm a turkey junkey.
