New to Washington

[derek.arnold1]

Hello everyone! I just moved to Washington last month and can't wait to hunt around here. I just moved to Issaquah and was hopeing to meet some people who could give me a few tips and tricks to hunting around here. I haven't hunted the Northwest in years. I'm originally from Oregon and just got out of the Army. The last couple of years I have been living in Georgia knocking down deer and Hogs. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome to the forum, Derek.  You will find a lot more than you though possible here.  I know, I am from Washington State and have been learning a lot of what I missed while hunting in Germany these last 30 years.

Be sure to take a look at as many threads as you can.  You will be glad you did.

Welcome to WA. Sounds like you might know the area around Benning, eh? This forum's got a lot of ground pounders, so you should feel right at home. Personally, I hunt near Mt. Adams and if you want to hunt that area on the western side, PM me. Archery only for this old man. Thanks for your service.

Welcome Derek......I don't go out alone anymore but at my age I'd only slow you down.  The guys have already said it....this forum is a wealth of information & good people to contact. 

I know its difficult to start over in a new territory but WA has a lot to offer.  Save yourself a lot of time & find a good "podner".  Moved up here 8 yrs ago myself.

Good luck! Sideswipe (SFC ret)....by the way, thanks for serv'in.
