I am 15 and looking for my first deer. I have tried to get out in the past but it hasn't worked out. I am relatively new to hunting with both my parents being non-hunters. As far as deer hunting, I have no experience. I live in the renton area but am constantly over in grays harbor. I really just need to get out there for the first time and learn how it is done. I would also be open to other Big Game opportunities. I can pay for gas and a meal or two along the way as well!

Hang in there :tup: I know that it is hard to get into hunting when you are young, especially when your parents don't hunt. Just hang in there, even if opportunities don't show up this year. What season do you plan to hunt (archery, mod. fire. muzzy) :dunno: Getting a hunting buddy would be a great start (I think that is what you are doing now).Nope. Not until next year.
Get your learners permit asap :tup:
Another couple of weeks until I get the Permit! :tup:
And I plan on hunting modern firearm.

Gray's Harbor County is chock full of deer and elk. Just have to find them. I hope someone can take you along. From reading some of your past posts, it looked like you tried but kind of got screwed being able to hunt last year. I hope it works out better for you this year.
Yeah. I actually was planning on hunting doe with Bearpaw up in colville in october, but that got canceled because of some events in the family that made me not be able to get there. And for the last couple years I was trying to get somewhere over east to hunt deer but none of that worked out either. Being the only hunter in the family (that lives in washintgon) I've had to try hard to start from scratch and find my own opportunities and learn on my own! I'm more determined than ever this year though and will be until i actually get out there!
And Kola, I actually may be up near arlington in the next few weeks for soccer. I don't know If I would be able to go bear hunting with you, but it's definetly a possibility and I'll talk to my parents and try to persuade them!

I don't hunt there but, I know there has to be a ton of deer up on Tiger Mountain. Can any of you guys point this young man in that direction? Tiger Mnt. and Cougar Mnt. are within spitting distance of Renton.
I know of the areas on the opposite side HWY 18 from Tiger mountain, and have looked at it a lot on maps and been up to the gates. Its not so much the finding a deer part of hunting that I'm worried about. its more the part that Im worried if I do shoot something that I'll be overwhelmed and not know what to do, potentially ruining the meat.

If Dale can get him in towards the end of the youth week, around the 19th or 20th, and we can get him there, I can get him home. I have a full truck going over the first part of the week but the kids are going home before me and I'm staying until the 19th or 20th
And if you could get me home, I can probably persuade my mom or someone else to get me over there.

I PM'd Dale. We'll see what he says. I can definitely get him home that weekend with no problem. And if Dale shows him how to gut, and I show him how to butcher, he should be all set going forward.
Follow the how to bone out a deer tutorial on the deer hunting page. I did and it was fairly simple with no trips to the butcher :IBCOOL:

Dale's probably in bed right now but I have about 4 PM's to him. I should know by the morning how this will all shake out.
We've had a housefull of relatives all week. Was playing poker till late-late. :chuckle:
Here's my post in the other topic:

The youth hunt is Oct 19-22 here, so if someone could help him get here and back home, we'll take him while he is here. There is a shuttle that runs from Spokane to Colville, he could ride that from Spokane to Colville and back for about $40 or $50.

I was hoping to head that way the 16th or 17th. But I could go as late as early on the 18th. I've got a place in Elk but I think I can get you Colville.
I would need signed approval from your folks and I'd like to meet you and them before we go.

If you feel so inclined PM me your mailing address and full name. I have a $25 Cabelas gift card I would like to contribute to your hunt. Use it for some last minute deer slaying gizmo that you may find yourself in need of. No strings attached.

maybe we should start a mentors program threw HW..I always wanted to do something like that ... we have members all over the state so when one kid wants to go hunting we should not have problem finding people to take them out ... :dunno: I used to take alot of kids out back when my kids were little but now they have grown I have not done any ...
That's a thought :yeah:

I agree. If we could get a sub forum linked to the youth forum started, I have some connections I could even get adds into the media and maybe we could get a few kids like Mr User where nobody in the family hunts but they want to try. No better way to turn anti hunters into pro hunters than to take them hunting or, at least take their kids hunting :chuckle:
:yeah: Let them shoot the most awesome gun you have, and they will be hooked :chuckle:

I know when I took my daughter through hunter safety last year they were real happy to see all the youth signed up and even happier with all the females in the class. They like female hunters because apparently statisticly women vote more than men so they want female sportsman to understand the facts about hunting and be informed when voting.
Post by: mr user on November 05, 2012, 02:42:25 PM
That is too bad, was it the young hunter's decision to not go through with it, maybe school conflict?Not my decision not to go through with it. It ended up that a parent was not able to stay with me for the weekend.
