I'm interested in modern firearms hunting for Deer/Elk especially, but interested in bear, cougar, coyote, etc. I have a Ruger 3006 and still building my outfitter list and collecting additional firearms for various hunts. Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated and I promise to pay it back and forward.
Thanks,

So my family and I are reconnecting with our love of nature/hunting/fishing. My kids are still a little young, but I'd like to really get into hunting and not just "show up on opening day looking for an easy deer." I was thinking now would be a good time to start scouting, outfitting, researching, etc. While I haven't hunted much recently (outside of our hog/turkey hunting in Texas) I did grow up in Montana with a hunting family and after high school I was active duty U.S. Army back in the mid-90's. Not growing up in Washington though, I'm still trying to get caught up on all of the rules/laws/places to go etc. I'm doing my "homework" researching this site (what a great resource!), reading the WA regs, checking out maps, etc. but don't really feel confident just to hop out of the car on my own and start shooting at things, ya know? Any help, mentoring, partnering, etc. would be much appreciated.

According to your profile you live in battleground? if so that's not a bad unit it just tends to be a little crowded. also its a Shotgun/Bow/Muzzy unit only last time I checked. Washington will be different hunting that in Montana or Texas, no real long shots and its thick as hell in some places. I'm trying to put a hunting group together being I'm hunting here this year and I live not too far from battleground. if all go to plan I could always use another hunting partner. ill let you know if it all pans out how I would like.

Yup, in Battle Ground, looks like you're in Woodland? (about a 15-20 min drive from my house). I'd appreciate being kept in mind for this. I figure I'll have to drive a ways outside of the area if for no other reason than to get away from the city, but I'm willing to go where's reasonable.
