Title: New hunter looking for any help
Post by: MRhunter on October 25, 2013, 07:57:47 PM: Im a new hunter and im looking for any help out there. I know people are very private about honeyholes and favorite spots. im just looking for some guidance. I live in the duvall area and am looking at hunting near there or in north bend, tiger mountain. im open to driving further as well. I also got a westside elk tag (my mistake I think). looking for places that I could hunt elk on the westside. any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I went on a hunt on the eastside with a friend and learned a lot. saw a lot of deer and only a couple shooters. but didn't have a shot. just looking for land to hunt and maybe some places where deer are. this is my first year and im trying to fill my tag and my freezer.

Its going to require some leg work. ;)
Plenty of people on this forum will help you out, but it will help if they know your putting some work in.

I hunt deer mostly on East side so I'm not much help for knowing good spots that hold deer on the wet side. It can be pretty tough getting away from the crowds over here.
