Title: Late Season Whitetail Hunt in Chewuch
Post by: UWHunter on November 06, 2013, 10:09:46 AM: I'm new to the board and wanted to introduce myself. I have lived on the westside of the state all of my life (please don't judge) but have spent a lot of time on the eastside as both my parents were from Walla Walla and all of my extended family lives in Eastern WA. I'm married and have a 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son. So I don't get out as much as I would like. I recently became interested in hunting when last year my Grandfather had a stroke and passed his Winchester 270 on to me. I've always had an appreciation for the outdoors and the skill required to live off the land. I've had some great times listening to my Grandfathers hunting stories and hope to create some of my own to pass down to my family.

I was fortunate this year to draw a late season whitetail tag and am really excited to get up and take my first buck (even if its no monster). I would appreciate and whitetail advice as I've only hunted in the past for mule deer (albeit no success). I'm not looking for anybody's honeyholes or special spots. Just general advice or a jumping off spot. I'm heading up in a week and hope to post a picture of a buck when I return. Thanks for any guidance and I look forward to contributing to the board going forward.
