Title: Newbie Introduction
Post by: David Y on December 09, 2013, 05:09:16 PM: Hi folks,

I've been leering around this site off and on for the last year and finally decided it might be a good idea to introduce myself and get formally involved with Hunting Washington.

I have been a bird hunter since I was old enough to shoulder my first shotgun, an H&R Topper youth in 20ga. Mostly pheasants and quail on the east side and grouse on the west side. I even picked off some quail when I was a little kid with my BB gun and asked my dad to cook them for me!
Last year, I got my first duck, a ringneck and my second duck, a Green Wing Teal. My dad hated ducks so I had never hunted them until I met another hunter that enjoyed hunting ducks and he took me out there in the crap to bag some webbed feet critters. This year, I got my first Mallard drake - despite almost freezing my nuts off in the Moses Lake area last weekend.

I'd like to get into deer hunting, a buddy of mine is an avid deer hunter and is willing to show me the ropes, when I'm ready and willing… guess I need to start looking for a rifle… :chuckle:

I'm also into other outdoor activities like most of you likely are - fishing, camping, hiking, etc!

Anyway, I thought a brief introduction seemed like the right thing to do and this particular section seemed to be the most reasonable spot to post it.

David.

Being you have been around the site a while I am sure you have seen how great this place is and how from time to time we get off track a bit as well. Glad you are here congrats on the ducks, good luck with the addition of big game in the future.

I'm up in Arlington, I try to get out shooting up in Oso or Darrington once a week. I take a couple of handgunsand a couple of 22 rifles, occasionally a shotgun to shoot trap or a blackpowder pistol or rifle. I you'd like to get out shooting some time let me know and we can get out. I haven't been out hunting for some time now,but should get out next year.I wanted to try crow hunting, but the season closed down until next September. Something to look forward to, I bought a new Winchester SuperX3 for crow hunting a year & a half ago and never took it out of the box.
