Title: 13yr old daughters first Elk tag.. Help??
Post by: cavemann on October 29, 2015, 09:52:18 AM: Looking for a spot to go on the West side. I'm looking for a decent walk in area we can take our time, glass and she can learn.. I'm not looking for the most animals, but a good experience not crazy with hunters. This might be a unicorn request, but thought I would throw it out there. We would leave out of Olympia or Puyallup all 3 nights.

It is her first time in the woods with her rifle, it is more about getting out than seeing a lot of animals.

Keeping the expectations low but still getting out when we can. We usually hunt the Lewis River unit, but can't get that much time away this year.
