Title: Looking for a Backcountry partner.
Post by: E35alex on March 02, 2018, 11:30:59 AM: Here's the ad :chuckle:

I'm a 32 year old who loves elk hunting. There's nothing else like hunting elk. I've been hunting the east side the last couple of years. Switch to west side last year. Found a place to hunt. Scouted it. Liked it. The problem is, its a hike from the truck. 3-7 miles is the norm. I'm looking for someone who is really serious about elk. Like to spend time in the elk woods. Scout for elk. Hang cameras. Etc. Oh, I hunt archery only. Planning on getting out to scout as soon as the snow melts a little.

Let me know if your interested.

I'm a member at Skookum in Puyallup and I am a very frequent flier. I do pretty much all the shoots, in the winter league now, and I've met folks. The smallish issue, that the guys who hunt backcountry have a buddy or two they hunt with. Hence the search. Already met a few guys on here that I think I that we hit it off pretty good. Time will tell.

Thank you for the suggestion and thank you to everyone that reached out! Really appreciate it.
