Title: NEED HELP HUNTING EASTERNS !!!!
Post by: GregU on March 22, 2009, 09:28:01 PM
I am looking for someone who would show me a good spot to hunt easterns. I have harvested a rio and several merriams, however to date I have walked and driven tons of miles (every year for the past 3) with out so much as seeing sign.  :yike:

If someone would be willing to show me a good eastern spot, I would be willing to show them my honey hole for merriams.

Please help!!!! I only need one eastern and then i'm never gonna hunt that side of the mountains again!!!!!

well I'm a security guard, an army vet, a college student, and a father of 2. I enjoy fishing, clamming, and hunting and just about any thing to do with the outdoors. I have been hunting birds since I was 10 and started hunting turkey and big game when I got back from Iraq in 05. My wife says I hunt way too much...LOL!!!! I am a member of DU, PF, QF, NWTF, and HH, but can never attend the meetings due to the odd hours I work and to college. Oh yeah I'm a MH for the state.

I also enjoy long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, quiet conversations..... kidding  :P

what's an MH though?

and Greg, check out the thread titled "Easterns" I've been really fighting these things too but guys have given me a lot of pointers in that thread about how to hunt them, and where to look. They are different creatures.

Dustin07,
if your interested in the MH you have until the end of the month to put in for your package. and then have a year to complete it. the course is challenging and about historically about 10-25% of applicants pass the course. But it sure teaches a lot of knowledge. I would strongly encourage you to enroll. theMH have done alot in the last couple of years to further hunter-landowner relations in the state

I've read up on the wdfw site about it and have thought a lot about it. I may still drop an application in the mail. I have it printed already (about a month ago) with a blank check on it... but it is a big commitment and i don't want to start unles I know I can finish. My brother gets home from Iraq today thoughs, so maybe if he's interested in doing it with me it would be easier. We've talked about it for years.
