Yeah, just think if he got word of this thread. There would be no living that down.......EVER! Man up and go get er done.
His son wont have much ground to stand on though. If you look st his post history, all of his 4 posts before this one were asking for help for his sons tag. Total of 5 posts on this website, and all 5 are "csn somebody tell me where to kill a buck because etc etc etc

Just a heads up....there is an ongoing thread on the main page...where to go, hunt swap, help etc. You might find some nuggets there or possibly find a landowner that needs something culled. If not, imo celebrate your sons success and dial it up a notch next year.

So what youre saying is youre not capable of getting a buck on your own, so you want a stranger to help you get a buck to prove to your son that youre a competent hunter? If you need to get a buck to get your "man card back" and prove yourself, shouldnt you do it on your own instead of begging strangers online to put you in front of a buck?
Please forgive me Bango. How foolish of me to think that a forum like this is where someone like myself that is newer to hunting, should come and ask advice / seek help? I should be here just spewing all of my knowledge of how, where and when to hunt so that others may have the great success I have had (1 for 5 in the last 7 years). In my post I was attempting a little humor and yes looking for some advice as I don't have the opportunity to take large amounts of time off to go scout areas, especially on the other side of the state from where I live. As others have pointed out, I have tried to raise my son right, showing him how to hunt, be responsible etc and I am SO proud of him for his effort to pass the hunters ED course, practice with his rifle where on day one he was scared and even cried to a few months later a 150ish yrd shot to get a deer. And as you know and pointed out after taking the time to dig into my previous posts here, I also asked for help with his hunt. I made him write and sign letters to some of the "hunt with written permission" folks including stamped return envelopes, I also made him write thank you letters and actually call the people on the phone that responded. Not an email, not a text, and actually written letter and phone call, both of which are a lost art with youth these days. By doing this I was showing him that as his father I was willing to help him if he needed it and was also willing to put in some effort, but he should also not be afraid to ask for help and as I am doing by looking for advice / help, not giving up. I guess that is something you don't agree with. Another thing I have taught him is to stand up for himself. If people are being a dick to him, let them know. They may just be dick's in general but they may also not be aware they are being a dick. Which one are you? In the meantime if anyone wants to know where, when not to go I can give you a ton of knowledge. Have a super day!

Exactly the kind of posts we don’t need here.

Sounds like you and yours are on the right track. :tup:
Agree wholeheartedly. Keep up the good work!

As for the OP. My only recommendation is get out in the woods and give it the best you got. There is no guaranteed success regardless of the advice you are given. I find my most rewarding hunts are the ones I rolled the dice on a new area and went in blind. Best of luck to you.

I too am under the assumption that this forum exists for outdoorsman to help each other out. If you don't want to help or offer advice then ignore the post. Why slam a guy for asking for help? If his request is out of line or offensive, he'll figure it out by the lack of or absence of responses. Trying to humiliate a guy who's humbled himself enough to ask for help doesn't seem right at all.Well stated. :twocents:

Good luck with your hunt.

I grew up hunting blacktail with moderate success, mostly still hinting. When I started hunting whitetail I took the same approach and was constantly bumping deer and seeing them with no good shot opportunity. So I would advise avoiding still hunting and set up a blind, and set it up so that your shot is a layup to build some confidence. Throw some alfalfa at ~50 yards with a good backdrop, and learn to be patient.
As far as spots near spokane, the easy access spots are going to be busy. I would look at fs ground farther north in 117 using onx. Find a grown in road, walk it in until you start seeing sign then start looking for an area that presents a reasonable shot to set your blind. Many people hunt clear-cuts, I think small natural openings get overlooked by most, and the deer in these areas see far less pressure.
Good luck. I was seeing scrapes all over this morning, Saturday morning should be busy

I also recieved your first post in a negative way, it appeared to me as someone seeking a handout.
I'm happy to see this isn't the case.
Good luck and get out there!

Spocompton?
It's a pet name many have for Spokane. Mix of Spokane and Compton or as others may know it, known as Spokanistan. Having lived a about 90 min south for 4yrs in my early 20's I know it gets a bad rap, and I would live around there if I could with my job.
