I'm not much of a deer hunter so I don't know if I could help you with that. If you want to get more info on the west side Elk hunting I can offer up some help there. I'm leaving to join a small Elk camp on Wednesday to finish out the early season. Are you interested in hunting Elk on the west side ?

Post by: Bean Counter on September 12, 2010, 05:03:32 AM: Hey guy that's very kind of you, thanks. After years of eeking it out on public land I have private land for both my Washington and Arizona hunts this year :IBCOOL:. Plus I get out quite a bit and know where plenty of animals are so I wouldn't want to waste such a generous offer.
