My son and I have burned our bear tags. We only half assed it this year though. Any luck lining anything up for deer?doublej you still got a month of hunting left dont burn that tag yet :dunno:
Post by: JimmyHoffa on October 09, 2011, 01:31:29 PM
Well there goes that plan then LOL. Is anyone still going out for bear? I've got a tag burning a hole in my pocket...Still a few out for bear. The longer you wait until the end of the season, the furrier and fatter they get. Plus, by getting a bear in the colder weather less likely to lose meat. I'm not familiar with your area so can't say I know of places there for bears.

Looking to months from now/next season here, I'm in the process of getting a longer barrel with chokes for my shotgun. Once that's taken care of I'd love to try my hand at waterfowl and turkey hunting. I would love to find someone to be my mentor to take me under their wing :chuckle: The barrel is 28" with a 3" chamber and interchangeable chokes.. is that suitable for these activities?yep yep, but when your turkey huntn your gonna want some heavy loads, turkey can be pretty tough, even duck huntn i shoot a 3 in mag with 4 shot, and i alwaya have a few bb shot just in case the geese come flyn in.. you might pm sakoshooter he is a little busted up right now but he has all the permission he wants to duck hunt my property, and he has the best dogs ive ever seen...

If you already have a short barrel, that will work for turkey. 28" will be good for the ducks/geese. Check out the turkey thread. Lots of good information in there. Ping me if you have any questions. I'm a turkey junkey.

Hello....I am in the same boat. I have always wanted to hunt but never really knew anyone that hunts. I have not taken my hunters safety course yet but would like to start talking to people to mentor me and help me begin getting all the proper equipment! I am super excited and willing to drive. I am in the TricCities:)You could get the one year hunter's ed deferrment and still go hunting this season. It might help if you list what types of hunting (deer/elk/high country/bird/road/archery) you are wanting to try.

That's a perfect size gun for waterfowl. Are you still looking for someone to go with? I just recently started looking for people to go with because I'd like to go every weekend if i could, but my dad can't always go with me. Oh ya, i have a truck. :)

I'd be willing to take you hunting. What are you looking to hunt? I hunt waterfowl, over in easter Washington. You should let me know once you've taken the course and we can talk about possibly going on hunt.

@kendawg2485: I'm always looking for hunting partners! I'm still scraping the last of the money together for the barrel, but hopefully I will have that soon. I already have a set of waders, hooray! Even though I've never been I get the feeling I'll want to go as much as I can!
Post by: kendawg2485 on November 04, 2011, 11:37:36 AM
@TacomaHunter: I already have a pass for JBLM, I just don't really know what areas out there are any good for deer. Are you planning on going there at all for late season?

Ok, that's cool. I'm new the game as far as looking for people to hunt with. I've always hunted with my dad and his friends, but they don't go as much as i'd like to. I would like to go as many weekends as I can until the end of the season. Having waders is a good thing. Lol! If you ever decide you might want to meet up with me sometime to go, I have 2 extra guns to choose from if you'd like to use one. If your interested, shoot me an email with more info and maybe we can get together. :)
