Title: New Muzzleloader Hunter
Post by: mat11281 on October 04, 2011, 08:43:23 AM: Hello All,

I'm a new hunter in WA. I've been up here for 2 years and this is the 1st year that I am able to go hunting. The GMUs that I've hunted so far are 652, 666, and 663.

I'm just looking for general tips on what to do. I haven't hunted since 1998 before I joined the Air Force and that was back home in Indiana. There is a huge difference!

Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Tips for what to do, thats can be interpited many ways. the best thing to do is get into the woods and hunt. If you hunting muzzle I would choose a either sex area and go shoot the first legal deer you see. :tup:

Hunt the clear cuts early and late and hit the thick stuff during the day. Just my opinion but I am still trying to find an area that is consistently good. Good luck
