Title: Washington newby needing some HELP
Post by: pse360 on May 24, 2012, 12:21:10 PM: Hey Guys,
I am an avid bowhunter and sportsman, I grew up hunting whitetails in GA and all throughout the southeast. My dream is to kill an elk with my bow and has been ever since I can remember. I am in the Air Force and live in Tenino, WA. Just looking for any sort of tips on where to go and where the public land around here is. I know there is land on post but it doesnt seem to hold many elk. The laws and regs are def. something else up here, so when I finally do find out where some public land is what all will I have to do, is it sign in or basically pull off the side of the road and head in? Any info would be be great. Thanks guys.
Codi

Depending on exactly where your place is, you're only 8 miles away from elk country.

Welcome to the state, thanks for your service. Good luck sticking your elk.
