I'm new to hunting and am reading everything I can get my hands on. I'm wondering if it makes better sense to scout an area close by (about 1/2 hour) with greater hunting pressure but that I can scout regularly or to head further out (1-2 hours) but get much less scouting done.I'm a bowhunter looking at early season. I'm hoping that early archery will mitigate some of the hunting pressure. All opinions welcome.
I as well.am.looking for a hunting partner/tips on where to go for black tail/bear/elk, been poking around in 556, and pointers on where/terrain I need to look in/at?

Find the scat. Walk around a bunch youll find some rubs in there somewhere. Buy a couple of those 30 dollar tasco trail cameras and set them up on sunday and go back friday and see whats on them. Check the harvest reports on wdfw website for deer and bear. Tell u what youre up against. If you find some good berry patches up high you should be able to get a bear. If i did it anyone can.
