Looking for backcountry hunting partner or group

[egranning]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a fellow big game, primarily mule deer, backcountry hunting partner, or group. My partner for the last two seasons doesn't have the flexibility in his schedule this year, and possibly future years, to hunt.

For a bit of background, I'm originally from Michigan, where I hunted whitetail for around 10 years and got into backcountry mule deer hunting over the last 2 years after moving out here in 2017. I have extensive backpacking and hiking experience; so backcountry hunting is an ideal experience. This is mainly so I can get further away from road hunters, no offense to those individuals, just not the experience I want for myself. In the last two years, I hunted the greater Teanaway area but now I want to change it up after seeing to much pressure from hikers, dirt bikers, and other hunters.

I have e-scouted some areas on the Eastern side of the Cascades that I would like to scout in-person this summer so if you are interested feel free to personal message me or comment here and we can connect in your preferred way.

Looking forward to connecting!

Fellow former Michigander here Been in the state a few years and in Idaho before that. I caught the bug to hunt elk just before I moved to WA, however I don't have a huge amount of time at the moment to invest in it. So I might get my feet wet by doing some day hunts and working up my experience of hunting here. Maybe we could keep in mind something for the future? The high buck hunt looks like something I'd like to get into as well.
Cheers,
Andrew
