RE: heading to washington
Washington is a big place. . .if your on the west side of the Cascade range then expect very thick wet forest. If you are on the east side then you wil get to hunt a more open pine forest, a lot drier. compared to the east coast you will see some real mountains. I lived in Vancouver Wa. for a few years, the wet side.[:@]
I would bet your gonna hunt the north east. Let us know how you do . . . .
