my year was ok so far... i hunted the rifle opener here for deer and saw alot of nice mature bucks but i did not wanna shoot any because i had a any whitetail special hunt in the sinlahekin valley... so i went this weekend and shot a big 4x5 whitetail... now i am going to focus on the elk hunt.. there is a damage hunt up here in sedro woolley for any elk so i am going to hopefully shoot one... best of luck to all of you on the rest of your hunts this year
