Well i found out from you from a guy in the realtree forums and i was trying to look for people like myself who are also from washington and hunt deer on public lands and possibly even in the wilderness land. I have hunted deer with a rifle for the past 6 or 7 years and i really need to move on away from this farm i go to it is a real circus sometimes up there. But i have been lookin into bow hunting and or rifle hunting in the wilderness areas in the central and north central washington. Where do you hunt? How long have you hunted with a bow and do you prefer it over a rifle? I have lots more questions but i just wanted to put myself out there to meet you by the way my name is tom and i hunt the south east corner of washington by the tucannon area.
