Welcome aboard Cavguy. I don't know which part of the NW you are moving to, but let me just say that Oregon has everything an outdoorsman could want, including some terriffic hunting. In no particular order for archery opportunities we have: Rocky Mtn and Roosevelt Elk, Whitetail, mule, and blacktail deer, pronghorn, cougars (lots), bears (lots and lots). And that is just the big game. The seasons are generous and the terrain goes from temperate rain forrest to high dessert, with all things in between. Washington is about the same, just a bit further north. Have a great move!!!!
