Hello all,
David here. I haven't been hunting in several years since i lost my hunting buddy, my older brother. I'm ready to get back to nature. We used to go deer hunting, but I've always had an interest in predator and varmint hunting. I currently live on Key Peninsula, Washington State. Maybe this venture will distract me from all the world troubles Hope this finds you well

Welcome to HNI! That peninsula looks pretty cool on Google's satellite view. Are you hunting there or elsewhere?

I didn't know people hunted much in western WA. Thought most of the hunting was in eastern WA.

There's plenty of hunting close to (and IN) the Olympic Mountains close by. The Key Peninsula where I live is kinda small and the only hunting is on private property, you have to get hooked up with the right people to get permissions. I'm hoping to hunt in the Olympics again, I am willing to drive to Eastern Washington if the proper opportunity comes around.

We have coyotes, deer, black bear and cougar in my neighborhood (cougar not very often). We do have Elk at higher elevations in the Olympics.

Key Peninsula in Washington State is known for its beautiful landscapes and wildlife, making it an excellent place for hunting. Since you have an interest in predator and varmint hunting, there are a few things you might want to keep in mind as you plan your venture.

Check Regulations: Before you start hunting, ensure you are aware of and adhere to all local and state hunting regulations. Familiarize yourself with the hunting seasons, required licenses, and any restrictions or special rules that apply to the specific type of hunting you want to do.

Choose the Right Gear: Depending on the type of predator or varmint hunting you plan to do, you may need different gear and equipment. Research the best firearms, optics, calls, and other gear that suit your needs and preferences.

Scout the Area: Spend some time scouting the hunting area to identify potential hotspots for the specific animals you want to target. Look for signs of their presence like tracks, droppings, or scat.

Safety First: Always prioritize safety while hunting. Make sure you are familiar with your firearm and practice responsible hunting practices.

Respect Wildlife and Nature: Remember to respect the environment and wildlife while hunting. Hunting is a way to connect with nature, and it's important to do so responsibly and ethically.

Share the Experience: If you find it too difficult to go alone, consider asking friends or family members who might be interested in joining you on your hunting trips. Sharing the experience can be enjoyable and provide an opportunity to bond with others.
