I'm fairly new to this site...from Maple Valley. A few weeks before deer season last year I tore up my shoulder and had surgery. Did it learning to shoot a compound bow. I was so depressed I went into hiding for a while. I just got my mount back from the 2005 season and all of a sudden I'm PUMPED! Can't wait until the coming season...it's on my mind constantly. Colville was very good to me in 2005. I'll post photos soon. Richard

Sledding must be great up on the Colockum! Been working so much that I haven't even been out yet. I will get over there sometime yet this winter.
Oh, yeah......How 'bout dem COUGS!

How much snow do you guys have? we have had total 3 inches this whole year. The weather here sucks!!! Either is 90 degree with 100 percent humidity or its cold with 30 mph winds.

Can't speak for the rest of the state, but we've had snow here on the wet side 4 different times with 2 of them sticking around for over a week or more. Not to mention record rain and windstorms. No ski area in the world has more snow right now than Mt Baker.

Not that anybody missed me but I've been out of the loop for the last two years. But I'm back and ready to stick something. I'm going to pull out all of my gear this weekend and go over it. I hope my bow made it through the move. I need to get out that and start driving the roads and walking the trails.

Happy Hunting

Naches ,wa

I'm looking to do some good hunting before I get out of the military. I'd like to hunt the big game tags (bear, cougar, deer, and Elk). Anyone have any places they'd be willing to share?

Might help if we know what part your thinking of hunting in? I can point you to some areas for elk here in central wash. if ya like.

Hope all is well in Washington state, I will be coming back there next Tuesday, can't wait to get away from the heat here in Maryland and Virginia, been in the high 90s for so long.

It has been in mid 80's to low 90's here in Tri-Cities area/ Has been cooling night at night. Which means hunting season is just around the corner.
