I tend to spend lots of my time walking along hillsides, or sitting on my ass freezing with a Rem 700 in my hands trying to locat something brown and furry to shoot during the hunting season...


Does that count?

Deer Hunting is tough on the Wetside.

It can be tough but it's convenient.  If I'm unable to get a trip planned to the Eastside I want to find a place not too far away that I can hunt  on short notice.   I used to be able to bow or shotgun hunt close to my home but suburbia has pushed the deer into oncoming cars.

Are there any good access points (safe & free parking) in the Granite Falls, Mountain Loop, Darrington and/or Northwest WA?  I'd like to  start scouting now.  Area's requiring hiking and/or mountain biking too would be ideal.

In the Granite Falls area, have you done any checking out of the P5000 road? (off menzil lake rd)

There is the pilchuck tree farm also.

Now that my pussification is complete, I only hunt the east side.

I seem to have the same affliction that R-32 has.  

I also tend to see lots of grouse when I've got the '06 in my hands and lots of deer when I have the 12 gauge in my hand.

Isn't it legal to take grouse with a rifle?  Taking along a few plinker rounds would seem ideal for them.

In boy scouts we used to shoot a 00 buckshot ball pressed into a 30-06 case with a primer and a 22 shell scoop of Bullseye (might have been unique, but it's been 30+ years).  We'd shoot for hours in his back yard.  Pretty accurate too.  I've always thought it would be a good idea to take a few along but never have...  Quiet, acurate and a ton of fun.  I bet the scouts these days would have cow if the scouts actually shot guns...  I heard the "hunting" merit badge is really a photo hunt.

If I remmember right, you can, I think there is a 3 a day limit up to a total of 9 in your posession, and they can be hunted on a Big Game or a Small Game license.

I will have to go check out my Regs for this year. to be 100% sure
