Finally signed up w/ Rokslide. Greatly appreciate all the content on the site and I've benefited for many years, hopefully over time I can pay that forward. Live in Enumclaw, have a day job, 3 kids, coach sports and my home hunting grounds are a lofty 15% success rate on deer---fortunate enough to know the guys who are punching tags every year and have learned a lot from them. I could write a book on learning the hard way from 20 years of screw ups. Typically take one out of state hunt per year in addition to hunting WA. Hope some of you got lucky in the WA draw this year 🍀 (I did not).

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new member.

Welcome. I'm just down the road near Maple Valley. Drew a cow tag for Eastern WA, first of any tag I've drawn in 7 years.

Welcome from a native Washingtonian. Don’t worry about the draw, none of us will ever draw anything premium when they have already dropped all the tag numbers to 1 tag per hunt code.

Nothing like ground pounding wet rainforest where elk success rates hover around 5% to teach patience!

truth!! builds character and when I get out to the rockies even the "down" units are a nice change of pace. And being able to see more than 15 yds

Lol we will see, I got tired of never drawing and put in for an easier tag to draw than I have been in the past. It's a blue mountains mule deer tag in November, should be an interesting hunt for sure.
