I appreciate all the replys and advice. I notice many of you talk about the high cost of WA tags. Most other states, I'd be a non res in all of them, are a higher cost. Is it that you feel the reward isn't worth the cost? If I'm being honest, when I hunt MT or WY or CO or others, I'm paying...

If I may jump into this thread that has been allowed to retire(see what I did there?), I have a step daughter that now lives in Seattle. This means I'll be joining my wife to visit her occasionally. I've been archery hunting elk in various western states but OR and WA have been a bit too far...
I drew a general unit tag and will be archery hunting come Sept. Thought I'd pack my fly rod and if I have down time might try my luck in a pretty stream. Any suggestions for a newby fly fisherman?

Been using a trophyline for several years now. I like it for comfort and mobility. It's light enough to hike in to find just about anyplace to hunt. It won't eliminate scouting, but you can set up quickly when an opportunity shows itself. I only hunt archery and have taken many whitetails...
Buckwalleye, if you don't mind my sliding into your thread, I'm currently planning the same for this sept (21). I've got 3pts and am looking for a fun archery diy or very inexpensive drop camp or similar hunt in WY. I'd like to take a decent (legal) bull 1st. But want to take home meat so cows...
Thanks Doc. You were one of the reasons I was able to enjoy my hunt. Thanks for all your help, direct and indirect.
I hope to come back again. The wife had a really hard time with me being off the grid for so long. The inreach helped but it'll take some time and lovin to get another adventure.;)
