    Have cancer. Going to Seattle for medical reasons. Fishing? Hiking tidbits?

    Best of luck on beating the cancer, you've got a great attitude. There's lots of fishing opportunities, both salt and fresh water. I'm sure there are charters close to Seattle or on the Olympic peninsula for ling cod and halibut (ling opens May 1 here in the San Juans and halibut is open now 7...

    With one PP? Hope you're right. That would be great if I could hunt with my two sons one more time.

    Clay pigeons on pasture

    Between the lead and plastic wads I'm not sure I'd want livestock on it but the deer at my local little club don't seem to be bothered. And the club has been blasting clays since 1949.

    Grizzly Country Questions

    Biggest difference between black and griz is attitude. Don't expect a griz to run or be intimidated by you at all. They may run, but might just stare you down while deciding what to do with you. Avoid hunting alone if possible and listen to what your uncle says, sounds like he's got it figured...
