The end of the rainbow. No pot-o-gold and appearantly no deer either.
 
This is on Rayonier private land looking out over the Hoko River towards Neah Bay.

I found some very similar instructions by searching google. The turn counts are exactly the same but there were some basic illustrations.
 
It is so refreshing to get that 25 pound lawyer out of there and not have to pull the trigger with 2 fingers.....

Good luck on the hunt.
 
Are you restricted to boys only? To me it would not make a difference with a little lean toward a cow first.

If you don't put in for some kind of drawing, you get only boy tags (I am talking about modern rifle only, I'd have to look up the regs on the others). Most of the other western states have a 'weighted lottery' system too and WA just adopted something similar.
 
Rayonier say they are keeping the gates open thru the end of elk (rifle) season. I may have to buy a tag.

Well the hunt is on. Rayonier opened up some gates to their private land out on the west end. Saw a couple of cow elk but nothing on a buck yet.

I worked for a company that made mortgage software, the down turn in the housing martket sealed their fate. Not too many companies buy software in a declining market. Now I work for an online travel company whose commercials end with a singing harmony of "Dot Com", not the silly little knome. (Though I think the knome commercials are funny).

Thats cool, I am not planning on going anywhere soon.
 
I just went thru a merger from December to June. And now I gots a new job. They employed the chainsaw management method to profitablitily. Its a hot job market now so no big deal.

Anyone interested for 2006? I'd perfer rifle but I also have a bow.

Updated for 2007. Didn't get one last year but it was not for a lack of trying.

[Heck, we should get together; I'm just down the road in Olympia.]

I am north coast between PA and Sequim. I have never heard of any turkeys around here but you'd think turkeys would adapt well to the drier conditions of the northeast corner.

That is the early season and deer is exactly the same. The late seasons match also. I have the 2005 rule book here on my desk.

In 2005, the general muzzleloader elk and deer seasons were the same dates so it would make sense to buy the deer tag 'just in case'. The dates for 2006 have yet to be published, as far as I can tell. These dates are due out by May15th, 2006 though.
 
Do you have any ideas where on the peninsula yet?

Anyone have any personal experience with one? General comments?
 
The purpose would be for general plinking, both youth and adult.
 
Some plus's I see:
 
Overal length about 29 inches with a 20 inch barrel.
 
Adjustable pull length.
 
Built in rails.
 
Some down issues:
 
10 rd mags.
 
Get the same thing by converting a 10-22.
 
Dedicated left or right hand use.

Are there many turkies in western washington? I've always been a deer/elk hunter. Not that I wouldn't want to give it a try...
 
This year I want to hunt the 3 point or better hunt buck season in Buckhorn wilderness, just to the east of Olympic NP, Mount Townsend area.

I was perusing a gun manufacturer's website and they list a smooth bore 22 rim fire.
 
Call me dense but can someone explain to me what purpose such a firearm would be useful for?
 
Thanks!

I have a Barska red dot on a mini 14. Works great as far as I have used it. I think I got my money's worth but of course, YMMV.
