Up here in Washington we got deer, grouse, rabbit and doves opening tomorrow. When does everybody else get started? When is the first day that you're heading out?

I'll be sitting in my stand Friday after work for deer and then taking the dog out Sat to chase some grouse, then back in the stand on Sunday.

Until Jan 1. Unlimited bucks, 8 doe tags a year, unless you get them on an either sex day which is about 3 Saturdays a month and you don't have to use your tag.

One of our senators just introduced a piece of legislation though, that will limit the bucks to 4 and the does to 4 if it makes it through the wildlife committee. it's already passed the senate. There are going to be some pissed off rednecks around here.

We are over run with deer. They're are everywhere, literally. I think research has shown a slight decline in numbers and thus the reason for the new legislation. If it passes.

But yea, we have a long season and pretty much kill as many as you want. We have a lot of out of states groups that lease huge tracts of land here so they can come down and hunt. We don't have big deer, just lots of them. A big buck here is 180-200 lbs. Anything over that is a monster around here.

THere are. They are scattered around the state, called WMA land (Wildlife management Area). They are actually private lands that individuals have allowed the state to use as public hunting grounds. There are some really nice ones too. You just have to get out there early.

The only problem I've found with WMA's is you have to park at a front gate area and either walk in on foot or bike in and some of these places are huge. Then if you do kill something, you've got to drag it out of there. You need a cart of some sort in the truck that you can retrieve in case you score.

Dove opens here tomorrow. I don't get too turned up about it. I'll probably shoot some one or two times at most. My season doesn't open till mid November and I don't get ramped up really till early December.

That's pretty normal for doves isn't it?
Yep but I had talked nine miles of shit about how I was going to win the whole shooting match. I got paired with the D.A. and he kept me laughing at funny stories about criminals.
