Sullie,

A damn good place for bowhunting deer (especially your first bowhunt) is up in Wynoochee, above Montesano. I took a number of deer out of there over the years...mostly does and spikes.

What kind of gear are you shooting? Traditional (recurve or longbow) or some of that new age rocket bow technology?

Drop me a PM with your # and I'll be glad to share what I can.

Mike
