I am originally from Montana and grew up hunting from 12 years old on up through College. I have had many successes with a rifle but mostly with big mule dear. I am now 41 and haven't hunted in WA because I have had to many responsibilities with work and family. To get to the point....I would like to go elk hunting around the Puget Sound area for meat. I didn't get a permit and don't know of a good place to increase my chances of success. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
