Well, being the hunting fanatic that I am, I've been thinking constantly of next year. I have some ideas I'm throwin around... Here they are, and I want your guy's opinions on them. BTW, I'm in Wenatchee WA.
I'm 17 years old, and next year will be a Senior in HS. I've rifle hunted with my Dad since I was 11. I've only killed one deer, but got an elk, and a bear this year as well.
I'm thinking of going to archery next year. The reason I'm wanting to do this is the season runs from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30. I don't start school until Sept. 22 so this would allow me the first three weeks to hunt as much as I liked. However, I would have to give up the rifle hunt with my Dad. I then could also be more effective in my summer scouting.
If I did go archery, I could still "guide" my Dad during the general season to see if I can get him a buck. Plus we'll have elk hunting as well.
So, should I go for it? Or should I wait? Thanks guys.
