Basics of Hunting Washington (Beginner Walkthrough) | 2021 Big Game Edition

[@michaelpool5929]

Well done. This type of content is vital to sustaining our ability to hunt in the future. There are less and less young people taking up hunting. In Oregon, there are groups trying to get a ban on hunting and fishing placed on the ballot for citizens to vote on. I am 62, with over 50 years of fishing and hunting memories, with more to come. I appreciate you sir, for your willingness and ability to share your knowledge with us all. Keep it up.

man, i wish there was a way i can download all that knowledge and experience you have as a hunter. lol its a skillset i've been trying to learn but just can't find the time or know the right people to get started.

Same with Washington, so I’m glad that my parents started taking me hunting when I was younger

[@zach3305]

"Less and less hunters" this just doesnt add up... Public lands are more crowded than ever before.... Hunt quietly

[@rtv278]

Thanks! Super helpful for people like me who is interested in learning how to hunt but has no idea where to start

[@intuitivefugitive8852]

Brother I’m making a channel dedicated to hunting. I’m new but nonetheless fascinated with the topic. I live in the South so black bears weighing up to 880lbs max but normally 4-500 lbs are what I’m aiming for. If it’s not 400 I won’t even waste my only bear tag on it

[@magadonaldtrump5473]

Samong is a great American 🇺🇸

[@jameswhite350]

I am 38 and doing my first hunting season now. I am in WA (western). I have always been around hunting being from Arkansas and Louisiana but never had time (as an adult) or money (as a youth). 1 thing I can't find a video about is simply using Public Land. How to access it. Types of public land and how to access each. When to move into the hunting areas, and how to move into them in difficult terrain in those morning hours. This stuff may be too much, but a video on this would help me a ton for sure. I have been inspired and have learned a ton from your channel. Thanks for the content!

[@Toxyethanol]

Hey buddy, thanks for making this! I just completed my hunter safety course and picked up a meat-eater edition weatherby. Was looking for some noob-hunter info and you answered a bunch of questions, well done!

[@adamknudtsen8621]

You rock brother. So many other channels talk so vaguely about learning to hunt. I love how in depth you go in your informative videos and gear reviews. You are definitely my favorite outdoor channel.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Glad it helps!

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Past few years there's been an immense amount of Washington people coming into Idaho. There's so many of them that I questioned if they even had a hunting season in Washington.

Great video, man. I've been hunting WA my whole life and feel very familiar with how this state works and I still took some takeaways from this video. Nice work!

This is good stuff!! Thank you! I’ve got the late adult onset hunting desire and this made me feel 100% better about pursuing it. Love your channel.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Man, This was such a huge help!! I was born in Washington state (tri cities), but raised in Vegas and I’m wanting to learn how to get into the hunting world. Thank you for this video.

[@MrDan1509]

Man......you made a great call. The Tri-Cities is turning into Yakima. Crime is through the roof and the police are not like they use to be, only Richland is taking a stance on the issue. They just busted the street racing crowd last week but Pasco or Kennewick won't do a thing about it. Lol.

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! Also I’m not sure if you mentioned it or not but offline maps in onX is also very handy! Uses a lot of storage space when downloaded in high quality but when you’re out in the middle of nowhere with no service, it’s clutch!

Wow down in Texas I hunt white tail with .223 all the time. I've killed like 50 deer in the last decade without any issue. My dad has used 30.06 for the last 60 years and at least once a year has to go track his deer down after hitting it. I have never had to walk more than 20 feet or so from where it was standing when I shot it.

Perfect timing for this video, I was just arguing with my Brother about hunting in Washington State. I stated I couldn’t wait to use my “ Aero Precision AR10 308 “ to get an Elk this year “ My brother stated “ You can’t use an AR to hunt, you have to use a Bolt Action, Black Powder or Bow Now because of I-1639 “

Do a video on what to do if you shoot a cougar in Washington. I don't think anybody has made that video. Just go over the logistics of how to be compliant with the rules, another one would be what to do if you shoot an elk with hoof rot or a deer with cwd fingers crossed that doesn't come to Washington but it might

It was definitely difrent then just getting a bear tag so I was not expecting all the questions what wair and with what lol .thanks for the vid looking forward to you and your family throwing up some good vids this year thanks to you all

First time hunter this year. But I'm going archery. It'd be dope if you did the same video except with archery regulations. Regardless, very informative video.

[@SamongOutdoors]

The only thing you need to read up would be the regulations regarding archery equipment instead of rifle equipment. The Table of Contents should have a Hunting Equipments page that will lay the regs for archery. Also, just need to look at the seasons for archery instead of rifle.

[@mopardoctor9966]

Washington’s tag point system is totally biased against out of state hunters. Who is going to spend $900+ every year only to not get drawn for a special permit and just get another point. The Teanaway unit point average is 22 and gets bumped higher every year for elk.

[@SamongOutdoors]

Not just out of state hunters, even residents get scammed lol

Well done sir. Really helpful video content. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I am just a new hunter and this will be my first time hunting season. I just have one question, in your hunting experience what specific GMU number can you recommend for deer hunting in Eastern Washington that has a potential high chance of harvest success and that can also be easily accessible for a NON- 4x4 vehicle. Thank you

In Michigan where I am from you can bow hunt through rifle and muzzle loader seasons. Is that the same in Washington I couldn’t get clarification on it. Moved to Washington this past year and trying to get these regulations down.

[@KurlandHickory]

This is such a great video. You did a better job explaining the rules than WDFW ever could. Those dumbasses couldn't run a good game department if it hit them on the head. If it wasn't for family I'd already be out of here!

[@madtownangler]

In Wisconsin you have to take a hunters education course if you were born after 1973. I was born in 1972 so I got lucky. But..... When I started deer hunting you had to have a hunters education course If you wanted to hunt before you were in high school so I took it with my dad and when I graduated I got an automatic doe and buck tag of which I could shoot one of the two. So basically the first year you could shoot either or to hopefully get a deer no matter what. I also see that a 3 point deer is what we call a 4 pointer here.

[@nickgg2590]

So if I want to buy a permit for public access, I’d I heard you correctly, I just contact the local biologist?

[@laithal-mansuri9003]

Hey man, i’d love to hunt with you. Or even just tag along and leave my rifle at home to gain experience. This is my 3rd year trying to get something and still no luck. Put in over 80 miles last year on feet and more from the vehicle. Not sure if you’d be into that. But if so let me know!

[@Terpedup925]

If I’m bow hunting for the first time, do I need to do the hunter Ed course and the bow hunting Ed course? And if I live in California, will that hunter Ed course work for other states ?

[@SamongOutdoors]

Washington only requires the Hunter Ed course. The bowhunting course is not required in Washington. And yes, if you already took and passed a hunter ed course in California, it will qualify for most states including Washington.

[@ft8619]

Is there any chance that I could go on a journey with you? Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or anything I'll be up for it. Thank you! Fong

[@mopardoctor9966]

What about the multi season permits? Can you hunt any weapon any season?

[@SamongOutdoors]

If you are successful with a multi-season permit, you must purchase the multi-season tag for deer and/or elk depending on which tag you got drawn for. The multi-season deer tag is $140 and the multi-season elk tag is $182. You cannot use your general deer or elk tag if you drew multi-season hunts. Once you do this then yes, you are allowed to hunt all three general season hunts which include archery, muzzleloader, and rifle seasons. Keep in mind, weapon restrictions are still in place. For example, you can't use a rifle during archery season. You must use the appropriate weaponry for that particular season.

[@trevorgomez3343]

Nothing wrong with a 30-30. The calibers he mentioned all excell over 30-30 past 150 yards, they pack more down range energy, and are overall better choices for deer, elk, black bear and cougar. The 30-30 is still a great round.
