Vets looking to get started hunting

[Red1]

So I was just kinda wondering if anyone could give some pointers on where to start looking to hunt, I've personally lived in Oregon all my life never got the chance to hunt, and I know a few other vets in the area looking four the chance to do some hunting. Unfortunately with all of us having physical limitations and mild disabilities makes scouting really hard especially if Washington is all new to us or me. I know their is groups out there but I tend to stay away from publicity after some of the issues with one of the biggest organizations and would rather build relationships with other locals in the area.

I'd love to help clear out coyotes or other pest for land owners having trouble.

Anyone have ideas? It's kind of a shot in the dark here.

Red ,
I have seen lots of coyotes and coyote sign when out for grouse in my neck of the woods.
Vancouver is a far piece from where I live and hunt ... but if you are ever up this way let me know.
Fairly easy access , lots of older logging roads to walk.
Happy to hunt with a fellow veteran ...

Thank you for your service Red!!

I live in SW Washington and I'm kinda in the same boat. Need to rely on other people for a place to hunt since I am fairly new to the area. Good luck with your search.

The hunting is prime in the urban and downtown areas...
but you're talking 'yotes, not hipster antifas wannabe LARP revolutionary neo-bolsheviks.

If you don't mind the drive, ID has very low prices on nonresident hunting and fishing for 40%+ disabled vets. You can get more info here:

Disabled Veterans Programs

Way better deal than anything WA offers us vets that are residents here, disabled or not.

Vancouver is a little tough. Most of the yotes are too close to town to shoot at.

If your looking at hunting deer, elk, bear, etc I would suggest looking at maps or going to the local forest service office and you can get maps on the cheap.

I'm a little in the same boat only not a Veteran.
Thank you guys for your service!!!!


I've been hunting the last few years and have seen jack squat other than a sea of orange. My best suggestion, go farther out. And if possible hike in a ways.

If it's easy to get to, more than likely there are a ton other hunters and no animals.
