One of my favorite aspects of hunting is being able to harvest mushrooms as I explore and hunt for big game throughout western Washington.
Chanterelles are some of the best-tasting and widely available fall mushrooms with a season that can go from September all the way into December depending on where you are.
You need to know about the big changes to the 2021-2022 Washington coast steelhead recently announced by WDFW.
Screw 2020 and all even years! 2021 is another glorious odd year and that means hordes of Pink Salmon returning to the Puget Sound and the rivers.
While we’ve had some challenging steelhead restrictions to deal with this winter steelhead season, the opportunity still exists to hook into a winter chrome bolt of energy.
We are only a couple of weeks into 2021 and the early winter steelhead season is winding down already. I like to think of the winter steelhead season as broken down into thirds: Early, middle, and late.
This is my first year hunting elk in Western Washington, but I’m learning a lot and putting in the time to climb the elk hunting learning curve quickly. I wanted to share this, not from the perspective of an expert, but from the perspective of someone seeing elk hunting fresh, which means if you to are trying to get into elk hunting, my learning journey could be valuable to you as well.
Every year a group of friends and I head to the Olympic Peninsula to experience some of the most epic salmon fishing in the entire Pacific Northwest. Every year gives you a different curve ball, but we always find the fish and have an incredible experience and 2020 was no exception.
The beaches north of Grays Harbor such as Ocean Shores and further north to Copalis are incredible places to explore, hike, and experience.

Mt Rainier National Park is a must-visit destination within the Pacific Northwest.
We had an incredible experience camping at Elkamp (recently renamed from Eastcreek Campground just south of Elbe. We spent some time in Mt Rainier National Park to do some sightseeing and hiking, but also just relaxed and explored around the campground. Elkamp was an excellent, well-maintained private campground that we will definitely be returning to in the future.
Sekiu (pronounced CQ) has been on fire since it opened on July 1st, 2020. My friend who went fishing with me on the opener said it was the best salmon fishing he’s ever experienced.
I’m seeing multiple people with full limits by 9 am in the morning. That’s 6 kings for 3 people by 9 am…
