This time of year the blue (dusky) grouse are in the firs. The currants are gone as are the grasshoppers. When you clean them this time of year their crops are crammed with fir needles. Look for them up high in the dark timber. Be sure to check when the season ends.
Another option would be duck hunting. If someone could take you out jump shooting it would be a lot of fun, and that way you don't have to have a bunch of decoys. Besides, they're a lot easier to hit when they jump up off the water than when they are barreling by at 40 mph.
Be sure to put in for the draws for next year. That's coming up in January. Deer are not as hard as elk and you could easily draw your first year. Talk to everyone you can and you'll find hunters that are happy to help you.
Good luck. You'll have a blast (pun intended [laugh]).

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
