Hi MTN Tough. I'm a new member to the MTN tough community and just wanted to reach out. I recently retired from the Navy in November 2022, and I am looking to get into back country hunting. I grew up in Chinook, MT hunting deer, and occasionally joining my family on elk hunts at the Missouri River breaks.

I currently live in Washington State, and I'm a full time graduate student in Physician Assistant. Just looking to reach out and connect with like minded people, in the MTN tough community to talk hunting, and maybe even look for a Hunting partner that would want to hunt somewhere in the Washington State/Oregon area during general archery season.

Love this community!

Cheers!
Jon Solonar

Hey, I just joined mtn tough as well. I’m excited for the opportunity to learn and work with the people in this community and start doing more difficult things.

Where are you in general in WA state? I’m in northwestern Oregon and was thinking about doing a muzzle loader hunt in western Washington this fall. I’ve been archery hunting Oregon for about 7 years now and looking to branch out.
