I’d definitely enjoy doing both of those, I need to get a pole and don’t own a bow either though : /
fortunately, poles are pretty easy get cheapish. i got a pretty nice used one for $25, and I see them at thrift stores all the time. tackle is a little different, but not too bad.
Clicketyclack, if you want to get into archery, I have several bows. I’m gonna try to drag two of them out to the peninsula with me in August as long as I get my hands on some arrows first. You’re totally welcome to come out and shoot, you too Fen. Only thing is I don’t want to bring out my longbow cuz it’s still not finished yet, both of my other ones only have 35lb. draws. They’re fun for shooting all day, but they’re not good hunting bow practice. Also, you can fish in the park by the land without a permit, so bring out that pole!
Hey Seattleites!
What would be a fun thing to do over the next week?

Seward Park. Discovery Park. The Arboretum. Get out of the city! 
Really though, what are you looking for?
Ideas!
Personally, I would like to try to set up rabbit snares/traps in the Arboretum or Discovery Park. That’s one of my goals for this summer… to kill a rabbit.
But maybe there is a consensus we can reach on what to do as a group.

i’d love to be in on that. unfortunately (sort of), i won’t be back in seattle for around a week to be able to participate. but heck, if a rabbit gets trapped right before i get back, i’d love to be around for a processing session.
rabbit snaring in the park up on the bluff would make me smile. I’m a little East and a little swamped, but I’d love to hear a story about this happening.
How about Monday? Anyone up for Monday afternoon?
Or is a weekend better? Like Saturday the 16th?
I’ve gotta go do some research!!

I could do saturday the 16th.
I would love to but I plan on heading out of town for the weekend
That sounds fun. I’ve got some snare wire around here somewhere… I could do the 16th.
OK, I’m going to throw out a time and place… how about Discovery Park at 1 pm on Saturday?
Everyone who is interested, please let me know if that’s good or if another plan works better for you.
sounds good to me.
of course this shit has to happen again when I’m around to enjoy it sometime too!
Fly away, little birdie! Go start your own rewilding club on the OP or some other hellhole like that.
;D 8)
(I’m just jealous is all…)
You better watch it! I’ll be back before you know it, and I’m gonna get you, and your little club too!

having never been to Discovery Park, you got a good meeting place in mind?
How about at the visitor’s center? 3801 West Government Way. I know that buslines 33 and 24 (and maybe some more as well) will get you close to that address.
And anyone who wants to be extra sure can PM me for my cell number.
