Born and raised in Republic. We dislike all non local hunters pretty much equally. Doesn't matter if your from Spokane or Seattle.
This is a smart ass comment but true, one of my grandfathers was born and raised in Republic 1920's-1930's then moved to Spokane, fought in the big war and moved to the west side to be a salmon troller. I started hunting Republic in 1993, but had previously spent summers above Tonasket on my grandfathers (married into) family farm in the early 1970's to mid 1980's as well as hunted a bit there as a kid. My mother in-law lived in Republic from 1992-1998ish. Question, what makes a "local" does having family ties to the area not enough? I understand most live there for a reason and understand why because I would like to live there or SE AK in a small village or town to get away from the masses as well.
Sorry to thread jack but just had questions and wanted to air it out, little tongue in cheek, and actually wondering as well.
Washington born and raised and have fished and hunted just about every corner of it
