Colville Safeway, no box stores in Kettle Falls unless you count a Harvest Foods

There is a good german bakery though, the real thing too.  The gal has german roots and studied baking in germany for a good number of years.

Some of the funest turkey hunting I ever did was in the Asotin area. Asotin wildlife area and Cheif Joseph wildlife area. Very nice country.

Having said that I have spent some Time tring to kill one around Kettle Falls. Try Sherman Creek Wildlife Area.

First year I went I went the opener. Snowed every day. Never saw a bird.
It seems like if it rains  hard they are silent for a couple days afterwards.
Makes it tough.
I only hunt public lands.

Good luck

We are waiting till May his year. Went in May last year had a good time but still rained for two days. Spent one night in my buddies truck stuck in the mud.

Ahhhhhhh the stories

Ah ya - the trademark of a coastie. 

Drive a big jacked up rig with huge tires and get em stuck in the middle of a nice road. 
I could get a Chevy Luv on 14 inch tires through and not scratch a tire but noooo.....not a coastie


damm coasties  :chuckle:

This guy must be a transplant Northeastie because he got two wreckers stuck on the same road with winches on both ends of the trucks. Darn Northeasties.

I've seen those trucks around, but I couldn't tell you who it is, I've never had to be towed out.


They must make their living towing out coasties  :dunno:

They show up to a stuck coastie in need, pretend to get stuck themselves, and leave the coasties up a muddy road without a tow and still soak em for 300 bones.....I got that right?

Yep
But it is more like taking pity on him. He wanted over a $1000.00 and he never got with in 100 yards of us. We jacked it up with a highlift the next day and got ourselves out. With the help of the nice gentleman I mentioned.
He was stuck alright, took him 2 hours or more to get his truck out with another wrecker. Really didn't have to pay him a thing but felt sorry for the poor Northeastie.

And yep having fun. But it's bed time.

It is all in good fun. Gotta jab a little bit. I am long past the time that I cared what others thought of me.  I understand the coastie thing. We get the same thing here during Tulip Festivial. You dont have to be hunting to run into folks that don't have a clue. And some of these folks that invade us just like the Northeast are complete dumb as.............

But we are getting close to hijacking this thread if we havent already. KF if you see a fat guy walking around with a ghost on his back comon over I will buy you one.
Be over in May.

To the OP I give this advice (I have never killed a bird) If the hunt is as important as the kill, if you are not a road hunter, if you are planing to hunt public lands, and you want to try to call them in rather than bushwack them. Go Later, skip the opener.
Far less hunters and a overall better time.  :twocents: Not sure its worth  :twocents:

You guys don't get me wrong, I'm just having a little fun and sure don't mean any harm by it  :chuckle:

I actually like the "coasties" and I don't mean it as a dirty word or insult, I got better words for that  ;)

 For the record I welcome of the out of area hunters who bring much needed revenue to the local motels, restraunts, guides etc.  I chat em up at the gas stations, or at Sandy's if I sneak over for some breakfast.  I'll ask em if they're having any luck and if they're friendly (they always are) I'll offer up some advice if they seem like they need it. 

No, I got no ill will towards those from the west side of the state.   


If we can't poke a little harmless fun then what the hell  :dunno:
