Ritzville Late Rifle Buck Tag - Help Needed

[scottfrick]

Why would you put in for an area that has very limited access
Unless you have a place you know you can hunt? This is the reason the farmers in the Palouse are sick of the wet side guys among other reasons! 
Good luck. Hope it works out for you.

Why is it any of your business? He can put his points towards any hunts he wants to. There is public land.... not much but there is. I drew the tag when I was younger and had no problem getting my buck....

Sounds to me like a couple of people on here are upset they didn't draw a tag or you got there's. To the hunter go find land and kill a big one and make sure you post the pic's of it...

I hope you arent referring to my post. I am not upset at all. I was just pointing out that it os becoming a problem. I know alot of landowners (none in this particular unit) and i get permission from the landowners i know, but in the unit i live in if you draw one of rhe late tags and dont know any of the landowners in this unit you will not get permission from 98% of them. So with that being said some people are taking hunting opportunities away from others

Not really much options in the buck catrgory if you want to hunt mulies with rifle.

Congrats on that tag. I would love to pull that rut tag. I'm sure there are some dandies that start cruising for does in Nov that we don't see in mid Oct. I'm sure you will be able to secure some land in the unit. Start knocking on doors.

Here is my Ritz buck from a couple seasons back.

there almost has to be a guide service that has some sort of lease rights to land in this unit. may be worth looking for that guy and just paying the trespass fee.

I dont know about guide services. I know there are a couple hunting clubs

Here is the GoHunt map on the WDFW website. There are a lot of Feel free to hunt and Written permission parcels out there. The good part is there wont be many other deer hunters out there, maybe some bird hunters though. Hope this helps.

That's where I would be starting. Contact the private land owners that offer some form of access, and go from there.

Far from upset I drew a buck and a quality buck tag it's my 4th year in a row for buck tags. I wish the op the best of luck. My question? was with no plan!! Why do guys just put their points they (earned) year after year in to a situation where they have to come beg for help on a forum.   I guess I'm more self reliant than most but seems like a waste if he is not lucky enough to get access. 

PS I'm a west side guy as well.  just not stupid enough to think the guys on the east side are not sick and tired of idiots.

Elkburger, cool Ritz buck!! Helpful advice as well

What makes a westsider an IDIOT for contacting east side land owners for permission to hunt? Illegal trespassing yes but WE are not idiots for trying. Sure there were notes saying public land was limited but that doesn't mean a guy can't look to supplement after he draws.
I have had great success in contacting owners and securing private access, and that has opened many doors in multiple units. I have also had letters and voicemails ignored by some, probably the few that are sick and tired of westsiders. Don't bash a fellow sportsman be cause you don't know his plan.
All due respect given, congrats on your success drawing tags!

Elkburger:    Some great points you made.  I have had great success about learning about unknown units and will continue to do so.
