Colville/K Falls

[bornhunter]

Not knowing for sure if a jump from the westside all the way to Idaho or Montana is the right move, wondering about Colville/K Falls area. Spent some time there over the last few days and found some beautiful places for sale and met some very nice people. Saw a ton of whitetails including a dandy 4x4 right on the property I looked at as well as a bunch of quail. Anyone have comments on living in this area for a retired guy who likes to hunt and enjoy the outdoors. Cost of living seems similar to where I live now.

I loved the area.   Just hard to make a living.  If you are past that stage then enjoy!
Make sure you are willing to love snow. 

I still film alot there.

Freezing rain, snow, ice and 100 in the summer. I lived 40 miles from KF in Curlew for 16 + years. It might get to -30, yes MINUS 30 in the winter. Normally -15-20 below for a few days. I loved the area except the winters, unless you have a snow machine that's different. I had quads and could leave my backdoor and ride for hours.

Your close enough to Spokane, 70 miles or so, to be able to go to Costco, nice dinner/lunch etc.

Not much for work unless you're related to someone just about, in either town. I had semi trucks hauling wood products, hog fuel, sawdust and chips.

That us what I am looking for. A place I can jump on a quad and go. Just getting so dang old just dont know how wise it is to do it now. But living on the west side is like being in prison. Dont do this, dont do that. No ohvs allowed anywhere. I just got warned by a park ranger because I had my dog of leash while walking on rails to trails all the way out in Pe Ell. Didnt even know you had to have them on a leash. There were no signs posted. Geesh! You get babysat everywhere you go. You dont get that crap on the eastside it seems. Well thanks for the info guys.

That's why I moved to Arizona. Stevens County grandfathered the ATV's so you can ride them on county roads 35 and below if I remember right. Ask Bearpaw if you want to know.

Will do, thanks. You live in AZ full time?

Yes sir.. 2 years ago we moved. Don't need a permit to carry a gun concealed or open carry either. I have a 2017 RZR and can ride it anyplace, except the interstate, if it's licensed and insurance. No gun free zones either. I have not seen one commie sign, in any town, or any place else.

I would go to to ID or MT. The west side of WA is slowly sucking the soul out of the east side with their liberal garbage. Unfortunately we are like an abused spouse trying to escape a bad relationship but they just have to much oversight and control to break free. Idaho is so close but so far away

[coyotecrazy]

I'd move to the Moscow ID area.

[bornhunter]

Geez. Its happening everywhere. Cant escape it no matter where you go it sounds. AZ sounds good but the heat there would kill me.

Move to Idaho.. Resident 65 and older cheap license fees to hunt& fish combination is $13.75.

If you move to Pinetop, Show Low you won't be in the heat in the summer.

The heat here is dry heat, heck, I'm used to it......

You gotta think beyond hunting and fishing license fees when you move, especially when you're 65.

True
