Hey everyone,

Been e-scouting the past few weeks and deciding where to commit to these next few weeks. Was wondering if I can ask about a little info on these areas below to save myself multiple scouting trips. Let me know what y'all know about these areas. Tips for gear (only have floating decoys atm looking at getting some ground decoys for example), spots to park, unique rules, etc.

Located in SeaTac area if that helps for context.


Black River wildlife area
Davis Creek wildlife area
Any jblm oppertunities


-Thanks!

Not much goin on till frigid weather sets in. You can kayak and jump shoot

I would scout and do your homework before you get two deep. As example might do a camping trip in Moses lake to hear what the gun fire is like before even thinking about buying a hunting license.  Good luck 🍀 from a person who started duck hunting in 1986 🤣 with about a four year break. Times have changed and no one has disputed that by a long shot.  But reports seemed better on the west side last year to be 110% fair as well.

Holy heck dude, might as well ask to take my wife to dinner lol

Remember the 80/20 rule, 80% scouting and 20% hunting. Duck hunting location information is a close kept secrete and should be.  Your best bet would be to leave the gun in the truck for a few weeks and just take your hiking boots, bino's, and plan to buy a couple tanks of gas to go answer those questions yourself.  If you have a specific question about a specific area someone might, might help you but generally you are seen as competition to other duck hunters. 

I just got a new to me duck boat this year so I am excited to leave the gun at home and just go learn a new spot for the first few weeks.

As for gear get a good decoy bag with built in straps and belt. https://www.wildernesspacks.net/product-page/the-flyway

Meh, never hurts to ask. I gots plenty of info to share. I live on the river and don't hunt it. PokeBoated it many times in the 80's. Always worth some teal or ringers. The upper end in Dismal can be good but you gotta drop birds on the water. The timber is unforgiving. Also the walkway/launch on 110th is long gone. Long ways from Litterock launch and river disappears above the Schock place. Watch out for bears. Remember, frigid weather. Davis areas will get you a ringer or buffie. Let the Chehalis flood then hit Koopmans field on the drop. You'll only have two days. Again, cold weather is your friend. Any other scenarios just make far a quiet day in the outdoors. But, still can't kill birds from home. I can
