rockchuck areas

[satchel3006]

been trying to find a place to find rock chucks thats open to the public does anybody know anything about Douglas creek? or twin lakes BLM area we found quite a few rock chucks around palouse falls last year but they looked like they were actually in the park area and we didnt know if we were allowed to shoot there so we let them pass. looking for a reason to get out of the house for awhile and if i get a chance at some rock chucks so much the better. any help is appreciated

not a whole lot of chuck shooting anymore and what few spots are left most guys are pretty closed lip about it not live sage rats or diggers that are everyware. if i knew of a place that way but i don't know any that are public.

FYI for those that do not know.

There are a few species of Rock Chuck in WA that are protected and against the law to shoot.  Yeah I know WTH?  Just thought I would pass the info along.  I believe the only one you are allowed to shoot are the yellow belly.  It has been about 2 years since I looked into it so you may want to call F&W and ask.

I think the protected ones are in the alpine areas. Hoary marmot? I think that's what I saw in the Pasayten Wilderness and got a bunch of pictures of. Looked it up later and I think that's what it was, if I remember right. Most people aren't going to go to that much work to get to them.

Get a silencer for your pistol and check out riverfront park in spokane right by the carousel.

I know of a couple areas close to Palouse Falls, but they're off limits by the locals until "target multiplication season" (after they have babies).

PM me in a month or two and we can go smack 'em.

[carpsniperg2]

great offer shaneman153D, yeah the only ones that are off limits that i know of are the marots but who knows the yellow bellys are the only ones i see

There must be some around Chelan. I have seen a couple of dozen within the city limits.
