There are alot of factors to think about. Are you planning on living on the east or westside of the state? What kind of waterfowling do you want to do? How serious are you about hunting?

Should be able to ask some of the ducks unlimited members and maybe they can help you out.

www.wdfw.wa.gov and click on the Go Hunt! tab. It should help you out. On the eastside, probably to most popular spot are the Potholes near Moses Lake. Good Luck

I agree with the above posts. I would check out the Columbia Basin. That is where I do most my hunting and there are tons of places to go. You can hunt everything from the Columbia river to little pothole ponds in the middle of sage flats.

If you hunted the river in Colorado. There is the Columbia River which in some places has tons of puddle ducks... then in other areas tons of diver ducks... and if you are lucky you can get both!

I agree and also research the WDFW website. On another post you asked about the WA Waterfowl Association: http://www.waduck.org/

Eastside has some great duck hunting.  Sage ponds, wasteways, creeks, rivers, ag fields, you name it we got it.  Crowds are kind of a problem though.
