There are actually hundreds of thousands of acres of pubic ground. Just get a Colville Forest map so you can find your way.

I spoke at length with a WDFW officer a few weeks ago.  He practically begged me to hunt GMU 124 (Spokane County) in 2011 due to a great abundance of whitetails.  He also mentioned that (all) the GMUs north of 124 were experiencing a decline in deer populations.  I believe the wolves are now making their presence known.

Snow is what is killing the deer in 113 and 117.  4 bad winters in a row will do that.

Thanks DB, that was what i was looking for. I'm getting tired of working the wide open palouse and was thinking about going to some different terrain. Saw these NE deer photos and it looked like a little more fun area to hunt.

You gotta get to know some farmers.  You will have more fun, trust me.  There are some huge bucks down there, and lots of bucks for the freezer.

Yeah, I have my few farms that I can go hunt and I do see some bigger bucks usually one big one a year, never get them though. Getting to know the farmers these days isn't as easy as most of you guys seem to think it is, ive been out here at WSU for the last 3 years and i hit the dirt roads and knock on doors and do all the right stuff (and no not the week before the opener) but unless you're willing to shell out hundreds of dollars per person, you're not going to get much access to lands worth hunting for deer, but a lot of good bird access.
I hunt for peace of mind.

Yeah it is tough, a lot of the guys like to keep it for themselves and friends.  I have been lucky, my dad lived down there and got to know the right people so it makes it easier getting on land every year that produces nice bucks with no people. There is state land on the palouse, but if you keep trying, im sure they will let you hunt.  Check by rosalia, there is feel free to hunt land there that produces nice bucks.  If you go up north, try the Inland paper company land, they own a lot and you pay a small fee for a permit to hunt their land.  And i have seen very nice bucks come out of there.
