Thanks ribka, one more question if you would please. Do you have to choose early or late season or can you hunt both, I am having a heck of a time understanding the regulations up here it seems they were written by a bunch of politicians!

Check out the snake river breaks.  Not too far from any of the tri cities.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Being an Army vet cannot divulge my secrets to a jarhead :chuckle:

Can pm if you need more help. I moved here 5 years ago and it took me about 3-4 years to figure out the state , seasons, good areas, fishing and hunting regs, preferred pts etc. And I am still learning

Many good guys on this forum. Stay on and share your experiences and you will receive more help and info

Welcome!

I moved up here from the great state of Texas last fall ... good luck!

And yeah ... the regs up here are confusing (and restrictive!) as all get out!

Hello grizzly :hello:  but I think you might've misinterpreted my post with the other Devil Dog USMC_Bowhunter who is the one that moved from Texas.  Understandable but  :hello:  anyways. :chuckle:
