My dad lives in mead but lives in the city so cant hunt there. Any help would be cool. After this years. West side black tail hunt im ready to try some thing new is saw no deer at all. That is unless u count the dow i drove past on my way home and the cow elk also.

117 is 4 point minimum this year so its gonna be tougher huntin...

I've seen the Game Unit Maps for a couple different units, and they were good for land ownership.  I wish I could remember who made them, but it's escaping me now.  I did see that Outdoor Emporium in Seattle had some of them for sale.  Call them and see if they have the ones for those units.

Not knowing anything about that area, if I were to decide to hunt it, I think I'd be calling Bearpaw for some of his maps.

Ya i know it is 4 point but realy i would like to get out in the wood and at least see some deer. I know I can get the gym you maps I'm looking for something a little more specific more like were forest service roads are or any public lands that someone knows. Thanks for the help guys.

you could try the refuge, but every buck i see in there is standing in the no shooting zones

I personally prefer the DNR land, but  deer can be found on the public land around Newport or Colville. Whitetail are so quick and cautious.  Sitting really works the best.  It will be a challenge to find a 4 pointer willing to sit still.  I drive through some farm country on the way to my spot.  Very frustrating as there are deer everywhere. Try around the bead lake area near the Idaho border.

My buddy missed a 4 x 4 earlier this year on the LPO refuge, while i was with him.  so there may still be a very nice buck out there.
