Feel Free to Hunt areas
« on: November 17, 2011, 04:21:50 PM »
I was thinking about heading over to eastern washington to do some quail and chuckar. Was wondering how the feel free to hunt areas were, if they are worth it, are there birds there?

Not really sure how good they, but there are a lot of them.  I went over this summer looking at some of them for deer hunting.  Most of them are more bird land then deer.  I found the locations on GOHUNT.  But when I got over there I was running into more properties then were on the map.  So I would say its worth looking into.

you need to check the private hunting lands box. it does not tell you any address/contact info.

Hmm, I have never seen that option on any of the maps I have looked at. Am I just picking GMU's that don't have any free to hunt access, or is the checkbox hiding from me? :(

Try Hunting access under the hunting tab and then look at the hunting prospects for the area you are thinking of hunting.  Some of the prospects have some of them have maps.

In go hunt you need to find the scale that points are visible at.  My understanding is that go hunt is going through some changes and will be update to a more user friendly format in the future.

Thanks, I finally got it to show. I think I see the problem though. Apparently the GoHunt map is not very up to date, or only partly updated. The WDFW web site says there are 22 Feel free to hunt "cooperators" in Skagit county, but GoHunt map shows none. It has a bunch of marks in southeast Washington for feel free to hunt, or hunt by written permission, but not a single mark in the northwest portion of the state. So I guess only way to find feel free to hunt land in NW Washington is to drive around looking for signs. :(

The map isn't meant to show all the feel free to hunt properties. There are many that I know of in SE Washington that don't show up on the map either. It used to be that there was NO WAY to find these lands without driving around and looking for the signs. Many of the landowners don't mine a few people hunting but don't them advertised so much that half the state ends up there hunting at the same time.
