Welcome to the site. A lot of times members will help more if you post more then just wanting some spots to hunt. Like pictures and stories of your past hunts and such. A lot of people come on and just ask about hunting spots and never show back up. Stick around and share some stuff that always helps

(private land is best)

If you are willing to spend a little time, the Stevens county Assessor site has excellent satelitte photos breaking down the ownership of every parcel in the county.  Takes a little study to learn how to navigate it, but once you figure it out you can easily tell what's public (parcels starting with 800) and what's private (it will also tell you who the registered owner is)  If your son is young enough you might really try to make the youth hunt over there as it's considerably less crowded and much easier to get land owner permisson.  Really helps if you can get over and do a little scouting, but a great time of year to be out regardless of getting birds or not.  Welcome to the site-good luck!!

Thanks for the welcome...I will stay even if I get grief from some people....Just need to get my bearings of the area and I should be fine!!

Most of the land up there is private, unless you guided or know someone up there I would go elsewhere......

I tell everyone that you would have to be a blind man not to find turkeys on public and/or private land in the Colville & Kettle Falls area - but I think I have to amend that since I think even a blind man can find birds there - both public and private lands holds a lot of birds. 

I like the idea about going during the youth season ... majority of land owners are more receptive to private hunts for a kid than us older guys.  Go a day early for the hunt, get up and get out by first light and drive around ... you will see birds. Note where you saw them and come back at a more decent hour to see the landowner. Stopping and asking doesn't cost anything.

The local DNR office has maps that will also show you were public land is  ... my first Colville Merriams came from various public land located North - South - East - and West.
