Title: Any good public land near Spokane?
Post by: jk2paintworx on December 09, 2014, 02:48:56 PM: I am new to Hunting and looking for some places to find some Coyotes near Spokane. I have some private land, but mostly smaller stuff. Is there any good public land that isnt overhunted? I looked on the wa.gov site and they have a map but from what I can see there isnt very much public land. But the map is a bit hard to understand and doesnt really tell me if its good coyote area.

Not that you can't get coyote in those places cause they are there. But they have heard just about every fox pro sound out there. I like hand calls for public land my self.if your willing to drive 1-2 hours from Spokane then there is alot more public land

The BLM office on Fancher Rd, just a bit north of Broadway, has most of the public land maps available pretty cheap.

Swanson Lakes has some public ground, but leave your calls at home and hope for an ambush set up. Make sure you get permission and know where you in Lincoln county, they have a well deserved reputation for prosecuting trespassers.

yup Swanson lakes gets hammered hard! I've called several in there but be prepared to walk....and walk. They stay away from the roads and almost every coyote I've gotten their came is very cautious. Spot and stalk have worked well for me there as well
