Can anyone hit me up with a PM or point me to any information about the youth area options? Looks to be all around Spokane but i don't know the area and won't have the ability to scout it out. Are we road hunting? Is it tough to find areas to camp? Should we plan for long hiking days?
Anything to get us on the right path to a fun father/daughter hunt is appreciated.

They really should have a small space like 100+ acres just for youth hunting.

Almost all of region 1 is open for antlerless whitetails. That's a great opportunity, and probably where I'll take my daughters when they're old enough to hunt deer.

Look at page 19 of the 2015 hunting reg's. At the bottom of the page is "Youth General Seasons."

this is what we did when my son was 8 and have continued since- He is old enough for mt and Id now so we mainly hunt here but still will go over for a day or two in Washington. Any of the northeast units that have the any deer season for youth is a good hunt(especially if she wants to shoot a doe) you shouldnt have any problem. Have your daughter ask some landowners for permission they seem way more likely to grant permission to a cute kid! I dont know about camping. We found lots of road you could drive and do some glassing from the road, do some hiking, some sitting you will find deer.

She doesn't care whether its a buck or a doe...she asked me what I thoughts and all I said was "Grand-dad said to only shoot doe cause they taste better". "I don't have that option and you do, so let's just take the first legal deer you can wherever we are". :tup:
Really just want her to have a positive hunting experience first time out.

I'd bet a $1 that if you ask there has got a be a forum member or two that can hook you up on a nice doe for her. Best of luck to her.
If he's willing to travel to Spokane then I can for sure help the lil one a doe! My son just passed Hunter Education (8years old) and I am going to take him for a deer. He said he wants a buck though. :tup:

If I can't connect with this friend of mine, I'll hit the options up in this thread to connect and we'll get my girl a deer. Much appreciated!

Rearden to be exact, chasing a 180" mule deer I know that lives in my hunting area.
