Title: Dogs in the Palouse
Post by: McCRIZZLEY on September 07, 2015, 12:02:32 PM: Hey, just moved to pullman to finish up my school, and would love to get out after some dogs. I am not familiar with the area much, and was wondering if anybody wanted to get together on a weekend or something to hunt some coyotes/scout for after big game.

I used to live on the wetside, but have done a fair amount of waterfowl hunting in the Sprague/4th of july lake area for the last 8 or so years. I was thinking of starting there, but you have such limited views, and it's about an hour and a half away. I am sure the Palouse area holds em up, but I'm struggling to find some huntable land.

I have a truck, nice rifle, and a lanyard full of calls, just missing the location.

thanks in advance!
Go Cougs!

I live in Albion and work at WSU. Plenty of coyotes down by the Snake River also. Lot's of Army Corp of Engineer land to hunt but some are shotgun only.

Post by: McCRIZZLEY on September 09, 2015, 12:50:23 PM: Ah, I went down to the snake river to explore during my first week here. Headed towards Idaho. Saw lots of little "fingers" "ravines" "gullies" things along the road. Most were on the other side though. Did see one public hunt area on our side that was called like the Washington state bird Trail or something. Thanks for the pointers guys! I'll have to actually go along the breaks and bring a gun!

Post by: Evil_EdwardO on September 09, 2015, 02:44:26 PM: Did you stop by Nisqually John Canyon? It's a Army Corp HMU about 3000 acres. It's just past the Blyton boat launch on the left hand side going towards Clarkston on Wawawai road. As I was typing this, I looked up the Washington State bird trail and one is in Nisqually John Canyon. So looks like you found it. :tung:

Nope, the shotgun areas I know of are on the other side of the dam and towards Central Ferry.

I plan on doing some serious predator control there in the next few months. I live in Pullman, shoot me a PM if you are interested in helping me kill a few of them.

Every year it seems like there is more. I saw atleast 1 every day I hunted deer and saw them everyday I scouted. They are taking over.
