I usually would drive over to 4th of july lake by sprague when I lived on the west side for waterfowl, and I've seen a dog or two in there. Might be worth the the extra drive.

Used to hunt that when I lived in that area. Shot a few dogs but there can be pressure.
I can't say that recreational shooting and hunting are one in the same. I would vote no. They started this about the time I left. Remember hearing about it and there were some pissed off folks, but I was headed south at that point. I'd dig a little deeper... Did you call the Spokane office?
