Title: Blue Mtns. Foothills East Modern
Post by: huntaddict on July 02, 2018, 03:00:06 PM: Well apparently I'm that guy that put in for the wrong unit for my second choice and drew it. I meant to put in for west, but I burned 14 points so I'd like to make the most of it. I plan on using the Go hunt maps and seeing about access. I also thought I would reach out here to see if anybody would want to help. Thanks advance.

Post by: jackelope on July 02, 2018, 08:49:24 PM: Your best bet to find access is to drive the units and jot down phone #’s on the “hunt by written permission” signs. Call them and see what happens. That or find a place to hunt public in Lick Creek. There’s a lot less deer though unfortunately. Your best bet for finding a quality buck will be on private ground in the farm country. There is also some hunt by reservation land through the state too. Get on the Wdfw site to figure the ins and outs of that out.

:yeah: Not sure why the majority keeps mentioning private land. Lots of public land and plenty of good bucks

This is why I mentioned the private land issue. There’s a ton of public land but the hunting on the private is a lot better quality.

Post by: huntaddict on July 04, 2018, 09:24:35 AM: Thanks guys, I’ve been looking at maps and it looks like there is some state land throughout the private. Does anybody know if you can hunt in the wildlife area in 181?
