Title: Seeking info/help on GMU 127 Palouse Permit
Post by: Rifled1 on October 09, 2020, 11:45:44 PM: West sider who drew a Palouse Buck tag. Looking for general tips/advice on areas to hunt.
I'm not looking for anyone's honey hole, I'm just looking to find info on general areas that would be good to hunt following this past fire season.
Any help would be appreciated, I really don't know much about the area.

Thanks.

This tag has lost some value in the last few years due to the blue tongue outbreak 2015. Way more deer before then. But some quality opportunities do still exist. You might have to think outside the box if you don’t have any private land lined up. IEP pass to hunt their holdings on Mica peak, spotty DNR lands around the unit. Also WDFW has a bunch of the “reservation” and “permission “ hunts on private land check that out.

Man... My wife keeps nagging me to take her back to where she went to college (Pullman) for a visit... Maybe whitetail hunting will be my reason to make that drive eventually.

Good call. I reckon the list from the WDFW would be more legit. https://privatelands.wdfw.wa.gov/private_lands/type/22/
