Title: Whatcom County
Post by: Cougar Gold on February 13, 2021, 12:49:09 PM: I’m thinking of moving to Whatcom County. Do the pheasant release sites listed on WDFW website get planted regularly during the season?

Welcome to the county! Where you planning on settling in at? I’m in the Everson area. I recommend staying out of Bellingham

Post by: Special T on February 13, 2021, 07:40:15 PM: If you are excited about the phesant release program i recomend volunteering and becoming involved... in Skagit Couty we are blessed with great waterfowling, as is Whatcom, but dont have wdfw property for a great release site like The 2 sites i mentioned. If you love hunting birds get involved and make a difference. Beautiful pieces of property need some volunteer work and coukd be an absolute jem in your back yard. Get to know the Lake Terrell manager and find a way to improve the great gem in the ruff.
