Title: New to Washington Dove Hunting
Post by: Ronquillo08 on August 18, 2021, 06:49:21 PM: I am trying to get my son off the video games and into hunting, I thought doves would be a good start. I am originally from Louisiana and have no clue where to go. I am looking for a spot in KITSAP or Mason county, anyone know of some good locations in this area or on the West side period?

To be honest, not enough to be worth your wild. If you're trying to get kids going, I would try the Rayonier Land off of Bear Creek Dewatto. Usually can find a few small flocks along the clear cut roads eating grit.

Might look into grouse hunting - season starts early, runs long and can make for some nice days walking the logging roads.
