So... son who's in school in Utah calls me up says I'm coming up the 16th and I want u to take me hunting for a few days. Ok I'm a muzzy hunter, and there's no season at that time so ive decided on the late rifle north of colville for wt.
I've been doing on x research and there seems to be alot of nf and private timber Co. Lands. Inland paper seems to be by permit. But there is also Hancock Boston globe and a bunch of others? This is in 105 and 108. Having never even set foot in these units I'm looking for any general advice we can get. And if anyone has had success during this time frame what's been your go to method. Kinda leaning on 105 coming in from the west side and doing some dry camping in a small wall tent.

Realistic expectations are just to spend some time with my son. Between his military obligations and school we haven't hunted together in 3 yrs. As for successfully harvest an animal, I would think at that time if u can find the females you may find some bucks. Kinda just wondering if the other timber Co's beside inland allow access without a permit?

He sprung all of this on me just last week. Not complaining. Actually really excited. Get to spend some quality time in the woods with my youngest, and see some new area.

Sound advice. Thank you. I may if it all works out go up the 13th with a bear tag and poke around. Then head into spokane on the 16th to pick him up. If I give myself a couple days to scout maybe I can find him some deer. I know asking for advice/ help this late is taboo So I do appreciate it.

By this time of the season, it’s pretty unlikely to see many bears out cruising around but you never know. If you have trail cameras, they can be helpful as well if you find a decently used game trail.

Scouting is definitely helpful, but you can find plenty of wt during the season without scouting imo. I often go into season without any real scouting. I have a blind that has backpack straps and a little chair, start hiking until you find sign, scrapes and rubs. Then start looking for good openings to set up. The key is patience, sitting all day is pretty boring but it gives me by far the most opportunity. Still hunting has not been very productive for me for wt like it was for bt. I use a little buddy heater in my blind sometimes too. I was worried they would smell it but they don't seem to. Although I usually shoot little bucks so maybe the big ones have better noses 🤣

Don't be scared of the weather. The lord hates a coward.
I don't think anyone in this thread is scared of the weather. The less time monkeying around in deep snow at camp, the more time for hunting.
