Have never been hunting there. We live a couple hours south of there and really never had to go to far from home. Kids sports schedule is usually tight when rifle season comes along but we still get a day or so for my son to hunt. That is why I muzzleload. My 15 year old son filled his doe tag. He still has his regular tag. We actually have a weekend off and we are going to just take off to a unit open for late buck. Spur of the moment kind of thing, whatever. Going to pack a tent but prepared to stay at a hotel if one is near by wherever we end up, don't matter mom is not with us so we go wherever we feel like. Thought I'd start by republic area and go from there. Not asking for secret spots but a general idea of where to start. We are experienced hunters and looking at areas that are new to us. WE ARE NOT WESTSIDERS!

Does he bow hunt? 101 is archery only for late buck, opens today.
The late rifle units are 105, 108, 111, 113, 117, 121, and 124.
That might change your plans a bit but lots of public lands to hunt anywhere. Good luck guys!

There kinda is a secret club to being on the dry side.
Certain circles with information are always floating around between folks.
Can't blame a guy for trying to tap into that.
Is what it is.
I'm sure the wet side has some secret circles.
You are in the circle of trust,or your not.

Born and raised in Republic. We dislike all non local hunters pretty much equally. Doesn't matter if your from Spokane or Seattle.
That’s funny stuff right there. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Doesn't matter if your from Spokane or Seattle.Please don’t dig our razor clams, catch our crab or harvest our oysters and steamer clams. Not to mention the off the charts upriver brights in August on the lower Columbia! We all live in the same state . I won’t voice my opinion on the state of our state and I don’t think you own any of the wildlife!

Seafood is super gay compared to big game.

This is a smart ass comment but true, one of my grandfathers was born and raised in Republic 1920's-1930's then moved to Spokane, fought in the big war and moved to the west side to be a salmon troller. I started hunting Republic in 1993, but had previously spent summers above Tonasket on my grandfathers (married into) family farm in the early 1970's to mid 1980's as well as hunted a bit there as a kid. My mother in-law lived in Republic from 1992-1998ish. Question, what makes a "local" does having family ties to the area not enough? I understand most live there for a reason and understand why because I would like to live there or SE AK in a small village or town to get away from the masses as well.
Sorry to thread jack but just had questions and wanted to air it out, little tongue in cheek, and actually wondering as well.
Washington born and raised and have fished and hunted just about every corner of it
