Title: Information wanted, please.
Post by: sisu on March 09, 2007, 07:36:41 AM: I live in the south-west end of Stevens County, last two years so I don't know a whole lot yet, and I would like to know where I could drive to to shoot some rock chucks? I've been told that SW of Spokane there are good places to go, but I have no clue how far SW. I'm not asking for pin point directions but just a round about figure.
thank you,
Scott

Post by: boneaddict on March 10, 2007, 05:10:21 PM: I was thinking around banks lake or coulee city. Thats about the closest I can think of for you. I don't remember there being many, but there were a few southof Chewelah, by Springdale, but most of that is private land I think.

Post by: sisu on March 10, 2007, 05:18:16 PM: Thank you. Private land might be good if the farmer is not happy with holes in the fields. Don't know if WA farmers and ranchers are as unhappy with hole digging critters as Montana people are, but I am sure I'll find out soon.

Post by: Machias on March 14, 2007, 07:08:26 PM: Huge, vast amounts of BLM land just south of Hwy 2. Teleford Road, Seven Springs Dairy Road and the creek bottom between Twin Lakes in that area. Literally MILES of rock chucks and no homes as far as you can see, which in that country is a looong ways. About a 45 minute drive past Fairchild AFB.

It is illegal to shoot some marmots, and some are legal. ;)

Post by: Krusty on August 17, 2007, 04:00:41 PM: Krusty,

No, what I mean is... there are as many as 5 different types of marmots in this state, and some are listed as "protected" while some are not.
