Title: finding place...
Post by: realtree21 on March 14, 2008, 10:19:20 AM: Hey... I am just getting into hunting and I have no idea where to start looking. I live in spokane. Does anyone have any pointers where to start looking. Thanks.

Not too many people truly hunt it all that hard and if you get up there and do your scouting and find some escape routes, you'll be set for opening weekend when the opening day warriors all hit the place. 95% of the year the only people you'll see up there are dirt bike riders, and if you get off the trails and hit the woods, the animals are there.

Now if you have any access to large >40acres anywhere in Spokane county, thats a great place to hunt deer, cuz they are literally everywhere.

Post by: Sagedawg on March 14, 2008, 06:37:37 PM: Realtree, the answer to both of your questions is yes. Turkey on Mica and all around Mt Spokane. The biggest obstale around Mt Spokane is acess. Do abit of scouting see where the birds are hanging then get ready to knock on some doors. You might get a lot of No's but all it takes is one yes. Good luck to you. BTW if you want to hunt this Spring you should start a week ago trying to get permission. lol
