well people better be invisible if their gunna walk in front of me :bfg: :chuckle:
There's lotsa country over there and lotsa lazy road hunters. I've seen quite a few nice bucks right on hwy 97 just north of Riverside. East side of 97 going north. There is a county pit on the right side of the road where they dump dead deer. I don't know how much land is county. I bet if you find it, you might be able to get in where the bucks are hiding. The pit is right across from a big pond/lake looking deal with a small rock pit/quarry. You should be able to find it real easy. Good luck.

140 acres of private land :drool: :drool: :drool:. We have 50 or so and do pretty well. I would love that kind of dirt. Good luck post pics of the success, and yes, most likely you will find guys that will be on the private land as well. Seems a lot of folks from over here (wet side) know someone over there and just assume that if there is not a house every acre it must be public land :bash: :bash: :bash:. We ask people to leave our place every year, hopefully the cabin and trucks will prevent a few of them from pulling in, we will see. Go over have a great time and look at the potential of the area, see what you can do to increase your odds next year and the year after :dunno:. A small food plot, a mineral block, something that will pay off in future years. That kind of property and a place to stay is priceless, I am sure you know but be sure to be the best guest you can be so that opportunity is still open to you. We hunt just north east of Tonasket and there are deer there but still not like it used to be. This should be a good year.ya im definatly lookin forward to bein over there. its my first year there so im not expecting a giant but just to get to know the area and potentially put in a plot and cam for next year. im more about just getting out in the sticks and just havin fun in the silence of the country. and i know what you mean about people bein a holes and thinkin they can hunt where ever theres not a house. i live in tenino and have a good amount of land but every year i gotta push people of my land cuz it aint posted and the house is at the corner of the property.
thanks for the info best of luck to ya

Either way, you get to see some new country and anything's better than staying home. (especially when home is Olympia) :chuckle:
Post by: RippinLips on October 14, 2010, 11:09:46 AM
Oh you'll SEE plenty. Just maybe not any deer. :)good point bobcat. i got a reall nice 3-4 year old 4 point behind me but hes a ghost after july i think he lives in a tree house by the whistle stop for hunting season :chuckle: for now ill stick to the east side till he gets a little dummer and wait for these wildlife biologist mf'ers to quit drivin around back there >:(

On private ground more then your party is too many >:(. Don't let everyone on here get you down :dunno:. Go check it out, hunt it hard and post your pictures :whoo:. We have been hunting northeast of Tonasket for years, some years are better then others but it is always a good time ;).:yeah: Heading for that spot myself in a few minutes. Few days of deer hunting and then on to Wyoming elk hunt. Praying for better hunting weather. Good luck and safe travels to all.
