You should have no problem finding public land and even easier, does.
But that would require the dreaded four letter word w-o-r-k.

Nice to see that you have labeled them as too lazy to do the w-o-r-k to find public land. There isn't much there to find bud. And some of the public land is gated making one think it isn't open. Don't be such a %%%%.
Comes up on here often when people on the day of hunting season ask for hunting info. Have had at least six months to prepare for season right? Of course did the research before putting in for tag? Am I wrong? If someone came up to you opening day and asked where are the deer after you spent 100's of dollars in gas money, camping, hotels, many hours scouting, driving, reviewing maps, talking to people, knocking on doors, getting turned down, yelled at etc etc... searching on Hunt WA, WDFW web site, talking to game biologists what would your response be? This a first post too. There are limited opportunities hunting in WA and it does require at least a little ( at least a five minute search on the internet) before asking. Maybe a call to the local game office? I have turkey hunted in that area and there is public land with does. Take a day go to the local WDFW Office, talk to them and bring some maps. Sounds pretty difficult doesn't it? Did this person offer to reciprocate?
FYI not an ass as I have helped many, many people on here with hunting and fishing and shed spots. If the poster came back on here and stated she did research talked to people, at least made a phone call to WDFW, looked at maps and offered specifics would be more than willing to help. See no follow-up post though :dunno:Can't tolerate the handout mentality in the US but that is just my humble opinion. :twocents:
Those who disagree more than welcome to take stranger(s) to your hunting and fishing honey holes next year

You should have no problem finding public land and even easier, does.My maps show Deer 1035 as 100% private.

She didn't specify that they were hunting 1035 in the original post just that it was around Colville.You should have no problem finding public land and even easier, does.My maps show Deer 1035 as 100% private.

I didn't mean to pick on you. Sorry if it sounded that way. I can see how it could have been confusing. Anyway, now we know it's 1035 and that is all private.She didn't specify that they were hunting 1035 in the original post just that it was around Colville.You should have no problem finding public land and even easier, does.My maps show Deer 1035 as 100% private.

I understand where you are coming from in regards to researching an area, but I don't feel the same rules apply when it comes to a damage hunt. Maybe im wrong but I thought the locals wanted some of those does thinned out?? Real good chance one of them are on here or someone here knows a land owner that wants some does removed. Im not taking anyone to my elk spots but would not hesitate to help someone on a doe hunt like this.
I apologize for saying don't be a @@@%. Wasn't called for.
No harm no foul ;)
Yeh if 1035 tough finding land day of hunt start. I know guys on here from the area talking about lack of deer ( does) up there ( Coleville) so even more difficult to find access. I have does on my property in 342 and have let youth come and hunt does in the past but numbers are way down so no doe hunting until numbers recover.
Believe me I am the worst procrastinator and hopefully this is a lesson to the poster. It happened to me in the past and was a good lesson when I did not do the needed homework. A successful hunt in Washington takes a lot of background research and time. Hopefully a learning experience. :twocents:
