Title: Spokane Modern Rifle Deer and Elk Areas?????
Post by: Big Game Luver on August 04, 2011, 02:41:22 PM: Hello game lovers,

I am new to hunting in the state of Washington and I live in Spokane. I plan on going over into the Cusick area to hunt a little but was wondering if anyone knew if the white tail and elk in the Spokane area is worth it or not. I know I will have to go out a ways to find some good Elk hunting but I am sure there are some people on here who might not mind giving me some ideas on where to start scouting. If you could help I would be very grateful....Thank you.

Used to be opening day there would be 40 rigs parked at the tower road all with 3 or 4 place ATV trailers and all you would hear all day is people riding the roads. nothing against ATV's, I use them myself, but with that closed, the hunting is gonna get real good up there.

Sorry Woodchuck. Actually the Mt Rainier herd should be a guys first choice tied with the Naches or Manastash area.

J/K...but on a serious note, thank you all for the information and I hope to one day cross paths with you guys and get in a good group hunt.
