Title: Pullman Area Thanksgiving Hunt - GMU 145 163178 181
Post by: Griz231 on September 26, 2011, 11:50:24 AM: So, I've to go to some relatives for Thanksgiving in Pullman. Never been down in the area, not sure what the public land situation is.
Can anyone give me some idea of what the access is like? Is it a lot of private?
I have a multi deer tag, so I can do archery or muzzy or archery elk in 178 too.

The elk hunt is much of one, lots of farm land and the elk aren't thick there unless it's very snowy in the blues. Need permission to hunt alot of it as well.

Around thanksgiving so you must be doing muzzleloader in which case only steptoe would be open.99% private but permission should be easy to come by if you get out there and talk to some people. ALso be ready for winter was out opening day last year and it was -5 and driftin snow like crazy.

Yea, i have multi deer, so muzzy it will be.
I'll have to get out and knock on some doors. Won't be able to get away on thanskgiving day, but I'll be there all for the four day weekend.
If anybody needs a huntin buddy, let me know. :chuckle: I'll keep researching it and see if i can figure something out.

Post by: buckman202 on September 27, 2011, 07:04:07 PM: Make sure when you go knockin and talkin you mention that with your muzzy tag you can take a doe that will just about get your foot in the door anywhere,. If it were any other year I would say I would probably be out there with ya but takin pops out for modern this year. Also just a couple points of direction, green hollow rd and alse glenwood off of hihway 272 I would drive in there and make some friends.

Now that's good thinking there. Got a couple buddies I might be able to borrow a coug shirt or a coug hat.
I'm a Montana Griz fan, but i could sacrafice for a couple days.

So maybe i'll get their attention if i wear a Griz or Husky hat. :chuckle:
I think I'll stick with my people skills and hope for the best.
Might not even need it if i can bag my deer this weekend or during modern. Just want to have a back up plan.

Post by: hunterrcc on September 30, 2011, 11:13:46 AM: Exactly how many times do they see coug hats alot makes you fit in otherwise they wonder who the f$*# is walking up to their door to ask to hunt some stupid ass husky!!! LOL I played ball for the cougs and that is an easy foot in the door when asking for permission. An old worn out coug hat or shirt goes along ways trust me!!!
