Title: Public Land Varmint Hunting
Post by: Sea3006 on October 02, 2011, 10:29:11 AM: Not looking for people's secret hot spots, but what are good general public areas in Central & Western Washington for varmint hunting?

Washington has lots of National Forest, State Lands, and Timber Company lands. Contact the DNR or Forest Service office near you to get maps showing public lands.
