Title: need help on east side
Post by: kentrek on March 26, 2012, 04:32:57 PM: i just transferd to wsu pullman this spring and plan on going here next fall. however this doesn't coincide with me hunting nonstop on the west side so i have now begun the search for a place to hunt deer an elk (or bear....or yotes) with archery or rifle or muzzy. i would like to stay with in an hours or so drive from pullman. i have been told theres loads of great hunting but im not realy seeing it :bash:....can anybody maybe point me in the right direction for some good public land ? or if anybody needs a spoter/packer for next year id love to tag along. any info will be much appreciated

Plain and simple..the breaks of the snake, the palouse, SE the blues hour of so away. Grand Ronde, Walla Walla, Tucannon. Go north and hunt, Also hunt north palouse..Colfax around the palouse river..lots of places to look knock on doors. Also farmers always looking for help around harvest time. You never know.

I think I would just look for the farmers daughter whose Papa owns a ranch and chase her around campus. :chuckle:

Post by: whacker1 on April 12, 2012, 05:27:12 PM: I would make a road trip down to the blue moutains for bear.

But if you are already headed to Idaho for deer, you might as well hunt bear as well. Lots of bears in Unit 6, lots of wolves in Unit 6 as well. This way you can get the spring bear in and get Idaho figured out for the fall. Way more time to hunt in Idaho for deer, so you might as well focus some of your energy over there.

Best of luck.

BTW anyone in the pullman area know of any houses for rent. I need a large 3 or 4 bedrom place that allows small dogs.

Post by: TG509hunter on July 18, 2012, 01:12:59 PM: What buckman202 said ...... there are no deer in the Palouse or the Blues. No offense to all the advice given here, but I am a little bitter to the .... being buddy buddy with the local “rednecks” I grew up in the Pullman area hunting the Blues & the Palouse for deer, elk, pheasant … you name it. One day on campus (wearing camo) I was approached by some random guy from the westside, who started asking me questions about where I lived, etc. Long story short the guy became my “best friend” all through college, probably because I took him hunting all the time and introduced him to some awesome hunting grounds. After we graduated he basically wrote me off as a friend. Not sure why, but I assume it’s because neither of us were going to live near that area anymore and he no longer needed me for hunting. Again, I am a little bitter about the situation and felt like I was taken advantage of. Honestly, there is some good hunting around there, but be careful how you approach the situation. It’s a small small community and it doesn’t take long for the word to get around. I am confident that most guys on here are good guys, but I had to share my story. Good luck to you and GO COUGS!!!!!!
