4-0 ranch ??

[GameHunter1959]

I drove to the property last month, before I applied for my Quality Elk permit. Game department seems to be doing lots of work on the property; new fences up front etc.

Any pics or sites anyone can reference to check out any kills made on the property?

Have you done a search on here for it?  I seem to recall someone posting about it in the last year or two.

I have not search the hunt wa site. But I will right now..

I am hoping to drive down that way later next week.

Bring a book to read. They have a rock falling crew there all Summer. They open and close it every 45 minutes. This would be the main road that winds downhill to Bogans store. I got lucky and only waited 5 minutes.

I was over there on Memorial Day weekend, saw a couple hundred elk every night! It's heaven on earth. Saw one bull that was as big as a dinosaur.

Would that be a T-Rex or a Raptor?

im going with t-Rex, he was right next to some land that is fore sale!  2 20 acre lots, 99,000 each. And a 40 ac for 199,00.  It would be a great place to retire but pretty for from any real towns.

Thanks for the heads up on traffic delays.

Lewiston/Clarkston isn't that far away and the have a costco, Safeway and a commercial airport. Pretty much everything most people despise about an hour away.

really appreciate the info guys,starting to think I should have had it as a choice on my draws shuuucks,of course by the time I get another chance there will be some guy at the gate with a atm terminal running on a generator hooked up to some bank owned satellite , and he will ask me for my reservation take my access fee after what I have already paid,and point me to were to park and were to hunt, and what time to hunt.,then tell me when to leave, in other words it will more resemble a drive in movie,but of course 1300 people will put in for this insanity for a couple years then all this will dye off ,hoof rot ,blue tuong,or they will add wolves to the big show,and then they will move to the cascades and open another theater,and so on and so on,any way,  (  3 - months- !! )            sill putting in on the insanity and loving it !!

Jburke.....I am aware of the 4-0 Ranch not being part of the US wildlife refuges, I even said the ranch was not part of it and was only sharing related hunting information.  What part of what I said did you not understand?

[Jburke]

I applied for the 4-0 Ranch as well.  I searched for an hour tonight trying to find if there was an access fee but came up short.  Here is a link to Wildlife refuges in the US, select WA and you will get the entire list, but 4-0 Ranch is not part of it.  Good information regardless.  Happy Hunting!

I guess I just missed the last part. Guess I just didn't see the relevance of the US wildlife refuge information regarding the 4-0 ranch.  Either way,  it has the potential to be a great hunt for those that draw.  Good luck in the draw to you.

Hunted it years ago, Old man Odom allowed hunting but when the son took over he shut it down. Then  he started allowing fee hunting and now the state is slowly buying it up. There is a back way into the area, from Pomeroy south over the main Mt Rd and down into Troy OR. When you hit the OR. border stay to the left and you'll hit the Grouse Flats part of the ranch. The Ranch starts at Cougar Ck on the east and runs to Grouse flats and in between you have Wenatchee  canyon.

I took a 5 pt with a ML when it was open to hunting, but it was N of the ranch.
