No, Turnbull is a refuge.

most refuges i know of allow hunting but usually only with shotguns, so couldnt a guy hunt them with a 12 gauge and slugs?

Some national wildlife refuges allow hunting, other's don't. Turnbull is one that doesn't. I know the WDFW has been working at getting them to change that policy but I doubt they will have any luck.

Like Bobcat said, they are working on it but I think its highly doubtful they can convince the refuge to go with it. The farmers around the refuge see them as extra money, but when the hunting starts the elk hit the refuge. There is a small bit of state land that can be hunted, but Ive only seen elk in there 2 times so its pretty hit and miss. BTW that whole Cheney area has some HUGE bulls. All due to lack of hunting acess.

Head North around the Huckleberry Unit.  Small pockets of Elk can be found if your willing to look around. Lots of private land but there are some good public areas also.  Much less Elk hunter pressure. If your serious about hunting anywhere around the Spokane area you should make a big batch of Peanut Brittle and start knocking on doors and making friends. 

Good luck
