Anybody ever hunted WA state

[AggieBowHunter09]

Looking at doing a public land hunt in Washington state and wondering if anybody here has done that before. Any info. would be helpful.

I am from Washington... What do you want to hunt.... Blacktail, whitetail or elk?

Sure have, 3 years worth.

Okanogan National Forest has 1 million public acres. Great trophy mule deer hunting......look up Parachute Meadows and then do some scouting. Should find a few excellent scenes near some of the natural "High Country Lakes" nearby. Might want to bring a fishing pole as well...some excellent cut throat trout fishing in the region.

Excellent blacktail deer hunting in the Olympic National Forest. Look along the Western shorelines of the Hood Canal near the town of Quilcene and then the scene further to the south toward the Dosewallips River. The hardwoods and mountains in that area is all leased to timber companies and it's wide open public access. There are several areas where you can drive in but those areas are typically hunted hard. You have to get out and hike in several miles or better yet, find logging access roads with gate locks. No ATVs are allowed but you can ride a mountain bike in as many miles you'r willing to go. The challenge, packing your prize out.........it's rugged hunting so make sure your in shape.

Here's my mule deer from the Okanogan National Forest 1999.
