hunting eastern washington

[Steveoko922]

Goodmorning from Western washington! I posting here to hopefully get some feedback from other members who hunt/shoot on the Eastside.

If you haven't already heard, they are looking to build a new international Airport in Western WA. There's a high chance I'm going the loose my home to the construction and am setting my sights Eastside. I have two children whom I want to give the opportunity to wander public land with muzzloader.

Where is a good place to move Eastside that is in close proximity to State Forest land and other public land? Cheap land? Fairly priced housing?

Thanks in advance,

-steve

Hadn't heard about a new airport in Western WA... But if I was looking to move East I would be looking Wenatchee, Twisp, Spokane...

Knowing what you or your spouse do for a living would help to direct you to nice areas where you could find employment and therefore which forests or state land might be closest.

Thanks for the info. No liberals in this household

Please forgive me. I read my own words and thought " Old Shepherd you sound like a bit of an Ass."
It was not meant to be. I wish you luck with your search.

I am planning a move out of state in the next year or so. If I was to stay in state I would move to Wenatchee or up in the NE Corner. I have always liked Colville.

An old friend of mine, now gone over, lived at Republic. He gave up deer hunting as there were very few deer in his area, which takes in some of the areas mentioned in posts above.

Lots of deer here around tenino. Never had a year I didn't get one.

Sounds like you are in the only “normal” area of that Beautiful State!

Lol I just moved from Tenino and you are correct

From Ellensburg, go SW 90 miles to goose berry flats. Up in the cascades.
Been using that spot since the 60s.

Wondering if you've found a new place yet. This is a rather old thread but I saw it andthought I'd throw out some info. I have 4 - 20 ac parcels for sale one with a 3 bed 2 ba house in the Okanogan Highlands between Okanogan and Twisp. I just can't keep up with the maintenance as my business is here in the Yelm area and I don't get over there as much as I'd like. Good Mulie migration in the winter, borders LOTS of DNR land. Fully gated at each end of acess road. Very privage but only 13 miles to Okanogan. About 20 to Twisp. Loup Loup ski bowl 7 miles away for fun family skiikng that's affordable. They groom many miles of cross country trails also. A very unique property. Parcels range from $100k to $180k. All but one have wells and power close. House at $495.
