RE: Eastern Washington Goers...
If you don't yet have google earth....get it. But if you take 395 north, go west on Blue Creek Rd which turns into county road 9311, or go east on Moran creek rd. these are just a couple, the town is surounded with National Forest Land. Robb92 had a good idea too, I have been up there hunting for a while, but you will only really learn the area by driving around and hunting. all the county roads that lead over towards Ione have alot of good hunting, you just have to want it. take a look at my gallery you will see this years elk. good luck!
