Washington Deer Hunting
Much of
Washington's best
deer hunting occurs in northeastern corner of
the state. Bearpaw Outfitters offer
guided and unguided hunts on several excellent
private land deer hunting ranches and public land
deer hunting hotspots in
Northeastern Washington. Bearpaw Outfitters have
been guiding deer hunters since 1978 in this area,
so they know the best areas for deer hunting in
this area.
Mule Deer and
Whitetail
Whitetails are
found at most elevations and are especially
abundant near farms and agriculture. Mule Deer
are found in the more arid or high mountain
areas.
There are high numbers of whitetail and also
some mule deer in this area. There have been
good quality bucks of both species taken in the
area, however there are more whitetail than mule
deer in the area.
Location and Terrain
Bearpaw
outfitters is located in NE Washington near Colville,
which is close to Idaho and British Columbia.
The game management units in this area offer Washington’s most productive
deer hunting.
The terrain
features valleys with agricultural fields and
the area has rolling mountains. There are also
plenty of
evergreen forests with clear cuts that also
provide feed and cover. This country is
fairly easy country to navigate as compared to
some of the Rocky Mountain States or western
Washington.
Hunting Methods
Hunters can hunt alfalfa fields,
timber clear-cuts,
watering areas, and travel routes. Spot and
stalk hunting is effective in some areas and
still hunting can also be effective.
Physical Condition
Physical condition is
not too necessary for hunting many of the
ranches. Anyone can enjoy a high degree of success
on the Ranch Hunts.
The Mountain Hunts are easier for hunters who
are more physically fit so if you want to do a
mountain hunt, try to be in good condition for
the hunt.
Hunting Areas
Private Ranches: The hunting leases range in size up to 2500
acres and offer excellent hunting with
high success rates. These hunting
leases are perfect for hunters with the patience
to sit and watch feeding areas. Limited hunting
is allowed on each property in order to
maintain quality.
Mountain Hunts:
Numerous mountain locations offer some
of the best trophy hunting in Washington.
There's not as many animals per square mile in
the Mountains as on the Ranches, but the trophy
potential is some of the best in the northwest.
These Mountain
Hunts are ideal for hunters who like
to cover a lot of country when hunting.
Guiding Options
Guided: Several guide ratios are offered that include accommodations,
guiding, and game care.
Semi-Guided: Hunt on your own, with
help in camp to advise hunting areas and assist
you with your game.
Unguided: Several unguided options are offered
with various accommodations,
hunting advice, and maps.
Accommodations
Lodge & Cabin: The facilities
are only 10 to 60 minutes from most
hunting areas and include meals in the dining room, pool table
in the den, indoor bathrooms, bunk beds in the cabins,
and a lighted game
cleaning area with water for cleanup. Groups of
up to 16 can be accommodated.
Motel “Town Hunts”:
Motels are only 10 to 60 minutes from most of
the
hunting areas. Bearpaw Outfitters provide all
hunters with their room. Guided hunters are
picked up and returned to their room each day.
Unguided hunters are given hunting advice and a
marked map to hunt areas. Meals are not included
so budget about $30 per day.
Licenses & Hunter Ed
Hunters of any age can
purchase hunting licenses over the counter. Youth
licenses are half price (even for non-resident
youth). First time hunters are allowed a one
time deferral from the Hunter Ed requirements.
All other hunters need Hunter Ed
if born after Jan 1, 1972.
Hunter Orange
Hunters must wear 400 square inches above the waist during rifle
deer, rifle elk, and Upland Bird
seasons.
Spokane Airport
The Airport is less than
2 hours from Bearpaw Outfitters. Check the
Resources Page for
flight and rental car info.
Driving Directions
From I-90 in Spokane
follow Hwy 395 north 70 miles to Colville, then
