Hunting prospects

General season

GMU 124 (Mount Spokane) wraps the state park and foothills northeast of Spokane. It holds whitetail, but public ground is limited and pressure near the city is real; the honest play is the state-park and DNR blocks, hunting the timber edges away from trailheads and roads. Verify seasons, and note any state-park hunting restrictions, with WDFW and State Parks.
