Stag Camp - Predator

Stag Camp offers private coyote and bobcat hunting on 130 acres in the Aeneas Valley near Tonasket, in Okanogan County, Washington. The property sits in GMU 204 (Okanogan East), with thousands of acres of Okanogan National Forest just minutes away feeding a steady flow of predators onto the ground.

Open meadows give you room to work a call and watch animals come in, while the conifer timber edges are where coyotes and cats slip out of cover. You can set up as many stands as you like and move around the property throughout your hunt, so you can play the wind and cover new ground between sets.

County roads lead to a gated entrance with designated parking, and ATVs are welcome on existing two tracks. Your group of up to 4 hunters has the property to itself. Bring your own calls, decoys, and gear.

Hunts are booked as 1 day and priced per person. No draw or tag is needed. A Washington small game license covers both coyote and bobcat, and a big game license also covers coyote. Tonasket has lodging, food, and supplies, and Not Doug’s restaurant is about a mile up the road.

The Okanogan is strong predator country, and Stag Camp’s mix of meadow and conifer timber puts you right where coyotes and bobcats hunt. Coyotes are active on the property year round, and recent sightings show plenty of them moving through. The meadows make natural calling areas with good visibility, and the timber edges give approaching animals the cover they want, which brings them into range. Bobcats are elusive cats that stick to the timber and brushy edges, so slow, patient sets along the treeline give you the best chance at one. The surrounding Okanogan National Forest keeps new animals moving onto the property, so a set that is quiet one day can be productive the next. Winter is a prime time to hunt. Fur is at its best, snow makes tracks easy to read, and hungry predators respond well to distress calls.

Coyote hunting is open year round in Washington with no bag limit. Bobcat season runs from early fall through mid March, also with no bag limit. Late fall through winter is prime time for both, when fur is thick and predators respond well to calling. Night hunting has seasonal restrictions during the fall deer and elk rifle seasons. Season dates can change, so check current dates with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife at wdfw.wa.gov before you book.

You need a Washington small game hunting license to hunt bobcat. Coyote can be hunted with either a small game or a big game license. Both licenses are sold over the counter to residents and nonresidents, and no tags or applications are needed. Bobcats may not be hunted with dogs, and any bobcat you harvest must be sealed by WDFW. Plan to keep the pelt unfrozen and remove the lower jaw for submission, which is required for sealing. Small game hunters must also report their hunting activity to WDFW each year. Licenses and full regulations are available at wdfw.wa.gov.

Your reservation fee is due at booking and is non-refundable. 100% of the outdoorsman fee is charged 14 days before your hunt.
