I've read and heard of birds out near the town of Rainier up Johnson Creek Road. There is supposed to be a decent population of birds out there but mostly on private land from what I have gathered. There are also a few birds on Fort Lewis in the Rainier training area but I don't know if they are allowing civilians to hunt on base, and from what I hear that flock of birds isn't real big to begin with. I also have heard on the Peninsula near the upper portion of the Wynoochee there is a real good flock of birds but they are hard to get to.

I have done some scouting for the birds in the Johnson Creek and Fort Lewis areas and haven't had much success. I hope you are more successful at westside toms than I have been.
