The way I understand it deer areas are usually different boundaries and often smaller in size than a GMU, the reason for the deer areas is to allow hunting during a special season within a specific area that has different boundaries than a GMU.
I don't know those GMU's so someone else will have to offer help with that.

Thanks for the info bearpaw! I didn't know if it corresponded to WDFW's game statistics or what.
Anyways, now a lot of my plans are up in the air because all the tree farms are closed for extreme fire danger. I am assuming that this will push most of the already overcrowded hunters that were planning to hunt in those areas into the surrounding DNR land in areas 667, 654, and 653. It sounds like going east over the mountains (which was my other idea) is kinda the same story. Not sure where to go now. Any help on even just an area that is somewhat open and unaffected by the fire closures that I could hunt for deer in would be appreciated.

I'm still going if you want to go

Thanks to Gasman I'm on my way to get checked in on JBLM to gain access for some new duck hunting grounds!
But, I'm still looking for some public land to jump shoot or to set out a few decoys to get my kids into waterfowl hunting! They are very excited to learn how to call and be part of the experience that I get to enjoy every year! So any additional info on public or private, would be greatly appreciated. I live in Puyallup and I'm willing to do some home work to make things happen for them!
I'm not hunting the opener this year and usually go out on the Delta with my buddies but I need to change what I do now that my kids are getting older and taking a interest in it as well.
Thanks Paul

JBLM late season is awesome for waterfowl, can get crowded at times but worth it. Good luck to ya, im headed out to fight the crowds this weekend out there.

I'm hoping for the best. We got 5 pushers for him and can likely rouse something up for him to get unless the bucks are way up high.
I'll report in on Sunday night or Monday as to our success or otherwise. :)

There are a few good places I can think of around shelton that would be good for your dad. Problem is they are all locked up currently but they will open soon with some rain. If your dad is a good shot (seems like most are) and patient I think he could have a decent chance at something. If you still need help after the weekend shoot me a PM I've got one spot in particular I'm thinkin of that would be awesome for him. It's one of my sit and watch after work but don't feel like walking spots, and a good one.
