Yotes in Auburn?

[nocklehead]

Hi I have a legal question....

A friend wants me to come kill yotes at his place, however I cant figure out what the laws are there...it looks to be in city limits, so Im doubtful that gun shooting is allowed, but possibly archery??

also need to know the laws on the greenbelt behind the property by the river

heres the address

5502 Jordan Ave SE in Auburn

any help?

Ya he is just barely inside the Auburn city limits, same goes for the greenbelt. Gun shooting is a no-go:

9.34.030 Discharge of firearms in city prohibited.
The entire area of the city is a “no shoot” area. It is unlawful to shoot or discharge any firearm, pistol, rifle or similar device anywhere within the corporate limits of the city other than for the purposes of exercising the rights specified in RCW 9A.16.020. For the purposes of this section, “pistol” and “rifle” shall include but are not limited to pellet guns, B-B guns, air-propelled guns and similar devices. (Ord. 5682 § 1, 2002.)

Your only option is archery.

It appears that the parcel between there and the river is owned by King County, so I doubt any kind of hunting would be legal there. Also it all seems to be a part of the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation. I don't know what affect that would have on the legalities of hunting there. Personally I wouldn't waste my time.

I just checked two sources and didn't see any county land 

You can hunt the private lands within the Muckleshoot Rez, just not tribal owned lands. And in this area the Rez isnt until you hit the river.

Okay, so he's got 6 acres to hunt coyotes on, with a bow. I guess if I was going to try it, I'd be baiting, and try to pattern them with a trail camera. Maybe set up a ground blind 30 yards or so from the bait. It won't be easy.

The "imap" on the King County Assessor's site shows a 100 acre parcel adjoining the 6 acre parcel at 5502 Jordan Avenue, on the east. The owner is listed as "King County - WLRD"

You could call them in with a caller or trap of your are able.  I have a bow and a caller, I would love to skewer some yotes!

Interesting just checked again and still not showing up, yet other areas I know are county owned are showing. It does show it as an area they want to purchase but they still do not own it.

Ya thats the one I was looking at. Still not owned by the county, they are simply wanting to purchase it. It would go to the "Water and Land Resources Division" which is separate from the County Parks Dept.

Then why does it show up on the King County site that I'm looking at as being owned by the county?

Who owns it according to the map you're using?

Either way, if it is King County ownership, can it be legally hunted?

King County Parks and Natural Areas cannot be hunted. This would go to the Waters and Lands Resources Division which isn't subject to that no hunting policy.

Go to this imap site to see King County Parks and Natural Areas: http://www.kingcounty.gov/operations/GIS/Maps/iMAP.aspx Click the parks option.

Back to your original question. Go to your "layers" section and select "King County Property Interests" which will now put blue triangles on some areas. If you zoom out to see the Green River area you will see the most of these areas are also shaded dark green. The areas that are dark green are current County park/resource lands, the areas that still have the slash marks and triangle but aren't shaded are not current county lands but ones they want to acquire.

I was under the impression baiting for yotes is illegal? Am I wrong? I dont yote hunt much except during big game...

But he's getting his farm animals messed with so I should give it a shot either way, I do have a caller btw, not sure how happy the neighbors would be about it but

The only thing you can't bait are bear and birds.
