Deer Hunting King County

[hntrspud]

Go up I-90 and hunt off of exit 38 or 43. Tinkham is one of the exits and the 38 is for fire training academy. There are alot of deer up there. Especially if you get out of the truck. If you are out of the restricted zone, there are no firearms restrictions. Dont go to denny creek area, unless you want to fight the yuppies. Hancock land is good, but alot of people road hunt it. So if you get the permit, go up to the spur 10 gate and park, hunt there.

If you're from ravensdale, there's a nice chunk of DNR land out by selleck. Bit of an uphill hike, but nice clear cuts on top. Can't miss the blue gate. It is 454 unrestricted.

Is it the blue gate that is right off where kent-kangley turns left into 346th Avenue? It is like a bright blue gate. Can I just park right there and walk in? Throw my WDFW Parking permit up in the dash and leave? And the piece of land is huge according to the Parcel Viewer. It goes deep into the woods where there is logging and everything. Looks like a decent hunting spot.

YUP! That's the spot. You actually need a discover pass to park there. The wdfw pass that comes with your hunting/fishing license is not valid there. Keep an eye out for watershed signs, I didn't come across any while I was out and about, but you don't wanna get caught in there.

Cool man. It looks like a good spot. And I got a discover pass so I will remember that. The Watershed isn't marked by a fence? I guess I will just watch out for it. It looks like you can go all the way back to the logging areas where the trees are small. Probably a good view point to try and find some nice animals.

i went to the fire academy years ago an there are TONS of deer up there as well as a VERY large black bear that hang out at the campus up there and we even had a large cat on the flam pad one evening. Just before ya get to the gate into the academy there are dirt roads on both sides of the paved road that go way back in the woods. dont know if ya can hunt up there or not but might be worth looking into. i would be interested to know what you find out also as an ol student of the academy.

i wouldn't go back there. To many kids go back there wheelin and just mess it all up. Can't go back there without finding a wheeling trail. I use to hunt there also but ever since those kids got back there the deer are few and far between.

The kids that go back there have stopped because the sheriff has been cracking down on that. The police helicopter flies over every night. I live in the area.

Are you talking about the north side of I-90?

Yes I am.

I guess you could do early morning because the gate to the Fire Academy closes around 5pm or so.

I used to walk up that road. It was tough going. I went there two years ago and found that the road was all washed out from land slides. almost impossible to traverse now. Check it out before you commit. You only have to walk in about 50 - 75 yards to see the devastation.

Another place you may want to look into is unit 466. It's not huge, and its more of a drive(over snoqualmie, then over stampede) but I took my buddy up there last year and got him his first buck.
