Deer Hunting King County
« on: August 14, 2013, 02:53:56 PM »
So this is my first year hunting. I have two possible farms that I might be able to hunt (still waiting to hear back from the owners). I am wondering if anybody knows some grounds that are okay to hunt. Any open DNR logging lands or anywhere that I can park my car and hike in and hunt. I am hunting with my 30-06 and I'm pretty sure I got all the right gear, just now looking for more legal places to hunt. Any information helps...
Thanks

I don't know too many places to send you, but make sure where ever you go, you're out of the firearms restricted areas in King Co. if you're hunting with your aught-6.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Yeah I got the no shooting zone map of king county. Mostly just need land that is legal to be on. I'm not exactly sure what logging land I can be on and what I can't be on. That would be helpful.

Head out to 460 (snoq tree farm)...plenty of space.  That's where I'm going anyway.

You'll fare better if you ride a mt. bike in.  I was told by an esteemed gentleman on this board that hancock keys work at entrance gates only.  Which means, if are willing to bike behind a gate within the farm, there is a chance that road hunters will not be there.

Make sure you have your non-motorized permit for the tree farm...
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

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.

That's the Hancock area, correct?

Doesn't king county go all the way to the top of the pass on I -90? Seems like there should be tons of forest land up that way.

Do you know for sure it is legal to hunt on? Any idea if there are any maps?

Yes I'm 100% sure. Its DNR land. It says no shooting except as permitted per wdfw regs. Google maps satellite view will give you an idea of the area. Also king county parcel viewer to determine where the private property borders it.

If this is the spot I'm thinking, it's a pumpkin patch smaller than the Tiger mt area ya can't even fart in. I'd probably try up I-90 or 410. Good luck

Lol good to know. I only stumbled across it last year during elk season and cat season. Many many years ago I used to 4wheel out there.
