WDFW Private Land Access Hunting Programs - (last update 2018)Are you a hunter who doesn't know where to go hunting. There is a long list of properties that hunters have access to in Washington. I am familiar with numerous properties in these programs, there are some quality hunting opportunities available to hunters. If you don't know where to go hunting these properties can be a good place to start.
Types of Private Lands Accesshttps://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/locations/private-lands#The following are the types of hunting programs available on private lands where hunting is possible in Washington. Different agreements with landowners mean differing requirements to hunt on those lands. Please make sure to obey all posted signage and any directions that are available on the website for specific properties. In some cases, landowners may have specific information or requests for hunters. This information will be posted on the website under the specific property. Hunters should ensure that they are aware of all restrictions, directions or information prior to hunting on private lands. To see all properties and for more information about signage on private hunting lands, use the links visit the private hunting lands website and the various programs.

Hunt by Written Permission Landshttps://privatelands.wdfw.wa.gov/private_lands/type/24/Private lands where hunters must contact the landowner to obtain "written permission" before hunting on their property. WDFW provides signages and perforated permission slips to landowners who make their lands available through this program. A landowner name and contact telephone number are placed on the hunt by written permission signs so hunters can contact the appropriate landowner for permission. In some cases, contacting the local Private Lands Biologist may be necessary.
The Hunt by Written Permission program is our most popular program for landowners. It is also the most restrictive, and places control in the hands of the landowner. Hunters are required to carry their half of the permission slip on their person at all times while they are hunting on the property. Landowners enrolled in this program are also required to submit all of their permission slips to the local private lands biologist at the end of the hunting season. Huntable species, overall access and other restrictions will vary and are at the discretion of the landowner. List of Properties and the county where they are located:

Hunt by Reservation Landshttps://privatelands.wdfw.wa.gov/private_lands/type/56/The Hunt by Reservation System requires hunters to create an online account using their WILD ID. Properties enrolled in the Hunt by Reservation Program require an advance reservation permit issued through the online reservation system.
Permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis and reservation dates become available two weeks out from the day of the hunt promptly at 8 a.m. Permits provided to hunters through the reservation system are required to be left on the dash of the vehicle near the identified access point.
It is important that hunters pay attention to the specific information for each property. Some properties allow access to entire parcels, while others restrict the reservation to a single blind. Some properties also allow group reservations, while others only allow single reservations. Please pay attention to the information listed on the website. In some cases, landowner contact may also be required. All rules of the WDFW Hunt by Reservation Program must be followed in addition to any special rules for the individual property including those posted at the site.
Upgrades to the reservation system are planned for 2019. WDFW Private Lands Staff are eager to provide a better customer service experience through an upgraded system, while also maintaining public access and continuing to meet landowner needs. For questions related to the Hunt by Reservation system, please contact the Wildlife Program customer service desk at 360-902-2515 or via email at wildthing@dfw.wa.gov.
