how do you figure out hunting zones?

[police women of America]

I'm new to hunting so I really need to figure out deer hunting zones. Do I get a map? I have looked everywhere but I can't figure it out. Thanks.

You need to look at the Game Management Unit map in the hunting regulations. If you don't have a copy, they are available at most sporting goods stores. (Walmart should have them)

Or here is a link to the GMU map:

What part of the state are you interested in hunting?

In addition, these can be helpfull as well.

Also, have you taken a hunter education course? It's required in order to purchase a hunting license, and many of your questions will be answered there.

benchmark maps has a Washington road recreation atlas. which works pretty good. a good gps does it to.

NOT everyone needs to have taken the Hunters Safety education course to purchase a license

True, if you were born before January 1, 1972 you don't need it.

But I was assuming the OP was not that old.

OnX hunt maps app for iphone or android. It's like 35$. If you sign up for RMEF now I think they still have a promo to get a free subscription to the maps.

on wdfw site, you can go to the go hunt interactive map section and overlay GMU boundaries with roads. if you zoom in, you can clearly see boundary lines.
