I'm sure this has been hashed out but I cannot get the search to work.

Was wondering if you could access a open elk gmu by walking through a permit area gmu? Obviously not hunting in the permit area, would just shave off a bunch of hiking to the open gmu.

It would help if you are a little more clear on what you are asking.

What type of permit? Hunting? Access?
Who owns the land? State? Private Timber?
What GMUs?

I would do it. You can drive through closed GMU's to get to the open GMU. What's the difference? It's just a different mode of transportation.

When I hike in for the early modern firearm deer hunt, I'm hiking through a closed unit until I get to the wilderness boundary, and then I'm in the open unit. Same thing that you're talking about.

I'd do it but I would have my gun or bow unloaded and on my pack so they couldn't get any false ideas.

State land to state land. I can't find anything saying you can't do it.

Would be mire than willing to walk the warden to the gut pile in the open gmu....if I get one.

" I can't find anything saying you can't do it."

That's because there's no law against going for a walk in the woods.

Like benhuntin said, "If you're not hunting, you're not hunting."   :chuckle:  That about sums it up.

In your scenario, I don't see where anyone can say it's legal to cross when a permit IS REQUIRED to access the land. The permits would be for land access, not "hunting". I also think a local LEO would consider you hunting since you're carrying a weapon. I'd say your trespassing...

He wasn't asking about crossing private land that requires an access permit. The scenario was walking through a GMU that is not open for general season elk hunting to get to a GMU that is open for elk hunting.
