If you look at the actual property boundaries though you can see that the parks and rec dept actually only owns a small portion of the land, and the rest is owned by Whatcom county proper. I also spoke with the Whatcom county assessor who couldn't actually give me a conclusive answer on the subject and referred me to WDFW. Bottom line in my opinion is that this is still an area where hunting could/should be allowed if we play our cards right. I have read the entire reconveyance plan as well and nowhere does it specifically prohibit, or even address hunting. I would love to get a group of hunters together to discuss this further to figure out some action to ensure we are allowed to hunt this land.
