Selah Butte maybe, if you can afford to pay for access to the private land.
Umtanum might be okay as you might be able to shoot from near the highway, you'd just need a raft or boat to get across the river to get your sheep after you shot it.

Is the river or the road the boundary. Seriously asking because if the river is the boundary this could be very bad advice. Also not many rams in the canyon during the seasonSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then just call the WDFW and ask if it's legal to hunt with a rifle in that area. If they say yes, you're good to go. But seriously, I'm not sure I've ever seen a law that says you can't kill an animal in one GMU just because you happen to be standing in another GMU. I also happen to know that a sheep was killed in exactly the way I described. No legal issues occurred as a result of that sheep being shot in one unit by a hunter in another unit.

If so, then you are hunting at that location.
