Tons of public ground opportunities.
Not certain I’d say tons of animals, unless you are referring to predators.
What unit is that...as in number?
Your best bet to find access is to drive the units and jot down phone #’s on the “hunt by written permission” signs. Call them and see what happens. That or find a place to hunt public in Lick Creek. There’s a lot less deer though unfortunately. Your best bet for finding a quality buck will be on private ground in the farm country. There is also some hunt by reservation land through the state too. Get on the Wdfw site to figure the ins and outs of that out.
