San Juan - Jones Island

[Theoutdoorsman]

Fairly new to state. Wondering if anyone hunted Jones Island? Per OnX it unit 410 which is open for archery. Seems to no residential there. I’ve been out around their time shrimp. Thinking a spot like this could be good to deer hunt as it’s a ways out there and only access is by boat. Anyway, would love to hear if it can be hunted and if so if anyone has hunted it. Thanks

The entire island is in a state park.

Got you. And can’t hunt state parks.

What about Lopez island? I see a place called Lopez hill for example. Anyone ever hunted this?

Use the search function for "Lopez"  ....   that should get you what you want.

Cypress island is mostly public

Public land hunting on the lands is a tough proposition but not impossible.  Check the maps, do a bit of research and then just go out and see what you can find.  It isn't likely that someone with a good spot will share it, but you never know.
