Looking for access to ANY public land for late season archery
« on: December 28, 2020, 07:20:20 PM »
I am really hoping someone may know where i could go for late season Archery.  I drove around unit 407 all day today unable to find a single access point.  I have never hunted Western WA and would really like to try and get a deer this year.  I am willing to go wherever I need to that has somewhere i could camp then hunt.  Please feel free to PM me if you can give me any help at all.  Not looking for anyone's favorite spot, just somewhere i could go and hopefully harvest a deer.  Thank you.

Thanks, ill take a look at these areas. I had no idea it was so difficult to find somewhere to hunt on the West. A major bummer.

I have Onx, and know where the public land is at, but I cant get access. Everywhere I go in 407 specifically was blocked off.

There are plenty of "access points" in 407. 99% are gated due to trash dumping, timber theft, logging equipment vandalism, etc....  I get the impression  you're looking for a road hunting opportunity??? If so, you're kinda screwed I'm afraid.

Also, as someone else indicated, if you elect to camp or leave your vehicle at a gate, be advised that there is no shortage of scum that are looking for an opportunity to snatch and grab. Dont leave anything valuable
