That's good. I'm surprised, I thought King County was anti-hunting.

You better not shoot a shotgun there  :bdid:, everything south of hwy 203, raging river and hwy 18 is no firearms in King county...
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

If it's owned by King County it won't be developed. Maybe they're going to thin it out a bit. That would be a good thing for wildlife. But if King County owns it I doubt if it is legal to hunt there.

You need to figure out if the area you hunt is a "King County Natural Area". There is land owned by King County which you can hunt, but there are also areas designated as "Natural Areas" that are closed to hunting, basically a little county owned wildlife refuge. The county is drastically adding to it's natural areas so you need to check every season before you go out. For example, a lot of the land out by Ravensdale, Black Diamond, and Maple Valley is now a "Natural Area", even though just a couple years ago it was open to hunting. The King County Sheriffs Office enforces the natural area hunting restrictions heavily each season. Last opening day (for elk I believe) there were three sheriff deputies parked at one of the natural areas waiting for hunters to hike out.

You need to know your hunting area!!

Thats incorrect! Read page 67 of the big game regs.
Firearm Restriction Areas
The firearm restriction areas listed on this page have been established by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. Centerfire and rimfire rifles are not legal for hunting in these areas.

In firearm restriction areas, hunters may hunt only during the season allowed by their tag.

Archery tag holders may hunt during archery seasons with archery equipment.

Muzzleloader tag holders may hunt during muzzleloader seasons with muzzleloader equipment except in the GMU 652 restriction area outlined for King County.

Modern firearm tag holders may hunt during modern firearm seasons with bows and arrows, crossbows, muzzleloaders, or revolver-type handguns meeting equipment restrictions, or legal shotguns firing slugs or buckshot.

Bigtex is right if it's a King County Natural Area.  The natural areas fall under the Parks department rules and hunting is a BIG no no.  It is a bunch of crap but it's true.  The actual King County code goes as far as prohibiting the harming of an animals or shooting any projectiles on natural area property.  I've lost a bunch of property in the last five years that has been bought up by King County and turned into "natural areas."

Are you talking about a spot north East of Issaquah, if so it may be the same spot I used to hunt, and it is owned by Plum creek timber co.
