Is there any public land i this area at all? I cant seem to find any. I am not a trophy hunter, im hunting muzzy and just want some venison. Its my first year hunting here..Any advice??

the only land in the 652 unit that is huntable is farmers lands or a strip of land up behind rainier state school that is owned by hancock you could go up on the fs roads past greenwater or state land out past eatonville.
hancock owns all the land around here and if you dont have a permit you are screwed.

Ya thats what i thought... Any other GMUs close by worth hunting? ive scouted 510 but wish I had something a little closer to home for before and after work...I live in Puyallup.

you could go up behind enumclaw to 653 white river unit or 654 mashel on the state land by eble or ashford are your only close choices because of hancock i have the kapowsin pass if you want any info on hancock there website is www.hancockrecreationnw.com (http://www.hancockrecreationnw.com)

Ok thanks !! Ill look into them.

I might be wrong but looking at the reg's, 653, white river unit, is not open to muzzy for deer and permit only for elk.

You are correct. The entire unit is permit only for elk.

654 has some accessible public land and it really isnt that far from Puyallup. Skookumchuck isnt that far either.

if your just meat huntn vail is your best bet, when it comes to the puyallup unit you gotta really pay attention to the boundaries especially up around eatonvillebecause some roads are the mashel and some are the puyallup and when you get past a part of mt hwy its the skook...... but if your muzzy huntn for deer and dont care what you shoot i doubt you will have any problems finding somethn, how old are you if you dont mind me askn? if your a youth hunter i am sure i can help get somethn figured out for ya.
