Title: Feel Free To Hunt Land GMU 578
Post by: BowForElk on September 13, 2013, 11:05:01 PM: So I got on GoHunt and was looking around for some FFTH land that was relatively near me (Rochester)

I found the little green diamond just west of Glenwood at the end of Draper Springs Rd.

It says there is 34,286 acres to hunt Big Game and Upland Birds. I was looking some more and its entirely surround by the Yakima Res. I tried looking it up to find the land owner but it didnt have that feature on the website (or I couldnt find it?)

My question is, is that good to hunt? Im not native nor have I hunted on Reservation land. I guess Im just kind of unsure about it all. I only hunt on timber co land so this is all new to me.

Anybody hunted there before can fill me in? Should I just go and hunt it?

Why is that?

Post by: BowForElk on September 14, 2013, 02:41:57 PM: I will give wdfw a call and see what they say. It's on the go hunt maps so I would assume it's all good but you know what happens when you assume things...

as far as I know the only hunting allowed on the Yakima reservation is in the lower Yakima valley and it is only for upland birds and waterfowl. The area around Adams is a closed area I believe
