Forest Service land up higher but most of the whitetail hang out at lower elevations on the private property. Maybe you can get lucky and get permission to hunt but my experience there is that most landowners in that area are not all that friendly. Good Luck

The only other unit open 124 Spokane mountain and by the look of my DNR maps its seems there is more public land in 105 .
