But there are others that you can walk behind the gates and hunt. Those gates will usually have a sign on them or near them(on a tree), that will read "no motorized access, no target shooting. shooting only in accordance with wdfw hunting regulations"(meaning you can hunt and kill game). Also, there are some people who have keys to the gates and have permission to drive around in there, so dont be surprised if you see someone driving.
Good luck with your bear hunting!

I've done my share of biking behind a few out there with zero problems. If you see a hunter on a red Gary Fisher, that'd be me, stop me and we'll chew the fat.
