If you hunt IEP timber land you need to get their permit, just google it to find it. In WA you will have to choose your weapon and can only hunt those seasons. Get out and scout up some bucks and get them patterned, you'll find them somewhere nearby come season time.

What weapon do you plan to hunt with. Lots of public land hour or two drive away.
