Kitsap would be the closest for you. That's where I live and hunt.
Are there WMA's there

.
On the Basemap tab in the upper right, pick public land. I'd look across(west) towards/past Port Townsend. DNR land is light orange, national forest - light green. Ignore the other colors as you will have to do a lot of research to determine whether you can hunt there or not. Zoom in to a spot, switch the basemap to aerial and topography to find the places you think look good.

If you don't want the hassle of private land, hit the National Forests- Olympic, Colville, Okanogan.
Those are the three I'd look at for the late archery season.

That's sad when westsiders can't even tell a fellow westsider where to hunt over there, you guys just send them east, plenty of national forest over there to hunt just funny how all the westsider people drive that far every season just to shoot a deer, I've just never gotten that I guess cause I don't drive 5 to 6 hours to go hunting kind of ridiculous if you ask anybody who live on the east side of the state lol
Three out of four posts suggested locations on the west side. What is your suggestion? Please don't post again unless you have something positive to say.

Mule Deer? Follow the flow of traffic to unit 250. Pick a canyon rd and get after it. A 4x4 with chains on all 4 tires is pretty much required if it gets any kind of snowy weather. Steep canyons, nasty roads plenty of people.
Blacktail? That's a tough hunt for the late season because it starts so late. You are mainly looking for logged units with clearcuts through out. That pretty much is all of western washingtons hunting units. Timber companies own a lot of the prime areas. Some access is free, some costs. Check with Hancock recreation or Weyerhaeuser recreation to see if there still access passes available for any of their areas.
Don't forget a Discovery Pass if your going to hunt State land you will get a ticket without it.

In Washington you can legally hunt everywhere, except where you can't. Sounds crazy but once you think it through it makes sense.

Are there WMA's there
WMAs?
And in the map above, alot of the white area is still timber company, so you can hunt in alot of it.

You can't tell a member not to post a comment because you don't like it bobcat. That's totally inappropriate for you to say that. He said nothing wrong.

I sure can, and no it's not inappropriate for me to ask him to only post if he has something positive to say.
I'll be doing the same with any more of these east versus west type of posts that I see. I realize there have recently been plenty of others just like it, or worse, that didn't get a warning and didn't get removed. But that's only because I've been busy with hunting season.

WMA probably = wildlife management area
and if you are not from here and not accustomed to our land areas and the way its divided it can be hard to sort out what can and cannot be hunted. The map posted earlier with the notations about state and forest lands is a good start. I actually would not suggest going east unless you have someone to go east with because the land over there can be even more confusing depending where you go.
I would say try Kitsap as suggested or even Olympic Peninsula. Whidbey from my understanding doesn't have much public land. Skagit county has lots but I have no idea where it is I dont have maps for this part of the state.

Sorry Injun kid - IMO - I don't think any of the east side businesses and people that benefit monetarily from the west side guys going over there to hunt deer and elk think that it is ridiculous for them to do so. I think they'd be unhappy to loose the business if they didn't.

Yes a WMA is a wildlife management area. what us east coast guy call public land.

Yeah man do tell. I am all about getting on some good spots. for the past five years I have had great honey holes and helped many many people with finding deer. even lost a few bruisers to my buddies. But, it is great to be apart of other pepoles successful hunts even if it isn't my harvest.

There might be a bit. Most of it is timber companies which is basically open.

Well I'm not the one that wrote the treaty's lol, funny how you say we killed everything on our reservations there are still Indians out there that kill only what they need to survive on, but thanks for caring about the reservation and I think we got it covered on managing our animals and wolves, something you guys need to work on because there is plenty of game on the Rez

No reason to be jealous about it, and If I was coming off like you said I was well your wrong pal, also I respect my elders for all they have done in the past, that is why I only take what I need from our reservation

It's pointless and will have no good resolution. You're not going to change his mind, and he obviously is not old enough or experienced enough in life to understand the bigger picture that exists outside his little world. Leave him alone and give him a few years to grow up.
