Title: Rifle hunting in Markworth Forest: is it legal?
Post by: DavidBorland on July 08, 2016, 10:27:13 PM: I've been trying to find out if I can head in with my rifle to Markworth forest outside duvall and am having trouble discerning if I am able to head in there for Modern Firearm season. What throws me is I've seens some signs around it (or at least pictures) that say "NO SHOOTING", however http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01817/wdfw01817.pdf mentions that you can get road accessabilty passes for hunting there. Does anyone have and insight on this issue?

Thanks!
