Title: Feel Free To Hunt Area Moxee Valley
Post by: GlockGuy56 on October 16, 2017, 07:26:05 PM: Drove out to what I thought was a "Feel free to hunt" area tonight but I didn't see any signs posted on any sides of the property.

It was in Moxee valley Washington east of Yakima. Has anyone been out there recently? Also, how would I go about finding out if the area is still an area available to hunt on.

Thanks.

If I had a doubt, I would call the bio in charge of the program for that region.

Yeah I drove out there but I couldn't see a sign marked "feel free to hunt" just no trespassing signs around the area.

Looking on google earth there are cars there and presumably workers as well. I get the feeling this farmer is just taking advantage of a WDFW program.
