Title: Sealah Butte sheep and Hangman moose
Post by: sagerat on November 25, 2007, 01:38:42 PM: I was looking into these areas recently and my maps show them both being almost all private land. Does anyone know much about this? I'd hate to draw a lifetime tag and start facing access issues.

Alright, then it was Umtanum that I was checking out before. I couldn't remember which side of the river was which unit.

Post by: bobcat on November 25, 2007, 04:54:44 PM: No, I'm pretty sure good hunting can be had on the public part of the unit. Otherwise the WDFW would have some sort of warning in the regs stating that there was no public access.
