Title: Hunting near Enumclaw?
Post by: mr user on October 29, 2011, 02:13:20 PM: Im new to hunting on the west side, and I was wondering if there is any land to hunt legally near Enumclaw/chinook pass road. Can someone PM me the location a spot in the area if there is one? Im not looking to steal your spot, just looking for a legal area to find my own. Looking to hunt deer and possibly coyote there. Any help is appreciated.

Also, do u know anyhting about the area south of I-90 and east of HWY 18? I heard I could hunt this area, but I don't know anything about it really...

If you're after Elk though, it will matter. If I remember correctly, 653 is off limits for elk this year, at least for modern rifle. You'll have to go up far on the 70 system before you cross into 466. It also borders 485 and watershed boundries which is also off limits for the masses. Know before you go!
