I know you can't hunt on Haskell Hill Rd., as well as developments. Otherwise hunting is allowed. Shotgoun, muzzle loader, or bow only.

You have to find someone on the island to give permission, its all private.

Actually a timber company owns about 1/3 of the island. That's where most people hunt. If you go to Harstine, just park near the orange metal gates. That's the Manke Timber Company property. Also, last time I knew it was okay to hunt on property that had no signs on Harstine. Private or not.

Bad advice. Try explaining that one to the judge. Do your research and obtain permission to hunt on any private land. It is your responsiblilty to know where you are, not the land owners responsibility to post their property.

Actually the land has to be posted, improved or cultivated to be charged with tresspassing.  I'm not advocating tresspass and agree with Iceman you should find the property owner and obtain permission, but if it is not posted, improved or cultivated you cannot be charged with tresspass....98% sure of this.

Not true we were hunting in Colville a couple years ago and one guy in our hunting party went into some trees that were not posted improved or cultivated and shot a nice buck. After he sot it other guy's that were hunting in there came out and told him it was private property and called the police he got a $600 criminal trespassing ticket and mandatory court date

This is from the hunting pamplet:

Private Lands
It is unlawful to trespass. State hunting
regulations apply to hunting private land, but do not
guarantee access. Entry onto any lands which are
fenced, posted, cultivated, or used for commercial
agricultural crops or aquaculture without permission
is considered trespass. Some private landowners
(individuals or corporations) have chosen to deny
access to, or across, their property. Check with
landowners before entering their property. It is
always best to obtain landowner permission before
entering private property.
It is unlawful to:
Hunt in areas posted with Hunting Only by
Written Permission without a permission card
signed by the landowner on your person.
Hunt or shoot behind a Safety Zone sign.
Operate a motor vehicle (including ORVs)
behind a No Unauthorized Vehicles sign
unless specifically authorized by the
landowner under the Regulated Access
Cooperative Agreement with the WDFW.

Your friend must have done something besides just shooting a animal in someones woods, if it's not posted, fenced, cultivated etc.. he can be asked to leave, now if he refused because he wanted his animal then yes he could be charged.  But if your out walking in the woods and end up on private property that is none of the above you cannot be charged.
