- Tracking wounded deer is very unpopular on this tiny residential island




Shaw is a smaller island tucked in between the larger surrounding island in the Salish Sea. This Island is predominately privately held with the University of Washington being a large landowner. There is some hunting opportunity within this small GMU, however, the style of hunt is certainly not for everyone. If you’re looking for best private land access, presentation is key, some folks don’t mind if a few pesky deer eating their garden are hunted.
Most of the resident citizens of the island enjoy the deer and may be hard to receive hunting permissions from.
