Both deer and elk continue to be managed with liberal seasons designed to reduce road kills and human wildlife conflicts. Most of this unit is privately owned and hunters should be mindful of safety concerns and firearm restrictions. Preseason scouting and gaining access to private lands is paramount as approximately 90% of the unit is privately owned. The very western edges offer larger, more continuous tracts, and include state, city, parks, Muckleshoot and state forest land. There are hunting opportunities within this largely populated GMU for those willing to do some preseason planning.

Getting access to prime private ground is getting harder. This is a good unit for tree stand hunting with a bow.
