On The Ground
This heavily forested unit consists largely of state land, with small chunks of Muckleshoot Federal Corporation, timber companies, and isolated bits of Snoqualmie National Forest.
For the lucky few who draw this unit, hunting pressure is low.
Terrain
This unit holds steep old growth and secondary growth conifer forests which mellow out the further west you go. This small unit does have some unique terrain features to keep in mind such as large power lines that are clear cut below, winding train tracks, Green River and clear cutting at various ages of reclamation.
Roughly 141 square miles
30% public land
Elevations range from 1,200– 4,800 feet
Vegetation
Conifer forests of ponderosa pine, douglas fir and grand fir dominate the GMU with lots of secondary growth. Open areas offer native tender grasses, forbs, and buckbrush, with riparian habitat along the Green River.
Access
This unit offers decent public access and a decent series of unimproved roads, just watch for seasonal closures. There are large blocks of private land and they are significantly checkerboarded.
Highly broken land ownership with the largest continuous tract being state ground in the western portion
Limited to hunters with Special Permits
Camping and Lodging
Primitive camping on National Forest land is allowed during most of the year, but various fire bans and forest road closures may happen, so double check any restrictions or permits necessary prior to your trip. IF you are more interested in a bed and a shower and being closer to gas stations, restaurants, and a grocery store, your best options will be Covington and Maple Valley to the west.
