Which is another thing that having a small game license might help.

And suppressor ;)

I've seen it also stated on placards at the parking areas of many WMAs but can't recall if I've seen it at all of them. I also want to say WMAs are not open to hunting when there are no open seasons on game animals though that may have been specific to certain WMAs. .


Sept 1st to end of Feb for hunting unprotected animals in last years manual.

You are correct on the target shooting.

Wouldn't work if you brought in any kind of targets. Shooting "targets of opportunity" such as dirt clods, tree stumps, and the like might get you a talking to and extra scrutiny after being noticed.

WMAs get trashed enough as it is, I wouldn't want more "junk" out there for any reason. There are some places such as Chengwatana that have informal shooting areas, I would prefer to see these used rather than WMAs and other places that get enough trashed dumped in them.

Almost all state forests are open to target shooting, Sand Dunes being one that I know is closed to shooting. Chengwatana is a popular (typically busy) spot. My favorite is a fantastic gravel pit in Solana state forest off Hwy 65, north of McGrath.

I've never applied any filters to the map, I just look for the light green land that is state forest, look at the legend.
