WA Mule Deer Unit 642 — Copalis

WA 642 – Copalis: Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Copalis is a low-elevation coastal unit (below 650 ft) spanning nearly 178,000 acres of western Washington terrain. Public land comprises only 20% of the unit, meaning the majority is private—primarily timber company holdings. Access to public parcels requires either permission or a willingness to hike from gated boundaries; many private tracts demand paid trespass fees. The low elevation supports productive blacktail habitat typical of western Washington's western slope, but the fragmented ownership pattern creates a significant access puzzle for hunters unfamiliar with the landscape.
