Hunting prospects
General + draw permits
GMU 364 (Rimrock) surrounds Rimrock Lake and the Tieton River drainage west of Yakima — nearly all national forest in the heart of the Yakima elk herd's range. Hunt the timber-and-meadow edges, old burns, and roadless pockets, and expect elk to shift with pressure. Elk mix general spike with permit antlerless hunts — confirm the current WDFW seasons before hunting.
