GMU 101 Sherman Hunting Seasons

GMU 101

GMU 101 Sherman is one of my favorite places to hunt big game east of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. Lots of public land that is accessible with beautiful scenery and plentiful mule and white-tailed deer makes GMU 101 a great option to consider in your Eastern Washington hunting trip planning.
