OLYMPIA – The state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s ban on target shooting on agency-managed lands in North-Central and Northeast Washington has been lifted.

“We welcome people to build campfires and responsibly sight in their hunting firearms on most of the lands we manage, but we continue to urge hunters, target shooters, campers, and all others heading outdoors to be cautious when doing activities that could spark a wildfire,” Lands Division Manager Cynthia Wilkerson said after the Oct. 1 reopening.

Some restrictions will remain in place in South-Central Washington, including a campfire ban through Oct. 15 at all agency-,managed wildlife areas in Yakima and Kittitas counties, she said. A campfire ban also remains in place through Oct. 31 at the Columbia Basin Wildlife Area in Grant and Adams counties and Klickitat Wildlife Area in Klickitat County.
