Updated 18 kapowsin permits left! 2-16-13
« on: February 03, 2013, 11:30:07 AM »
Can't believe I panicked when they went up for sale and I couldn't get on the site, I'm surprised they havn't sold out yet. I wonder if the low number of deer being seen last past couple years is starting to turn people away or the price? They need to sell out so we can see who gets drawn for the elk!!

Or maybe because the dry weather kept us out most of the season. In addition, the fire wood was so picked over. Unless you cheated which I saw several do, it's tough to pencil out the cost. Deer were far and few. New gate closures and economy. :twocents:

I personally think they should raise the amount of elk tags they give out, plenty enough bulls to allow 5 or 6 tags per weapon. I would think if they increased the tags for elk they would sell out pretty fast.

shhhhhh quit advertising it!  I'm still watching the count daily and still trying to decide whether I want one this year or not???  Crazy to think that I'm even considering not getting one!  Due to the reasons already stated, deer numbers are ridiculously low and the closure in August for bear almost every year is starting to get me down!  It's my sons first year hunting and the gates only 10 minutes away, that's the only reason why I'm even remotely still considering it.  Do all my deer hunting on the eastside but nice to have that late buck option up there.

That's the biggest catch for me, it being so close. Of course if I draw a special permit for deer this year then I would have just wasted 350.00, of course that's if I don't draw the elk permit.

the real reason why i think they havnt sold out is because kapowsin permits cant axcess the eatonville side this year plus all the other reasons stated above i bought white river permit this year because i didnt want to deal with the people in kapowsin speeding up behind you and flashing their lights telling you to move over  during modern deer season

Find a gated area and hunt it, you'll be much happier getting off those roads.

They will be flashing their lights at you at White River too along with riding your tail.....just not as many and many of them will be tribal as they always seem to be in a hurry to drive fast, cover ground and look for big white bodies in their 4 month elk hunt...................Good Luck.............Les

Land sales plus dropping Eatonville side reduce the appeal. 
Fire closures, less animals, closing sections for spring bear permits, raising permit fees. 

Looks like they've hit a price point vs. benefit level that makes a lot of us debate the $350

I use to buy one every year and my buck last season was cheaper even with the multi tag. I do miss being 10 min from the woods the boy and I would head in after i got off work just to kill some time.
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!

Not familiar with Kapowsin.  You guys pay $350 to access timber company land?
