Updated 18 kapowsin permits left! 2-16-13

[throttlejocky20]

I hope they dont sell out. Every year they change boundries, allow more permits, and raise prices. I understand making money and i have no issue paying to access land but i believe they are starting to get a little greedy. The last year i bought a permit was only to have a chance at the elk hunt. The odds of drawing that permit are terrible and $350 for the entry wasn't worth it. I hope someone on this site gets it so we can see some good horn porn, there is some absolut pigs in there!!!!!

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

Yes, it also enters you into a drawing for 1 of 6 permits they give out to hunt elk. If it wasn't for the elk drawing I wouldn't be buying this permit everyear. They give you a key so you come and go when you want, some rules when you can be in there. They will give you a map with rules and they have gated off walk in only areas, lots of land to find you own place away from people. But the deer number have seemed to go down the past few years.

I don't there's ever been a time when they didn't sell out? It will be curious to see if they do sell out, if they don't I wonder when they would do the elk drawing?

dont worry, if they sell out. they will just make more keys. you can only deplete a resource (in this case big bucks and bulls) so much . additional keys obviuosly mean more hunters and that has dropped the quality every year.

Agreed its not what it once was!

Down to 32! I bet they will sell out before our state permits go up for sale.

hmmm... you guys aren't making this sound too good? I picked up my first permit when they went on sale this year. I  figure I'll check out the land and see if it's worth investing in yearly. The elk draw was a motivator, and being so close I almost was forced into it. There's something to said for being minutes away from the woods. Good luck guys!

There is alot of animals in there but its not a garantee animal. You will have to scout and hunt hard to fill your tag with a decent buck!

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.

I bought one last year and didn't think it was all that it's cracked up to be. IMO, it's to much money for what you get out of it. Closing the Eatonville gates and poor wood cutting areas make the $350 hard to swallow.

Have you heard about the Indians wanting all rights to hunt elk behind Kapowsin gates ! Just one thing they don't want you to know.

Sure are some big bulls up there!  In the 70's my dad logged that country and saw the biggest bulls he has ever seen on the wetside.

Hancock has called there land NOT open and unclaimed land which has kept the indians out in the past. If they ever start hunting in there, it's all over and they won't be the only ones hunting elk in there. The mucks will slaughter the elk in there when they eventually own the place, I really don't believe they will be able to hunt in there until they buy it. It will be a very dark day when they buy Hancock.

If you don't think it could happen. Remember what happened to the Green River unit (485). Just like 485 they go through the state. Take a stand ! Don't buy one. Until they make it desirable again.

Theres so much more to the Hancock people' than you know. Besides the indians trying to accuire the elk rights.Hancock draws several forester elk permits each year for all Hancock employees and there familys . Oh ya ! you know that area your not able to access during the spring bear hunt. Thats right! employee only area! Wake up people! Just stay away until they change.

They all ready sold everythin between the 100 line and the lake to the indians. Who's to say they wont sell the rest!
