Kapowsin - Spring 2013

when you buy your pass you will recieve your wood tags for your 5 cords, there are maps at the gates for the years wood cutting areas

Id be willing to show a spring bear pass holder some spots if interested. Ive gotten the yearly pass as far back as i can remember. I haven't done any scouting yet this year but i know where ive seen bears in the past. So if ur cool with someone new riding along with you send me a pm.

I saw more bears out there last year during deer season than I ever have.

Gonna be hunting the "southside" of the tree farm according to the document i just received in the mail.

With the spring bear access permit can you take a buddy with you? I know that isn't an option with the regular pass.

[Bob Williams1]

Its another 100.00 bucks! The only thing i don't know is if you can buy that second 100 dollar pass and use for this buddy and then that buddy etc... Or does it have to be "issued" to a certain individual and only THAT person can use it.. I mean the only hunter is the permit holder why should they really care who is with you as long as everybody  in the truck has a permit.

They're probably a whole laundry list of legal reasons why they need to know who's on the property at all times, but i kind of thought the daily sign in would cover that.. I dunno

All i know is i am starting to get stoked and need to get up to Tacoma Sportsman and site in the new 300!

Also seriously considering and early morning road trip to Moses Lake area and see if any dogs will come to the Foxpro

I think she's ready to do work in the field.

200 yards with the Savage 300 win mag sprinkle in some Savage 22-250 and you've got a real dead critter!

Today was the first day with the 300... it was set about 3" low at a 100yrds. so  pulled it up to about +1" at a 100 and the down range at 200 was pretty good!

The orange and black target is all 22-250...... The 22-250 is a great gun and very subtle after shooting the 300.

Great day at the range with sunshine and gun powder in the air.. Only a couple things i like more then that

Yea, I got wound up about doing the spring hunt right up to the cash deposit, that busted it for me. If they want hunters to thin bears, then open the gates. I guess from where I'm sitting, when a timber company pays only pennies for property taxes I feel they owe the rest of the state citizens at least free recreational access. Somewhere out there in Kapowsin one bear more than what would have been, or they just have to pay a trapper to remove it.

I'll just take a fat one in the fall instead.

So if I'm reading your post correct, you applied for the spring permit. Was selected. now you find out you have to pay to enter, but won't.

Did you read the reg's before you entered? I don't get it. Why waste your time, money, points and the tag?

[Goshawk]

Nope, I messed up and did not read the print in my rush to get the drawing done on time. It was my first attempt at a spring draw, so I never realized it was a pay to hunt situation. My points, My mistake.

Heading up to Kapowsin within the hour!! Should be a nice sunny day for a hike with a gun in my hand if nothin else.

I guess... but it's also the tag a bunch of other people would have liked to had, and didn't get drawn. .. so you not reading the regs kind of jacked another guy up too. But, then you aren't alone as I've heard of several people who never wanted to bear hunt, they just wanted the $100 access to hunt sheds for a couple months..
