Copalis Permit Questions
« on: March 21, 2013, 08:29:07 PM »
I have a few questions and I was hoping someone who has had the permit before could help me out.
1. Will I be able to camp up in the woods with the Rayonier Permit? Or is there state land close by to camp on?
2. Can I bring guests in without them having a pass. (Filming the hunt for ZG Outdoors)
3. Will I be able to get in the property to scout before the season starts?

I know this permit is a tough one, but I am trying to do whatever I can to set my self up for success. With only being able to hunt weekends, I want to make the most of my time in the woods. Anyone who can answer these questions or help me out with some info would be greatly appreciated! I can't wait to get out there  :IBCOOL:

1. Yes. Some.
2. No.
3. Check with Rayonier.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

I thought I read something about a guest pass? I guess I could call their office but I work during their office hours and I'm planning the hunt now so I wanted quick answers  :chuckle:

PM me if you want info on the hunt I had permit last year i will give you some spots to start.  Wouldn't even worry about your buddy having a permit never saw anyone in there.  Yes you can camp on the property.

I had a guy check my permit when I was in there two years ago. He was driving around looking for wood poachers. He was real happy when I pointed him in the right direction.

I was checked and saw others checked in the two spring seasons I hunted there.

you should get a guest pass for your partner I was checked as well.  You get one guest pass with your paid pass so you won't have to pay for them as well.

So what do I do in a situation where I have one person with me one weekend and another on a different weekend. It will be tough to film myself so I will need a partner. I dont understand why you cant bring two people with you as long as they dont carry a weapon and they stay in your vehicle and not bring their own  :bash:

I too drew a copalis hunt this year and I've already bought my access permit.  As far as the scouting, I tried going today.   Every gate was closed and the only open gate had a large red dot.  I'm going to give them a call tomorrow to find out when I can scout.  From what I saw, its pretty thick and flat.  Maybe it'll look better once we get in there.

I understand that BigTex. Thats obvious  :rolleyes: Im just saying, they should let you get a couple guest passes as long as they dont hunt. It doesnt jurt anything.
