Hancock permit bought today!

[elkaddict652]

So I broke down under the advice of my hunting partner and bought a Hancock pass for the snoqualmie area. Anybody else out there doing the same thing? Also wondering what anybody saw in this area while hunting this year?!!

Good amount of deer, lots of bear, lots of cougars, lots of WDFW Officers  . As far as elk, well they are mainly in the Snoqualmie Tree farm during the summer time. By the time the season starts in September they have mainly moved down to the pastures. There are always a few stragglers up there in the fall, but definitely not as many as in the summer time.

Thinking about purchasing one myself. However I must not be on the correct website as they state none are available.

Online it says they have 854 permits for motorized left. They upped it to a 1000 this year. Must be trying to make up lost revenue

I agree. I saw the same thing!

[G.R.K]

Those were 2013 permits.2014 went on sale yesterday 

[Hawgdawg]

Better hurry and fill your firewood tags. Will be shut down for fire danger in a couple weeks........

had the Snoq-Hancock permit the last 3 years.
never checked by a game agent but I'm out away from the truck in the bush hunting most of the day anyways. Drive the roads like most and you'll meet them.
However I will not buy the motorized permit for 2014.
area losing value for me, just MHO.

Been good for late archery buck deer, at least for the 2nd rut period around turkey day. After that 2nd rut is over, tough pickings and tough sighting the bigger bucks. they just disappear into their remote core areas which are hard to access.

Only elk I see in there were summers as mentioned or early spring. And very few of those from my experience. But I hunt elk on the dry side.

several cougars on game cams in 5 different areas. So I think the cat population there is pretty much unchecked. Viewed a couple cats while I was sitting in a treestand for late archery. Glad to have my SW 357 mag holstered on my belt but cats were out of range anyways. This year I came across two different cougar traps, both baited with 1/2 deer carcass. Just for interest, I took a peek at these traps each time in for late archery, but no cats caught in the traps on my observance.

but due to heavy muzzleloader pressure for late November-early December & constant road hunters, get off the roads into the thick stuff & pockets and you'll see deer. Just because its private now doesn't make it easy. Especially with 1000 motorized permits available.

I know Hancock didn't switch the numbers for Snoqualmie till about noon yesterday.

I do not know if  it is true ,but I heard yesterday that the Indians did or were going to purchase the Kapowsin Hancock holdings??

Sorry for your loss in the Snoqualmie permit.

I can confirm also seeing a cougar trap, never a big cat in real the flesh though. I saw a bobby crossing the main-line once.

There is plenty of wildlife in there. Being close to 100k acres, it doesn't take much to get away from the crowds; you just have to put some miles behind you. I wouldn't hunt elk there, only seen them in the spring.

I figure spend the $ on firewood, everything else is bonus. Factoring how much $ is spent on fuel driving around on logging roads, $250 really isn't that much (then again I only get 10 mpg). I've literally put hundreds of miles on my rig exploring in there, there is so much diversity in landscape; you can find what you need.

They bought the White River Tree Farm last month. They already purchased a small portion of the Kapowsin Tree Farm (last year I believe). And they hunt the Snoqualmie Tree Farm

The cougar traps are for the cougar study they have going on in there. They are set out by the biologist.
