In December 2013 WDFW signed an agreement with State Parks which will essentially hand over the enforcement responsibility of enforcing the WDFW/Discover Pass at the Oak Creek Wildlife Area from 12/2013 to 03/2014.

There was a post on here last year about a State Park Ranger citing people at Oak Creek for no pass, even though the Ranger wasn't on State Park lands.. Such agreements allow this to happen.

The Idiot Pass didn't exist last time I visited the Oak Creek feeding station.  I guess I've made my last trip there.  I will not buy the Idiot Pass.

Maybe I'll make up a rule that government employees who park on my property without a Band Pass (modestly priced at $200) will be cited and fined $1,000.  Why not? :dunno:

Does the WDFW acess pass allow you to go there?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Yes.

It is a WDFW Wildlife Area. State Parks will simply be doing the pass enforcement.

I think we got a free one with our hunting licenses, or is this a different pass?  :dunno:

I'm talking about the Discover Pass, which you have to pay for.  The problem is that there are so many "cash grab" passes that a person needs to buy every pass he can find, display them all just in case one or more of them is required somewhere out in the woods on public land, and hope he doesn't get cited.

You get a WDFW pass with your hunting licenses, but it does not cover everything. Just hunting/fishing spots. Discover pass is another 30 bones a year and covers most recreation spots. I think state parks and forests. But not national parks or forests.

If you are hunting on DNR lands you still need the Discover Pass. The WDFW pass is only applicable on WDFW lands.

Wonder if the elk will even need to come down this year?

As far as the pass goes they should make two passes
 One state one federal instead of the multitude there is now.
If its brown knock it down

was there last year at "elk feeding 1:30" and a STATE PARK rig shows up for the feeding hour and starts writing down license plates and slapping fliers on cars.  There is no way to buy a DP at the site.  So I confronted the employee to see is she was up too--passing out tickets, or information.  Both (mostly info) I think she might have been selling them too.

You can hunt on DNR lands without a discover pass if you don't drive on DNR land. Is that correct??   So you could park on the highway and walk into the feeding area without a pass...correct?
