Warning for Kapowsin shed hunters UPDATED WITH FORMAL ANSWER

[Pygmy]

Thanks for the heads-up Woodman.  Clyde told me last year that if he found a shed in my rig he would confiscate it, rip the Hancock sticker from my rig and cancel my access.  I ran into the Snoqualmie guard at Kapowsin main gate a few weeks later and asked him about sheds and he didn't care.  Anyone ask the head office?

cylde would like to think his last name is hancock, I wouldn't worry about it to much, wth? they charge up the ying yang for a pass and he is worried about a shed?

It seems Clyde only soul existence is to harass and threaten.  He told me once that he was disappointed that he didn't run into anybody after hours(1 1/2after dark) as he was driving from lynch creek gate to the kapowison main gate. I said,Cylde, you serious, don't you think you should be glad that people are following the rules.

It says nothing in the rules that you agree to when buying the permit. If he tried to take my permit over shed hunting, Hancock's front office would be getting a call from me. Average deer and bear hunting along with a d-bag guard making up rules on the fly just adds to the reasons why I will not be buying a permit again this year.

That's ridiculous. I guess all you can do is keep quiet about any sheds you find, and keep them out of sight in your vehicle.

Is it really much of an issue though? I mean, I've never been in the Kapowsin tree farm, but what are the odds of actually finding a shed? If it's like anywhere else in western Washington, finding a shed is about a once every ten years kind of event.

[D.Prociw]

Ya, there no sheds in there so Clyde doesn't have to worry about it.

I have sent in a formal detailed request for a formal answer to Hancock's stand on this.

    Next thing you know they'll be selling permits for shed hunting.

Clyde is the law of the timberlands. Heard many of his story's since he stared his security watch in there.

I am going out on a whim here. Hancock says you can hunt, fish, cut firewood in designated areas, and pick shrooms for personal use.

Nowhere does Hancock say you can remove sheds.

I think Clyde is interpreting it as anything other then my first sentence is a violation of Hancock rules. Hancock is the landowner if they want to let people take sheds they can, if they don't want them to they can.

It'll be interesting to hear what the Hancock office says. But if they agree with Clyde, they are completely able to do so.

I got my formal response in writing from the front office and they say that you can pick up sheds in there as long as you have a valid motorized permit.

Yeah him , he's blowing so much smoke up ur a$$ ur gunna $hit beef jerky...

it never ends ...do what you want and worry about it once your caught  You know the saying ! Its always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission 

thats right  especially when you buy somethn that is pretty expensive 

[TheHunt]

I have done it and I have friends who have been picking sheds up in the area for over 10 years.  Clide has never said one word to us.  We have picked up over 1000 lbs of antlers.
