Talk about having to dig deep into pocket

[jackelope]

Land access cost is not an issue for me. I hunt public land on the west side.

Not for long.     Just cause the closures and permits don't affect you yet, doesn't mean they are good for the sport of hunting in wa.  Way to be considerate of others hunting past times and family traditions.  I cant wait to hear your reaction when they go permit for the area you hunt.

Permit what? I hunt national forest, state land and wilderness areas. Unless the federal government decides to start charging us to access the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, it won't happen. Special permit you mean?
I meant no disrespect to anyone's past times or family traditions. You guys are complaint about having to pay to access private land. I don't really see a problem with that. It's not public land. At least it's still accessible.

Ok so if you just want to shoot a lot of animals I guess it's a fair comparison. I still think the price of licenses and tags is cheap entertainment when you factor in everything you get.

Has Washington brought in any non-native invasive predators or have they just walked here from other states and countries?  Wait...don't answer that. That's a whole different thread.

I KNOW (no debate needed) the feds have brought in fishers.

I guess I assumed he was eluding to wolves.

National forest isn't free either. $40 for an annual forest pass.

I agree completely with many of the views posted here.  However, if you haven't lived or traveled out of this region and seen other hunt situations you really can't appreciate how good it still is up here.  In the South you either join a hunting club at several hundred dollars a season and be limited to what game is available or you don't hunt.  The few NWR's make our pumpkin patch hunts look like virgin territory.  Just sayin.

My buddy in Mississippi pays about $20 to hunt deer for three months and I think he can get around 10 of them counting does

[jackelope]

You guys are talking about states that are over run with whitetails. Is it all about the number of deer you kill?

The amount I use the Discover Pass for hunting is almost not at all. There's 1 piece of state land I use it on,maybe twice a year.

Correct, not free, but not hundreds of dollars for a year like some if the Timber companies are charging. I hunt, camp, hike, fish...whatever else. $40 a year is about as cheap as good quality entertainment like that gets. I'll take it.

That post wasn't directed at you, but was meant to correct someone who called it a "Discovery" pass.

the price of tags: relatively cheap. Gas: expensive.

a day of hunting over staring at all kinds of technology: priceless.

I could care less on what I pay for tags. Nothing beats hunting in some beautiful country.

Well, I didn't want anyone thinking I was forgetting about that fee either. Really a minimal fee in the grand scheme of things.
