KAPOWSIN OPENING DAY

[Duckslayer89]

So what is the time we can go in the gate? Is it an hour and a half before shooting light or and hour and a half before sunrise? Never been there for opening day I'll be going in the bridgegate. What's the program? I have a long drive to where I want to be and want to go in when I can.

And Hancock guys post your bucks here let's take a look at the seasons deer as it goes along!

its an hour or hour and half before light, dont worry, you will have plenty of company, most of the time you dont even have to get out to open or close the gate do to the flow of traffic, generally there will be a line at the gate waiting for the magical minute to open the gate good luck

Directly from Hancock rules & regulations:

3. Access dates are from January 1, 2014 through March 30, 2015. Access is allowed any day of the week from one and one half hours before sunrise to one and one half hours after sunset. No access is allowed on July 3rd, 4th or 5th. The property owners reserve the right to limit or prohibit access to any portion of the property due to safety, fire hazard, extreme weather or other asset protection reason. Property owners may add or delete access areas by posting signs as the only notification to permit holders.

FYI, last year a warden was at the intersection of the 6 & 62 Rds turning guys around if they were in too early. Didnt kick them out, just made them go back down and wait.
Just follow the parade, you will be ok.

7:20 sunrise it says for Saturday.
Maybe everyone will go in bridge gate 
So I guess that means 5:50 gate time. Good luck to everyone heading out there.

Have fun in the parade. That place is a zoo for modern firearm.

Sweet thanks for the help! Ya Im gonna be mountain biking in pretty far not to worried about crowds. Guess I'll just park at the gate and wait for 5:50. Saw a monster last Tuesday he was about 6 miles in. Did anyone else notice the deer activity was way slow after they opened it back up after the archery elk closure? Hopefully they get moving.

So how did it go?  Anybody connect up there?  First year in a while I didn't hunt opening day at kapowsin.  Hunted hancock land on the coast and scouted for my rifle cow tag.  Heading up to kapowsin after the Hawks for a evening hunt.

[Duckslayer89]

Saw 7 deer mountain biking yesterday no bucks. Dad missed a buck on the run, saw 6 deer no bucks today. I think moon phase has a lot to do with the little deer activity and no elk activity haven't seen an elk in two days usually see tons

Also a friend of mine came out yesterday afternoon I believe around three or four o'clock and the security guy had only checked 2 deer all day on. He was at bridgegate side.

[Thehowler]

Who was the security on the Bridge gate side?

[Duckslayer89]

I'm assuming Clyde? I don't know I came out in the dark and no one was there

[_DarkTimber_]

Guy in the silver dodge checked me opening day bridge gate side

[Thehowler]

Silver Dodge doesn't sound familiar. I have not seen Clyde for awhile, just wondering if he still worked there?

[BigCutty3]

Was checked by silver Dodge guy twice last year, has the personality of a cold rock, did for me at least.
