Contacting wdfw permission to hunt landowners?

[Team Baze]

Does anybody have any secrets on tracking down contact info for land owners that partnered with wdfw on letting hunters access their land? I'm looking at a place and I talked to wdfw today and they said you need to drive to the property to get the owner contact info.  I live on the west side but this property is on the east side. I'll drive over there but was wondering if anyone had pointers?  PM me please if you have info.

You're going to have to make the trip.

I assume you have a name and location. I suspect a few minutes of googling would get you what you need. You could also try to look up the landowner on the county assessor website.

Is the property listed on the wdfw go hunt map? Otherwise maybe buying or doing a trial of onx hunt maps on a smartphone may get you what you need. It would suck to make the drive to get turned down, and even though it's listed as hunt with permission, I know ALOT of properties that don't let people hunt still. Gotta be in their clique.

You have to go there and get the name  on the sign  i have permission to hunt one of these places by the owner - but the name on the sign is not always the land owner.  It may be the person leasing the land , the hired hand or manager or even a neighbor.  If you contact the owner in my example you may well tick them off by not calling the name on the sign and get nothing.  The owner may be in another state.
Spend some fuel $ and I would do it soon or you will not get a spot..  It may be that they are  not sold out yet.

PM Jason Stevens and ask him. His hunt wasn't a good experience at all...

If you want to hunt bad enough you will make the drive and introduce your self in person it will go along ways with most land owners.

I've asked a lot of land owners and the only luck I've had is for dove or coyote. No go for deer. The regular response is sorry I still have family hunting. Gotta respect that.

It's not as easy as wdfw makes it sound.  I recently spent an entire afternoon driving to 5 different pieces of land that supposedly had everything I needed.  None of them had Info posted.  Talked to one guy who hasn't even participated in the program the last 2 years.  Waste of time and money for me, what unit are you looking at?

Well I contacted the Coulee Dam Chamber of Commerce and they were really helpful, they got me some contacts and phone numbers. I called and the owner really limits it to family and they only pull out an average of 3 bucks a year.

It's tough to access great private land here on the east side but you are getting great advice.  There is no substitute for asking face-to-face.  If you get turned down 5 times, keep trying.  You only need one good "yes" to make a season.
