[Woodchuck]

I am given a damage permit nearly every year by a landowner.

Not enough information to go on.

This one pops every season: https://kpr.craigslist.org/spo/5346665733.html

One might question why a photo of a bull is displayed in the ad, when the hunt season for master hunters is antlerless only in that area.

250 sounds cheap.  Are you allowed to sell them though?

If it is truly a damage permit, yes. A landowner can also charge an access fee for any amount.

thanks responded  guess see what happens

[dreamunelk]

illegal per WAC. and per their agreement to sell permit.  They can charge an access fee.

He does it every year.  He's not selling damage tags, he's selling access to his land for master hunters.

That's what it appears to be. It's interesting that he has a picture of a bull in his ad. That should tell people something.

Yes, same guy every year.  He puts out feed in numerous areas on his property to attract the elk and sells access.  His property borders the elk fence and elk gates into cowiche.

Kinda messed up if he's getting "damage permits" when's he's baiting them in 

[Dan-o]

I don't think saying "he baits them in" is quite accurate.

They raise cattle and he feeds them on his property.....   He has to feed his cattle.

He charges an access fee to his property.    The same thing many landowners do.

I've never done this - I've never paid to hunt private land.   But, I'm not necessarily against it.

(If I could buy access via trespass fee to some good deer hunting land,   I might??)

He has had the same add out for months but a few months ago he was also offering up archery hunts, maybe that's where the spike picture is from?

Looks like a rifle in the picture with the spike. Could have been during the general modern firearm season.
