ATTN: ALKALI DEER APPLICANTS!!!!!

[Karl Blanchard]

Just a friendly heads up to all you potential Alkali (Yakima Training Center) applicants.  As of April 1st, you must have either a passport, or an advanced drivers license to access the base.  If these are not attainable for you, don't burn a choice on this hunt.  I spend a lot of time out there for work and play and they have really gotten more stringent on security along with the new requirements.  All vehicles are getting a good once over before being allowed in.  Good luck in the draws everyone

I think what Karl is saying is "don't bother applying, they will ransack your rig and you have to have super I'd. There isn't any deer or elk out there anyhow." 
 
But it is good to remember the passport or enhanced dl thing.

There used to be elk until you scared em all away last year

I don't want to take this thread in the wrong direction but I'm just curious Karl.  Do the Yakima Indians have to also have the same documentation to enter the base?  I'm seeing this ID thing as a boost in the deer herd, unless they aren't subject to those rules as well...

You guys are somethin else! 
I'd say it wasn't my fault. But since I was alone there's nobody to blame!

Used to be a great deer unit, thanks to a few natives that unit went to crap.  Thanks for the heads up!

I guess my Cac card should work. I currently work on JBLM.

In addition, all current Blue, Tan, and Red ID cards should also work.

Will the TWIC work? It is mandatory at ports and is issued by DHS.

This thread is pointless.  Everyone knows that the only hunt able elk are in the Blues.

   Correct.  Sorry I should have added that, thanks for catching that.

  I couldn't accurately answer that.  Gate guards and MP'S only mentioned the ADL and the passport.  I would call or email them.  Though,  id be careful on that too.  Talk to LE direct and don't take the gate guys word on anything.  Rules seem to vary from shift to shift

The change was supposed to be effective in January, but I suspect YTC waited until after the current recreational access cards expired on March 31 to implement it fully.

I posted this merely as a heads up for everyone.  Wasn't really wanting to discuss the hunt itself, but ya, there is a bin full of bad apples out there that flat out rape and pillage the deer.  Only thing that saves enough to reproduce is zone closures due to training.

Are you referring to employees?
