Hunt by written permission
« on: June 17, 2016, 05:02:29 PM »
A green horn on this topic. According to WDFW website, these lands are posted and have contact info and permission slips located with these signs. My question is, is this the only way to go about obtaining access? Can this info be found else where and access granted via mail?

Plan on making the best use of My Big bend Archery Buck tag. Enjoy hunts like this as a push to expand hunting grounds. Appears to be "plenty" of public hunting ground and a few parcels of HBWP land I am interested in.

Appreciate any info and as always, Good hunting to all.

You need to actually obtain the written permission from the land owners. They fill out a card of sorts. You get proof of permission and the land owners turn in proof of permission given to the state. I believe there is some sort of tax incentive for this. There is hunt by reservation land that you can obtain online without physically being there first. It is done through WDFW's website and can be competitive for desirable properties.

Gotcha. Makes sense. Guess the only question I have now is can permission be set up in advance? Just want to Maximize my hunting time in the field come Dec. I'll have a better understanding once I make it over for a trip or two. I'll look into hunt by reservation as well. Thanks for the input.

You may benefit by getting permission in advance. It's hard to get during harvest time as the land owners are busy and don't like being bothered. Also I've had land owners tell me they already gave out permission to so many they didn't want to crowd their lands.

I'll inquire ahead of time. Won't be a lot of pressure for access during my hunt. Hope it pans out. Thanks a lot for the in sight.

I've located properties from the county assessor's office parcel viewer and using the go hunt page at WDFW and written letters asking for permission. I leave my email phone number and address in my letter. Some write respond and some don't.

If you are already going out there to scout you can get the contact info from the signs on the properties.

Good luck on your hunt!

The reason they do not post a number online is because the landowner will get countless phone calls.   I have dealt with this.  It is scary how many hunters call and ask the dumbest most irritating questions.

It reminds me of when I put and add for a house I had for sale by owner in the newspaper.  At best 1 in 20 phone calls where from reasonable people.

You should have no problem gaining permission for those parcels you're looking at that time of year. With that said, that is one of the toughest hunts out there to kill a buck. I would like to see the true harvest data, because I'm certain it would be less than 10%. Best of luck though and you're going about it the right way. :tup:

Good luck, the contact info on the signs I have called about was never valid, it is good to get an early start.

Definitely plan on an early start. According to the harvest reports I looked at for last year. 1deer was taken, a 2 point. 7 hunters submitted and 6 hunted. Think those were the numbers and success rate was 16 percent. I believe.
