Sierra - Hancock - Weyerhauser E-Bikes
« on: November 01, 2020, 01:42:56 PM »
I doubt this will help, but it can't hurt.

To the (2) young guys and (1) middle age guy, Sierra doesn't allow e-bikes. Even though you both had Weyerhauser access permits which gets you closer to prime Sierra land, it's not legal to use them on Sierra thinking you won't get caught.

And, I highly doubt that both you kids had drive in Weyerhaeuser permits. So, that means you probably loaded up your buddy and road your fancy, new orange and black e-bikes from the gate. And your lies about you not knowing, and saying Hancock allows it were lies, you knew it and I told you.

For the other guy I caught in there, telling me it was ok as well, I talked with both Sierra and Weyerhaeuser and I'm looking forward to you all getting caught and getting your bikes taken and hopefully permits taken as well. If a 60-year old guy can walk in 3-9 miles so can you!!!

Sounds like you let it ruin your day. There’s always going to be that guy or guys that aren’t going to follow the rules. Sucks but it is what it is.  :twocents:

I have a pretty good idea where you were at and that’s a real problem down there. I’ve reported a few guys over the years, it’s bull when you hike/ride in and someone does that to you.

I can guarantee they wouldn’t be taking my e bike, I follow the rules anyway, but if I didn’t and the security caught me, they can have my sticker and that’s it.

 :chuckle: Yea they can’t steal people’s bikes. People should follow the rules, but security isn’t able to seize someone’s property.

I would keep calling the warden.  I don't have any proof that actually does anything but if they get enough calls they may spend some time down there.  There is a number you can text, I think you can send pictures too.

It didn't ruin my hunt. I had a very good time and saw a pile of does and a small buck.

I don't own a phone. But I do know both of the security guys who patrol for both companies.

As far as not being able to take your bike, I realize it they can't, but it sure would be nice. As far as taking a sticker, not sure what that means? What sticker? If it was legal to remove it from your possession Trophy, then they would take it ! To bad there are no reprucussions for blatantly breaking the rules.

And I own a very nice M2S e-bike and would love to take it in there...But can't.

What I mean by pulling the sticker is pulling the sticker on your window which is pulling your pass for the rest of the year.  At least that is how it works for the Kapowsin Hancock area.

I don’t think e bikes are that big of an advantage, not what people think. Before I owned one I also thought they were like motor cycles, not even close. I had to pedal the whole way when I got my deer this weekend, battery died 4 miles in because the steepness and my cart. Still took 1.5 hours to get to the top, 5 miles in. I don’t take it where I’m not supposed to, but feel like I should when I’m in a walk in only gate and trucks drive by me.

Honestly, I don't care that guys are getting somewhere before me.  E-bikes aren't the same as a guy in a quad running all over every trail and road at half throttle all day nonstop.  Either way, it's poor form to break the law but one messes up my hunt and the other one is just that guy.

I would also bet that a large chunk of the access to private land that gets shut off (not including sales of property) is because the landowner is tired of misbehavior like trash, tracks around gates, ripping up off trail ground, getting calls and complaints and the like.

It all boils down to respect for s**t that ain't yours.  Every timber company's land is what it is, THEIR LAND.  They set the rules, however they see fit.  I hear the whole "tax break" stuff a lot, but we all can get those.  I got a friend that owns 140 acres that is deemed "Forest Land" and because of it, pays a ridiculous $600 a year in taxes on it.  If you (anybody) set a rule for the land that you own and pay taxes for, then those rules need to be respected, period. I've always had the upmost respect for land own by others, whether it be a company or private. If you expect every rule to be respected for your land, then do the same across the board.
