I will say it is a real treat when someone comes scross my signs, googles the LLC to get the phone number, calls me up and says hey I have trail cameras on what used to be timber land and is now owned by you, can I go in and retrieve my cameras? You bet.
Or hey I see you now own some great ground, we have a terminally I’ll hunter who could really benefit from your land and road system. Sure you bet.
Watching young hunters get their first animal in an unpressured environment where they have time to get a quality shot at a deer or an elk without the pumpkin brigade swarming in and unloading on the animal first is an unreal experience.
It is very rewarding when people do it the right way and gives me hope in our future.
They aren’t making any more land so the future of hunting is going to rely on good relationships with private landowners.
Like I said in another post the majority of land in Washington state is privately owned.
