2025 Snoqualmie Tree Farm - Anybody Going to Quit?

[kodiak06]

Note to private timberland owners: Speaking for myself, I am happy to play "pay to hunt."  The money is not the issue.  But the lands must be managed for wildlife, or I won't participate.

(The area that I hunted this year looked like Fallujah after a visit from the USMC.)

You're already participating lol. Timber companys do nothing from a biology or game management standpoint

Well the 900 permits sold out in less than 6 hours. There were some pre-sales for those who've held the permit for many years. When I looked at about 45 minutes into the sale there were only around 200 permits letft.

it was nice to see they dropped the permit numbers down after the big sell offs the last few years. I begrudgingly bought it again this year in the presale but gave up on it as a good hunting spot years ago. fishing and firewood.

Hunted those hills since the late 80’s when they were not gated….I have bought the permit just about every year.  This year I passed on it.  Who knows how much more they will sell off.

99,000 acres down to 69,000 acres per the website. Crazy what has happened. And then there was the guy in another thread on here spreading rumors the Muckleshoot were buying land in there and then he never updated where he heard the rumor. Fun times. Enjoy what's left while you can because once it goes to the Tribes it will never change hands again and I doubt they will ever allow access to non-tribal members.

The generational hunting (and other activites) is quickly ending there, just like it did on the White River farm.
