Read up on it. Washington is one of 5 states to reject the open fields doctrine. Simply look on line if it is legal to use drones to gather evidence in Washington State.  Insurers can do it basically because you have to allow it or they won't insure you, they have that right - kind of implied consent.

I don't need to read up on it.
Thousands of investigative contacts occur daily on private property without warrants.
Now you certainly can tell them to leave...but it doesn't preclude them from knocking..
And I wouldn't worry about drones..
Airplane's are easier anyway.
I was watching that warden show the other day.
They did use airplane's in Michigan to look for bait sites.
Private/public doesn't matter.
I'm just gonna take a guess here,with this law just starting this year.
Majority of tickets ,hunters turning hunters ,will occur during the season. Basically cause the number of people in the woods increase so much. Just a guess.

You can sure knock and ask, but that's it.  Defense lawyers love this kind of thinking Only redeeming factor in Washington is that LEOs I know say it is easier to get a warrant here than it is in other states.

Game department is always flying over my place doing deer and elk counts. I’m pulling all of my feeders. Don’t want them to even think I’m baiting and give me the business.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Anyone have thoughts on remediating former bait/mineral sites?   I know it is all grey area... but, what if you were hunting a trail or have a permanent stand somewhere which was previously used over a mineral or bait site?   At what levels of residuality is a site considered baited?  Just questions which I hope to never be the legal litmus test for.
Introduce someone new to hunting this year.

I am thinking if it is an active bait site you would be in trouble. Residual would not be an issue.  All of my feeders and mineral blocks are areas that deer and elk frequented before I put feeders and mineral blocks there.

I have emailed the region 1 office on several occasions with questions and they have always been very responsive and helpful. Might try emailing them with questions
