I hunted fee access Hancock land for the first time this year since I hunted the same area about 10-12 years ago when it was owned by Champion, I was successful in finding game, but I was also successful in finding some of the drunkest A$$-oles I've ever encountered in my life and had to file a Sheriff's report, completely ruined my hunt this year. It seems some who buy the permit feel it gives them license to treat the property as their own and that no one else has privilege to hunt there, I am really debating buying a pass again. I guess I'm biased as I was drawn for the special permit hunt Champion used to have and it was the best blacktail hunt I ever had, I was sorry to see them cancel that hunt and go to the State's season's for late buck. They assumed the fee would eliminate riff-raff but it clearly hasn't. Fee's continue to go up and the roads are not really maintained all that well, there are many spurs with no turn outs, badly pitted, etc, honestly I think the roads in Vail are in better shape.
