Hancock has their own security guy that patrols the tree farm year round. WDFW Officers patrol it year round, and heavily during any hunting season. Hancock actually funds the WDFW patrols. And the local USFS Officer also patrols it periodically. So yes, they do check, you can't even walk/bike without a permit in this farm. You will be cited with trespassing if you are there without a permit.
