you ALL need a discover pass for ALL DNR land.

[Jburke]

My wife isn't really enthusiastic about the pass.  She thought she was coverered by the complimentary parking pass that came with our son's hunting license.  I explained how this works.  I think that I have pretty much convinced her of the urgency to throw out of office the people that came up with this concept and how easily these shallow and apparently stupid people might damage any other aspect of our life or liberty by their inability or negligence.

If the state has more properties than it can afford to manage, it should sell them.   Let somebody else manage them and provide a valuation that reflects loss of use because of regulations... or keep them, put them back into production and capture royalties from the sustainable use of the land, create jobs.

The state should measure success by fostering the creation of natural resource jobs and eliminating taxes rather than eliminating natural resource jobs and creating new taxes with much celebration and self-congratulation.

You my friend are smarter than our elected officials.  Can we get a campaign going for this man?  We should be able to get enough support to at least have this ridiculous pass thrown down the crapper where it belongs.

This last weekend I was visiting with my neighbor,who has went and purchased his "Discovery Pass". Wanting to be correct while out in the Colville Forest. He used the plate for his main truck. He went to cut some firewood and ran into the DNR. They asked if he had his Pass which he showed them. He was informed at that time he had a pass but not for the vehicle he was operating. They gave him a verbal warning and sent him on his way.

Stupid Me!!

 I called Colville today to ask about this. They confirmed that the pass is only good for one vehicle and they plate number needs to be wrote in the box in ink. I asked about the fact that I could be operating any one of 4 differant rigs. Reply was you will need to purchase a pass for each.
Told them I can only drive one at a time. I asked if I had purchased the pass didn't that cover the permit. Nope! Told them even the WDFG pass gives me 2 vehicle choices. Was told right now they are just in an info stage to let the folks know. I guess that now I'm going to have to get the pass I may also get my day in court!

Just a heads up to people with more than one rig.

Yep. I have been complaining about that on here for a couple of months now. I also have four vehicles. How do I choose which one I want the Discover pass for? I'm sure not going to pay $35 for all four vehicles, that would be $140. So, I've decided that instead, I will buy ZERO passes, and I will just avoid driving onto state land.

It's not just State land it applies to DNR lands according to Colville DNR office.

DNR land is state
