This is from their website:
ALL Properties are CLOSED to ALL recreation access.
There have been several human-caused fires on the properties in the last week and east winds are forecast. The current fire danger is too great to keep the properties open for recreational access.
We understand that hunting seasons are in progress or about to begin. We will re-evaluate opening the properties on a daily basis. Please do not call our office for updates but instead stay tuned to this web site. We will update the web site as soon as there is a change.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Might want to tell your buddy to STOP HUNTING. there is a huge red sign on the entrances that he is ignoring saying the property is closed and he is liable to lose his pass if they find him
:yeah:

All the muzzleloader hunters are being allowed in. This isn't something on the DL. I'll keep everyone updated.

According to who? According to the web site and all the signs, hancock is closed for all rec use
I'm just about to not post anything else for you guys. They have permission from Hancock. One more post about how it's closed, and I'll just have the MOD's delete the thread and then nobody gets any pictures or stories when he gets his bull.
Post by: ctwiggs1 on October 06, 2012, 05:03:20 PM
Ill give the hancock regional office a call on Monday but I was specifically told by the hancock regional manager that the areas are closed. They are hoping to have it open for rifle but ML and archery got screwed
I'm not calling you a liar, but i would like to know who gave him permission. I would like to contact that person because my 4 day hunting trip was ruined this weekend and maybe i can still salvage some of it if they will give me permission.

No idea why, it was at the grass mountain gate. We turned around and tried to see if we could see more details, but they were already aways down the road where we couldnt see them anymore. If someone did kill an animal while its closed say without permission( I AM NOT SAYING THAT THIS WHOLE POST IS BS, JUST HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING) they would only get in trouble for trespassing right? Whoever killed it hauled it out whole other than guts so i dunno not trying to make accusations towards one group , there is multiple reasons as to why I saw what I saw. Been waiting for a facebook update from wdfw cause I know they post about poaching incidents usually, so maybe it was a mixup on the warden.

Tag holder saw a 5 point today, but he wasn't going to hang a tag on him on day 2. The sun is keeping them bedded down during the day. They aren't talking a whole lot either right now.

I also received a PM apology from another. It's good to see people "manning" up and admitting to their mistakes, no hard feelings.
I haven't heard anything from the hunter this morning, but I literally just woke up 5 minutes ago. I'll see if I can't get some info and pass it along to you guys.

Even if there were no fire danger kapowsin would be shut down to everyone but these three guys anyways. It says so right in the rules when you buy the permit. I don't know why people are so butt hurt about this. I hope all three hunters tag a monster. GOOD LUCK!

I think you might be right... You don't know why people are butt hurt. We're butt hurt because we lost our entire early season due to closures, and didn't realize some of the special tag holders were allowed in.
So in short, I made a mistake in assuming that when Hancock posts this: "All areas are temporarily CLOSED for ALL recreation access due to high fire danger", it meant for everyone. The reality is that they meant everyone EXCEPT those three guys.

It's THEIR private land they can do what they want with it. It's 3 guys. Your really getting your panties in a bunch for three guys? I didn't get to go in there during early archery either. But I knew that was a possibility so guess what I did. I planned accordingly and scouted other areas. I would never begrudge anyone a once in a lifetime opportunity.From Hancock:

So after a quiet couple of days and a multitude of 5 points, the Tag Holder headed out down a certain road in the Hancock (walking) and they spotted a 6 point up on the hillside. Pretty average/small 6 point I'm told, and too small to hang a tag on this early. They continued on to no avail. On the way back, they spotted another 6 point. They quickly set up a cow decoy and started cow calling. The bull came running right to the decoy, screaming and bugling. If it was Friday...maybe...But there are bigger bulls in there and he knows it, so the Tag Holder passed.
But nonetheless, a bull screaming in your face is a pretty cool experience (maybe one day I'll get to experience that haha).
Hopefully we can get some blood tomorrow!

And the tag remains un-notched.
Tag Holder got into them thick tonight. Passed on approximately 8 or 9 bulls, including a 6x8. Unfortunately none really were all that spectacular. He's still got a few days left and it seems the weather change has sparked the rut back up a little and got them talking again. Hopefully his patience pays off and he's able to land a true wall hanger.
He's got more patience then I do, my finger would be itching like crazy at this point.
I'll let you guys know how his hunt goes tomorrow.

To bad he wasnt shooting all these "dinks" with a camera to share with us all :chuckle:
We will see if he has any pictures. He's coming back to his house tonight to recharge in his own bed for a bit, then back at them tomorrow morning.
Post by: SilkOnTheDrySide on October 09, 2012, 09:55:43 PM
3 days.
The reason for the lack of pictures is that you are only allowed one guy to bring in. So you've got the shooter and a caller, and focusing on calling the elk, and the shooter deciding if he wants to shoot or not leaves an "action" camera out of the loop.

I'm not with him. For those who don't know, you are only allowed to bring ONE other person with you. Otherwise I would have shouldered my way in and would be filming and photographing this hunt. He doesn't seem to be having any problems holding off, he sounded like he was in Zen Hunter mode last night.

I passed on 15 shooters on a moose hunt because I have a moose as big as most all of them, turned out to be my all time favorite hunt and I never pulled the trigger.
I can imagine the stories the guy will have after this hunt even if he doesn't tag out.
Post by: SilkOnTheDrySide on October 10, 2012, 12:05:44 PM
But that sounds to me like he finally saw a mature bull.
Sounds like they are rip roaring and bugling right now too.

I heard that the Tagholder just passed on an 8x9 standing broadside at 17and a half yards....Too early in the hunt to punch a tag on the likes of him....more to come.
Funny, I actually have a trail cam pic of a giant 8x9 from the kapowsin from this year. He would not pass on this bull though I can guarantee you that.

Big giant brass balls.
Tag Soup.
He passed on some bulls today, nothing was big, and he refused to take a bull just to take one. He went in there looking for a monster, didn't see it, so he ate it.
Hats off sir.
Thanks for reading guys.

I had the similar experience with moose in the Yukon passing 25-30 shooter bulls. My partners guide finally told me 8 days into the 10 day hunt he had a tag in his pocket and when we were done he was going on his first moose hunt there after guiding the area for 15 years, he didn't have a moose of his own. Said he would have shot anyone of the bulls I passed, me too if I didn't already a have a great moose on the wall and in the freezer.
I went home and he hunted three days and didn't find a bull.
Bummer for the tag holder here to go home empty, but I bet he had one of the best hunts of his life, I know mine was.

Ya I just found out this week that he did miss a bull on the last day. Wasn't anything special, an average 6.
