just wondering about units i can go for that i dont have to pay 350 to get in to
Explain in more details what you mean ? The timber company lands that you have to pay an access fee, are a lot cheaper over here.... but, you don't need to pay anything because we have tons and tons of National Forest Land to hunt on.

Westside you pay to play, east you don't.Only in Hancock or kapowsin I think. You don't pay in Monroe or Skagit. Not sure about the coast units.

i know in one unit u have to pay 350 for a year access dont really have that knid of moneywheels, if you draw for the kapowsin tag and don't have the yearly pass, you can hunt in the property. I believe they only charge 150.00 for guys that draw spring bear tags and don't have an access pass. I would call to make sure.

Seems to me that if the timber companies want damage bears killed through wdfw then no charge should be applied. Make the *censored*s do it themselves if they want to charge to hunt. Just my opinion....+1 on that!

Another question i have is wats the policy on none tag holders because my father would be with me and he is my companion hunterIf your question is for kapowsin, I'm not sure but I think you can have one guys with you. But, they may also require him to pay. Give them a call, you might have to leave a message but she will get back to you!

The way I understand it, from a conversation with the wdfw (cannot remember the guys name) , but he was in charge of the program.Seems to me that if the timber companies want damage bears killed through wdfw then no charge should be applied. Make the *censored*s do it themselves if they want to charge to hunt. Just my opinion....+1 on that!
The timber companies are (were) happy with hiring their own "control specialists", but due to pressure from hunters and the DNR the WDFW thought they would begin a "pilot" program to see if a spring season would work.
By forcing the private timber companies (reluctantly) to comply by limiting their depredation permits unless they offered access for these hunts.
The timber companies have little faith in the effectiveness of "boot hunters" and feel that hound and baiting is more effective (and legal by permit) so are not as cooperative as they would be if it was their idea.
They are being forced to offer the hunts by the WDFW.
