I have a little intel but if you're hitting the clear cuts and looking for deer or bear it's really what you need to do. Get out of your car and walk whenever you can instead of hoping to drive up to a clearing, get out of your car for a few feet and take a shot.
I'm not sure I'll be fishing this weekend so if a Hunt WA member is interested in going out I could probably get out there for a day.

What area of Hancock do you hunt?
I have only been in there one time, back when you could walk on without permit. But I live more on the north side so I will probably access on the duvall/ carnation side if I can.

Thanks for the heads up on the 2015 season dates! I noticed the Snoqualmie Vicinity Map was updated for 2015 and was surprised to see a lot of new wildlife protection areas marked in green on the map, including a promising area that I scouted in December.
https://hancockrecreationnw.com/snoqualmie/about/vicinity-map/vicinity-map
I noticed that too. I saw a few small bucks in that area and plenty of does but I only spend a little time in that area.

How are crowds up there? I'm 99% sure I'm buying in this year. I wish they'd open an entrance through hwy 2.i'm just not sure i can spend the extra cash i normally run out of tags by September 4th anyway.

I wish they'd open an entrance through hwy 2.Opening day of modern for deer looks like a truck show with everyone riding round and round. It's a big farm though and you can find lots of places away from the roads where you're not likely to see anyone.

According to the regulations you are still supposed to access at gate 10 or 11 for non motorized. It looks like this year they may let you take a guest in on a motorized permit 2 days per permit.
Do non-motorized users need to fill out a sign-in card?
No! Sign-in cards are for motorized users only and are at the motorized access gates. Non-motorized users can access the property from any location provided they are not crossing other private property without permission. We do ask that if non-motorized users harvest game, they mail in a game harvest card or put it in the box at a kiosk at one of the recreation access gates. Game harvest cards are available at the recreation kiosks or may be printed out from the web site.
Looks like we can access from other spots after all

Definitely can. I met a game warden at one entrance I was going in on and he had no problem with it. He just wanted to make sure I had a permit.
By the way, heads up today if you are wanting a motorized permit. They are now on sale for 2015.

Did the quota go back down this year? It didn't sell out last year but the quota went out (doubled, I think). Seems like the number went down or a considerable number have been purchased in the opening few hours...

*GRUMBLE* Bought one... We'll see if its worth it. Probably just a good way to burn some dinosaurs in my tank and eat up my new tires.
This is my first year to buy the motorized permit. It will be (hopefully) easier to get out there and scout more with my family being able to tag along. I'm also looking forward to getting my kayak out into some of the lakes and scouting further areas than I could reach on my bike.
I'm looking forward to exploring come April 1.
As for the price, I honestly still consider it a good deal coming from another state. I've paid a lot more for a hunting lease that had much fewer opportunities for game.

What would happen if you got an animal down and were still searching for it after dark? Is there a security line you can call to let them know what you're up to or do you have to be out of there, no exceptions?
Not that this has ever happened to me before.... :rolleyes:

You have to come back the next morning - an hour before sunrise.
I ran into two guys this year that got a nice blacktail buck and couldn't find it the evening before but were coming out Sunday around 10am. A bear had made pretty good work of the hind quarters but they were pleased to have recover it. The gamie happened to be at the gate checking tags so I benefited from hearing the full story.

Its going to be great this year because I threw my money in the pot. (I hope) :-\

Yeah, I'm still undecided. More pressure & less people is the word I get too from most everyone I talk to. If my friend elects to join me I'll probably do it again.
Post by: mendozer on July 13, 2015, 12:44:09 PM
Splitting the cost of the permit is also an option, as well as helping process game as well. The company and potential for shared knowledge is always a plus as well.
Post by: jamesjett on July 26, 2015, 06:33:01 PM
I would be down to buddy up for this area for archery and/or rifle either species. M buddy and I do camping right. I cook well for us (stews, breakfast sandwiches, curries, etc).

Splitting the cost of the permit is not an option. Each person must have their OWN permit. Wish it were't so but it is...

So closed. Never buying this pass again. Not just because of the fire part, but it doesn't help.
Post by: Rakkasan00 on August 20, 2015, 09:38:44 PM
It's not just pressure from hunters. There seems to be tons of logging trucks and maintenance workers etc. Up there as well. Not enough game to make it worth it. Even on the weekdays. Too much traffic even far out past 12 Mile and now the closure.
No thanks
Post by: grundy53 on August 21, 2015, 06:22:23 AM
Yes a huge waste of money.Of course there are tons of logging trucks. It's a tree farm. Logging operations don't bother deer. They are used to living with it every day.

Everyone will have their opinions of course. Ever had your spot busted at the crack of dawn by a guy with a dog and a chainsaw getting firewood? Opening day of modern Deer and for firewood cutting opens on the same days. Or did then.

You get that in Hancock and for that matter, any timber property. I suspect the game is somewhat used to it and although not ideal, probably the same as game on a farm w/ farm equipment.

That can happen anywhere. I've had similar things happen in Eastern Washington, Western Washington, and Idaho. Unless you buy your own private land or secure exclusive access then in could happen. It's all part of hunting public land or industrial timberland.

Anyone harvest anything in here this year?
Havent made it up a single time. Going to go try to get some firewood at some point (by myself since my gf isn't allowed to come with).
I will not be buying in the future. This is just unnecessary in my life. It may be useful to others or someone who lives really close to the gate.
