the landowner doesn't want to team? Separate the land? share info? Tough unit to get access in. Does the landowner have a good relationship with the neighbors?They have been very nice about it but until the family member is successful, I'm out of luck. I'm working a lot of connections and hoping I'll get something locked up soon. Many of the farmers and ranchers that own the lands within the unit are harvesting right now, so it's proven to be difficult to make the connections. Heading over this weekend, hoping to meet some land owners face to face and come back with permission to hunt some land.

Program is a fraud and abused to get some kick back

Curious....in regards to WDFW "Hunt by Written Permission", have you guys found that you've been able to get permission to hunt these types of properties or is it just those landowner's friends and family that get to hunt? I've called on many of these within Blue Creek unit and have yet to get permission but I can't even get any callbacks. I know it's harvest time and the farmers are crazy busy and dealing with hunting access is at the bottom of their list right now....guess just trying to determine if I should continue to try or if it's not going to happen no matter what. Also think having a "360" phone number is not helping get calls answered or returned.Did get one call back....was told not worth my time as there will be no elk on the property during my season.....makes a guy wonder.....

It's a crooked program that provides very limited benefit to hunters. I believe it's a way the landowner can technically be enrolled in a state hunting access program which makes them eligible for additional crp payments...without really having to give access to anyone.Curious....in regards to WDFW "Hunt by Written Permission", have you guys found that you've been able to get permission to hunt these types of properties or is it just those landowner's friends and family that get to hunt?

Years ago my friend had this tag and we all got access. I cannot remember the guys name. I know of 2 places (no good for elk) that are written permission only, that I get access to. Not ALL of the people who are part of this program abuse it. I am sure some do thoughIt's a crooked program that provides very limited benefit to hunters.

I believe there is some public ground in the blue creek unit.

This program is a scam. It is a way to get the game dept (using our license money) to post your property. Then you let your family and friends hunt as usual. There is no incentive to let anyone else. Total waste of money. Yes, there are a few that use the system the way it is designed but overall its a scam.

Any updates ? Was hoping to hear you got access somewhere.I've been able to obtain permission from some private land owners so far but still hoping to gain more prior to the opener. But I do have land to hunt.....just not sure whether those lands will hold elk. I feel like it's good looking elk country and should hold some population of elk, time will tell.
