Title: NE timber companies
Post by: Billy74 on July 27, 2018, 08:03:31 AM
I was wanting to get a permit soon for inland paper but wanted to check here if anyone has opinions on other timber companies that offer permits to hunt.  I’m mostly thinking Stevens and PO counties.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my money. I lived near the IEP lands sorta. I went and looked at the areas at Northport when I got my free disability permit. There is a lot of public lands up there that surrounds it. They do patrol and prosecute the trespassers if they catch them.

In the northeast several of the big timber company's lands are wide open, no permit required. That includes Stimson, Hancock, and several others. Inland Paper is the only one that requires a permit. There are a few like Vaagen Bros and Arden Tree Farms that are mostly posted and closed to public access. Unless you specifically need to hunt Inland Paper there is plenty of National Forest, State land, and timber company lands open for access.

(a Discover Pass is needed for DNR "State Lands")

You can buy day passes for IEP which is about $10 if I remember right.

Anybody ever go around gates that are locked but not posted. I had a timber company forester tell me if I had a quad to just go around the gate. I thought that sounded good but wondered if the judge would believe it!

All the gated forest roads I see are posted as to what type of access is allowed.
Forestland not posted, gated, no fence you should be OK to walk in but I would be extremely skeptical about someone telling me I could drive around the gate. If it is OK to drive in why are they gating it?

It’s pretty common for iep to lock gates to vehicles but allow atvs to access it.

Yu would have to check with each land owner or company to get their rules tho

In my case the forester said to go around the gate but the first parcel of ground was a small private timber owner. You had to cross his property to get to the other ground I had permission to hunt. Too dicey for me. I went somewhere else. I dont want any hassles.
