Not that it matters, I was down there (530, 506, 681, 673) from Sat-Wed going on what state land was open, and there were 3 trucks parked in front of every timberland gate trespassing and poaching. Reported who I could, doubt anything will come of it. Covid has all the court systems and jails closed so there are no enforcement actions to take. Warden says they’re trying to keep a list for the landowners so they can ban their access in the future, but I’m not hopeful.
Those people will lose that access for all of us. Lots of folks having campfires on state land too.

What do u think the violation would be called if a guy had a ebike on Hancock land and got sighted by wdfw or security?I asked Hancock Security this question last Thursday.
Criminal Trespass and denied access from Hancock.
He said that several timber groups decided this together and they would all honor it.
The security guys name is Dave and he works for Hancock if you want to confirm.
He was calling the Sheriff on a Hunter Huntin during fire season and blocking a gate when we spoke.
Super nice man.
Definitely not worth it to me.

And if riding an ebike is trespassing, then if you actually got an animal while in there on an e bike would it not be unlawful removal of wildlife? Hunting while trespassing, big game violation, lose hunting rights?

Your animal would almost certainly be seized by WDFW. I’m sure you could pay $5-10k in legal fees to get it back. Personally I am glad to see E-bikes (might as well be dirt bikes) get cited and charged with trespassing.What do u think the violation would be called if a guy had a ebike on Hancock land and got sighted by wdfw or security?A violation of landowner's regs can be charged under criminal trespass 2nd degree.

Also have talked to a few in person behind the gates that have gave me there card and said if I see people breaking access rules to give them a call or email.
They where very professional and very nice people to talk too when you follow the rules. :dunno:
Not only does the e bike fall under the coopertive road closures with WDFW,it's also a huge liability issues .
Logging truck runs you over ,your e bike catches fire and burns x amount of acres and a few houses,ECT.Im sure there is more.
They need to start enforcement of these rules Alot more fines and confiscate e bike,ATV,SXS, I'm sure if your bike may be confiscated you would think twice before riding back there.
