Title: Kapowsin elk draws for 2021, big change??
Post by: trophyhunt on January 31, 2021, 02:01:08 PM: Anyone else hear or know more about possible big changes coming to the kapowsin Hancock elk draw in 2021? I have a good friend who logs on the property and said he heard a pay for play for elk is coming in 2021 instead of a drawing. I sent an email to Hancock, hopefully I get a response this week.

Post by: trophyhunt on February 01, 2021, 06:55:33 AM: Got an email back pretty quickly from hancock, "We are still working out the details for the 2021-2022 season, but we expect minimal change in the process for our permit holders".

So it sounds like not much will change, will see.

I have heard that every winter for about 10 years now. My buddies dad said Champion was going to be doing that back in the 80s too and never did.

Sounds like an old logger tale :twocents:
