Yes, I understand why...the deer numbers are way down, but I shake my head at the fact that it is over run with elk and yet they don't open it up for more elk harvest.

I think they are going backwards this year in count. Maybe trying to throw people off to hurry and buy. Place has gone downhill. My buddy bought first morning right away and got number 1204I think you're right on going backwards, I bought mine the first morning and got 1060 then bought my wife's and she got a lower number.

Anyone do much predator hunting up there?
I usually mountain bike and stuff when I go up there but there is a ton of coyotes and cats.

Anyone do much predator hunting up there?The wife and I used to predator hunt all winter in there, always managed to kill coyotes and a couple bobcat, we only bought the pass for predator hunting. The changes a couple years ago just made it to expensive. There are alot of predators and it did seem like we had it to ourselves. Kind of miss it but not giving Hancock anymore money to manage their predators.

They had more passes this year and all sold out quickly. First year for me so looking forward to explore the area.
How did you find out they sold out? Website looks like they still have Kapowsin and Eatonville passes for sale

1000 passes this year, apparently 200 more than last year due to increased interest if remember correctly. Families need only one pass (unless kids over 18). All passes sold out within 2 days. It's 1000 passes (=1000 cars) and say 1-3 people in each car, so roughly 2000 people sharing that place. Plus the non-motorized traffic ...
It’s not families spouses need their own permits I thought now

And how is there only 1000 passes when my buddy got number 1200 and something

Lots of bad info, still the same, everyone over 18 needs a pass. Only 1,200 given out, can’t imagine they are sold out, they haven’t sold out in years!!
No reason too unless you like predator hunting and hauling wet firewood through a clear cut

No no I use the secret firewood cutting areas that they leave off the map. The ones where they stack the logs like they are ready for transport. You have to work fast though.
Lmao that’s one way. I swear though I don’t even know how to read their firewood areas and the stuff I see people hauling out Im like :dunno:

@Duckslayer89 - it's definitely families as I bought one (minus kids over 18). Info I provided was directly from their website on the day they released the passes. Not sure about your buddy's pass - mine is 4 digits starting with 8 so go figure your buddy's number starting with 1 :). If it's worth it or not? Will know by the general season ...
You can bring kids but not spouses unless they changed it back this year. I’ll look into the rules and post

The pass number and purchase number are to different things. Your purchase number will be 1200 down to 1. Your purchase number is how they keep tractor of how many are sold. Pass number is separate.
Oh and your wife definitely need her own pass.

Wife calls her husband driving to work and says, "Honey be careful. There's a maniac driving on the wrong side of the road on the highway." He responds, "One maniac? There are hundreds of them."
Have a nice weekend all :)
