Got a Cow tag for Mashel unit coming up on the 1st of Jan.I know the unit well,and was wondering if anybody could help with getting some private land permission.
S T RD. or fields along hiway by Ashford have plenty of Elk that could use some thinning! P M me if you have any intel.
Merry X Mass!
Dave.

You don’t have a Hancock pass? How many points did you have btw if you don’t mind me asking! I had 11 and didn’t draw
-
I do not have a Hancock key.I heard they do not let you cow hunt in there, but that may be wrong.Also the muzzle loader cow tag is elk area 6054,so not all of Mashel unit is open.Some of the Eatonville area of Hancock would be in the area.I had 6 points in the draw.

As far as I know they do. I’ve ran into several muzzy cow hunters in there on the south side of the kapowsin Hancock property. I would go in there opening day, and fill your tag. Shouldn’t have an issue filling it!
They definitely do and it should be easy money.
-
Well that's not gonna work then
-
Yeah, they are sold out. Otherwise, a slam dunk. But a few years ago they changed the boundary and it didn’t include Hancock. Reason I remember is because my wife drew and when I found out Hancock was no longer in the unit, we got our points back. They changed the boundary between the drawing and deadline.

I have a friend that killed a cow in there last year

Hancock cow from last year

I would head up Scott Turner and knock on some doors
Or Alder Mashell.

awesome, it’s been a few years, glad to see they opened it back up

I thought they offered extra Hancock passes (keys) for purchase to those that draw this permit?...maybe give Hancock a call to see. As far as getting permission up Scott Turner Rd or Ashford, good luck, most either think of the elk as pets or are elk hunters themselves and don't want the numbers to go down, especially pregnant cows. If the UW Pack Forest is included in the unit (I haven't looked at the boundary) then poke around there too, but your best bet is Hancock land.

UW is closed to hunting access during his hunt due to UWs rules and regulations. Maybe get lucky if talking to land owners throughout unit boundaries and explain the hunt situation for the permit.

It appears that Hancock indeed is no longer in the 6054 elk hunt.
-
What is "Hancock"?
Their White River permit is the only one that doesn't take in any of 6054. Looks to me like both the Kapowsin and Eatonville permits take in a portion of the hunt area.
-
6054 is only a portion of 654. Doesn't include the whole unit. And 6054 took away a large portion of hancock lands within the last couple years. Not the permit it used to be. Although some public land available this is probably geared more toward private land hunts for late season opportunity.
-
I thought the 6054 Unit got moved south to cover part of the kapowsin tree farm and more of the eatonville property’s. Is that not the case any more?
-
Which part of the South tree farm, besides Eatonville?
-
From the regs...
-
And from the Hunt Planner...
-
Has anyone walked up towards glacier view wilderness area or anywhere in that NF block. I know the 59 rd off 507 got washed out. Wondering if anyone’s seen elk n there since the road became un driveable
-
Does that map show any of kapowsin Hancock in the 6054 unit? I can’t figure it out
-
Well someone messed up and got caught! Just received an email from Hancock that said someone killed a cow on the Hancock eatonville property, out of the elk area. Oops! They lost the elk and can’t get another entry permit for Hancock. Anyone on here??

Yea, she does....I felt like I was in trouble and haven't been anywhere near there in a month! :chuckle:

I drew that tag in 2020. A good chunk of the southern portion of kapowsin is still open for that hunt. I talked to the biologist at wdfg Mashell Prihi she was very helpful and gave me the name and phone number of the private land cowardinator for that hunt. I ended up taking my cow in the kaposin tree farm. Pm me if you got any questions. not surehow access is with the snow right now.
-
Got my Cow on State land last Thurs.The snow last week made hunting anywhere in the unit damn tough.hope it is better this week for the other hunters.
-
congratulations. :tup:

Congrats on your elk good job
