Title: How many people pay money to access hunting land in eastern Washington?
Post by: E-Town Hunter on July 28, 2008, 05:31:27 PM: I was just curious how many people pay money to gain access for hunting land in eastern washington and how much they pay. I have seen private hunting clubs on the rise in the area where I live and while I'm not about to try and get involved in these I am just curious what they charge.

Post by: demontang on July 29, 2008, 12:08:03 PM: I wont pay to get on someones land. I will go do some jobs around there land for access like building fences, shooting coyotes, fixing roads, picking up garbage, and ect. I have access to some realy good areas, but never realy hunt there because or gas prices :bash:

Post by: demontang on July 29, 2008, 02:22:43 PM: I need to get ahold of them and see if I can get in this year. I realy like to go ask ranchers if I can hunt coyotes on there land, they get realy excited when you shoot 6 in two days :chuckle:

Post by: Ridgerunner on July 29, 2008, 02:31:21 PM: I'd be willing to pay if the ranch was well managed and the price was right. Have done so in the past not frequently but occassionally, farmers deserve to be compensated in some way for what they do, either by cash or by helping out in some way.
