Timberland Hunting Permit
« on: January 29, 2018, 01:00:31 PM »
I'm new to WA and am thinking about buying a hunting permit from a timber company.  Does anyone have personal experience with this?  Would it be a good investment?  Or should I stick to public land?  Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve bought Pe Ell South in the past, and have the Vail one this year. Whether it’s worth it will depend on what you are looking for (deer vs Elk), and what type of experience you are looking for. Fee free to shoot me a message if you have specific questions.

What part of the state will you be Hunting. I’ll be getting one from IEP just because they have land close to home and I can make day trips since I only have a couple weekends to get away.  Also good for taking the boys out small game hunting and general family hikes.

Just remember too, they close a lot of land down for early archery due to fire danger, this can impact the intended value of the permit.  On the other hand if you are willing to do a little work most of the permits allow up to 2 cords of wood, gallons of berries, mushrooms and camping.  You could make some of that back and save on some summer vacation cash vise staying at a campground.

I'm looking at the western part of the state, land owned by Rayonier.

Since going to the permit system, Weyco has never shut down their land in Washington for fire danger. The firewood, berries, etc is for personal consumption. Getting caught selling it would most likely result in you never being able to buy an access permit again.

I understand but it would save you that money, I guess I should have been more specific.

Sorry, didn’t read it that way the first time. I see what you’re saying.
