does anyone know if champion still sells access permits for deer hunting?  If so do you have a phone number?
Thanks

What area are you talking about? Can't speak for everywhere in the state but most old Champion land I am aware of has been sold to other companies.

Champion did sell out, I think it is now owned by Hanncock.  They did however continue the same program.  They do offer access permits, you will need to watch the regs closely, some of the hunting seasons are different dates than the general state wide hunts.

Sorry I don't have a number but I'm sure they have contact info on the WDFW site or the standard regs.

Coonhound is correct about Champions land around Kapowsin. There old land in east Lewis County is now owned by Port Blakely. They allow access, either drive in or walk in.

Rumor has it hancock has traded hands as well but the access permit works like this. You can buy a access permit for around $300. You can hunt the regular seasons for deer but cannot hunt elk. They have a special elk season and the only way you can get drawn is to buy a access permit. The permit is pro-rated thru the year however.
If its brown knock it down

Thanks guys.  I knew hancock bought some but I thought champion still owned a little, guess I was wrong.  The Kapowsin permit is 300.00, ouch.  Anyone have success in that area?

ya, I saw that, pretty nice.  Hard to tell if that is a by-product of the system or just a coincidence.  Anyone know if there are any lakes in that area that hold a few ducks.  Still trying to justify the 300 for the permit. It would be better if you could do more than just deer hunt.

Kapowsin Lake is pretty good for ducks and you can access the back side from the Kapowsin tree farm of course if you have a boat you access it from the public launch for free.  There are also a few ponds down low that you could do a little jump hunting.  Other than that I don't think there is much?

thanks for the help.  would you happen to know if you have to buy the permit before you apply for spring bear or can you apply without the permit and wait to see if you get drawn?

I'm pretty sure you can just apply the same as you do for any other special hunt.

Yes, you can apply for your spring permit before you purchase the access permit.
