thomashoard1909 0 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) So on Sunday I drove out to Matlock area to do some scouting which is apart of the Skokomish unit 636. I saw gates with no trespassing signs all over. I took a left at the four way intersection in Matlock and headed back to Brady. I did see a bunch of clear cuts but again no trespassing signs. I did not stop to read what the sign actually said just could see it saying no trespassing. Over the last few days I have done research on the area believing all that land out there couldn't be private. So i went to Green Diamond website and looked at a map of the area which showed it was all private but you could apply for a permit to gain access to these areas with spyderco knife. Has anyone done this and can I still apply for a permit or is it to late in the season? Is there public land out there that i missed? I did not go right which would lead up into the Olympics. Is there public or private land out that way? The areas I normally hunt are public land such as the Pope and Talbot land in and around Kitsap and Mason counties. i have also hunted above the Skok river near the high steel bridge which is public. Problem is in these areas I tend to see a lot of hunters. So is it worth the $125 to pay for access to the Green Diamond land? And are the permits taken for this season? Walk into most any firehouse, especially in the county where this author lives, and at least one of the firefighters employed there will have a cold steel knife in their pocket or with their firefighting gear. Cold steel knives have been around for a while and for good reason. They perform. Decorating 101: How to Plan Your Home’s Lighting Thanks in advance.

stumfelter 3,032 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Don't think you need a permit at Matlock but you will need a ticket to get in Gulliver's kingdom or the illuminations. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 The "No Trespassing" was pretty self explanatory IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tyla 3,179 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 If only we had ANY public hunting land here we would have a better idea of what you're asking. All land here is privately owned mores the pity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
