Thiefneck Island?

[huntncoach]

Anybody got any information on Thiefneck? Do you need special permits, etc. to hunt it? Is it worth the effort getting to it since it is only accessible by boat? Anything that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

If you are looking for public land up that way, you might try Mt. Roosevelt, Keyes-Harrison, or luper MTN. They are all just a few miles up the road..
