At the last 'Neocachers Network' event cache, I found out two things about State Trust Land.

1. The permit is valid for 'active' hunting and fishing. Scouting doesn't fit the definition...or so I was told.

2. There are only two State Trust Land 'police' in the entire state. But, other agencies can assist with enforcement.

Another thought about permits might be a group permit for the event...

That is correct.
However, even if it's not hunting season, you might be in the area 'scouting for an upcoming hunt' <wink, wink, nudge,nudge>, which is an acceptable activity. You might just accidentally 'stumble across' a Geocache while out there.

Just an additional note: A valid hunting or fishing license gives you the right to enter state trust lands for the purpose of hunting or fishing, but if you are engaging in other recreational activities, you need the permit mentioned below -- at least that's my understanding.

Since we’ve had some new folks here recently, let me mention why being able to identify State Trust Land is important. It’s important because if you’re on State Trust Land, even on foot, you need a permit. The permit is $15 a year for individuals, $20 for families. The fine for being on State Trust Land without a permit is $500. You can download the permit application from http://tinyurl.com/8x959.
