Trapping on Weyerhaeuser land
« on: July 21, 2016, 11:09:38 AM »
Well, I finally found someone at WEYCO to talk to that has some authority to make changes.
Unfortunately they are not going to  change anything this year. It sounds like just a paperwork thing. They will not make changes because the permits are all out and they do not want to retroactively change things. So, there will be no trapping allowed in 2016 on WEYCO lands.
The person I talked to did seem willing to listen though and I am going to have a sit down meeting in the fall when they are going over the permit program for next year. Maybe I can convince them to allow trapping in 2017, possibly after the 1st of the year. We will see.

Thank you.

Good on you Bruce for keeping after it.  If nothing else it should be good trapping next year!  Keep up the fight.  I'm glad you found someone who will at least listen, and hopefully entertain the ideas you put forward.

Funny I was just reading up on the Weyco permits and was going to get one and seen trapping was not allowed.  The small amount of firewood and the lack of trapping makes getting one just for elk hunting a little expensive.

Bad news to report. I heard from Weyerhaeuser last night and they have decided to not allow trapping on their land. There will be a no trapping clause in all there access permits in WA and OR.
They said this was for "safety reasons". We all know that is BS. OR had proposed to only allow cage trapping on Weyerhaeuser lands and of course that is all we have in WA. Apparently there is someone there does not like trapping. Only thing I can think of. Show me a way that a cage trap is going to be dangerous and I'll eat my words.
Well, I tried and I am not sure if there is any where to go now. I was very hopeful after our meeting in November but No dice.

There will be plenty standing in line to help them out. 

Just look at the bear hunters....

 :yeah:

It has to be frustrating to argue against that type of empty justifications, would be easier to take if they just came right out and said we don't want you doing it.

Could certainly respect the honesty that way even if it isn't the answer that was being looked for.
