Weyerhaeuser Jim Creek?
« on: September 24, 2016, 08:03:11 PM »
Went up scouting a bit today up by Big Jim Creek and Little Jim Creek. Have to say I see a lot of sign of deer, but never saw any. I passed some guy and he said he'd seen a nice 4 point with eye guards. I was wondering if anybody has had luck up there?

I have done two years of Weyerhauser permits, one year with Vail and one year with St Helens.  I did enjoy the lack of crowds that were normal to the St Helen's area.

I have hunted St Helens area since 1976, and it could be a zoo, especially Winston during modern elk, but deer hunting has been pretty bad last few years.  Areas that used to have muddy, worn down deer trails was pretty much sterile.

Don't know if it has gotten any better.

Two years ago was my first time in Vail, but had heard the horror stories, and again, very limited people when I was up there.

This year going to try Green Diamond out of Shelton area. 

As much as it pains me pay to access areas I used to have free run of, can't argue the lack of crowds and seemed to me those willing to fork out the cash to get access were certainly more "respectful" for lack of a better word...

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

Yeah i've thought about getting the St. Helens next year. And I can't agree with you more on the crowds and how "respectful" the people are that you meet in there.
