All woods closed?

[Rdnkgirl88]

So all the gates I have been seeing say everything is closed to walking, riding, driving, everything.

Today I went for a drive up to the Skookumchuck and there were a bunch of guys pheasant hunting, so I am confused as to what is and isn't closed.

Anyone know for sure? What about Capital Forest?

Thanks!

Should all be closed for awhile lots of rain is needed

capital forest is open....spent 8 hours out there last weekend and never saw an animal

I would venture to say that the area that was being hunted by Phesant hunters was WDFW and the surrounding gates are owned by WH.
the word is, all WH land is closed to all access.

For the most part, state land is still open (some state is closed) and most private timberland is closed, though some good areas on the N coast are still open.

Capitol Forest is open. I also spent some time out there last week scouting since the area around my cabin is closed. Good luck. I think with most private Timberland closed, some of the other recreational people out there will seek what is open.

State land is open

Having this same problem in Kitsap county. Me and my hunting group were out for early muzzy and every gate we went to had the same sign. One of my partners was even told by a gas attendant that he was pretty sure Kitsap county had closed hunting because of fire danger. I posted on the muzzy forums but if anyone has any information on closures please share. I have a feeling my early hunt season may be over here in Kitsap county.

not sure what signs your seeing but when i was out yesterday none of the blue gates were posted.

Big red signs out on the skook and big hanaford.....the ones leading into Vail Tree Farm.

I am assuming since Capital Forest is state land we need one of those lovely discover passes? LOL

Gee, this might work out really well for the state. The only land left around here to hunt is DNR. I bet they're going to see a big increase in Discover pass sales in the next couple of weeks. And then for all those who elect not to purchase one, that will be another $100 to $200 to the state, depending on what they decide to cite you for.

No lie, its crazy to spend so much money on a license, tags, special permits you never get drawn for, and now a discovery pass all for a hope to go hunting! I miss the rain!
