Has anyone heard anything about Winston Creek Land?
« on: May 19, 2013, 04:06:50 PM »
My dad called me from work the other night and said that his boss who has hunted Winston Creek with us several times said there are different land plots that have been sold in the Winston Unit and you can't hunt certain areas unless you buy in for that plot? Has anyone heard anything? Just Wondering??

That would suck.  I applied for special permit for this area too.   

Progressives are coming for your guns. 
What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.

Herd the same thing from a retired Weyco logger.  All of their land is going to be either by permit only or auctioned off for lease, even the little couple hundred acre plots.   :bash:

If true, this is another huge piece of bad news for westside hunters. I figured St. Helens would not fall till next year.

Can anyone confirm anything official?

That's what I was thinking also.

With all the crap that's been going on here on the west side, I will continue to only hunt the east side from here on out!

I haven't seen anything official but, its definatly trending that direction sooner than later. Archery guys have been locked out for years due to fire danger. What part of killing elk on foot causes fire? Even us younger guys can start talking bout the good ol' days.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

All of weyco land is going that way. They are going to charge an access fee to only a certain amount of hunters. They are also dividing out seperate tracts within each property that people can buy into for just themselves to have hunting access to.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

I know all the Port Blakley land on Green Mountain was leased off for what I understand to be $10,000. Not positive but I believe the Port Blakely land along the 200 and 250 line is included in this lease. Going to be hard to keep up with those prices !!  Last year these areas were allowing walk in access for the public but I guess those days are over.  Welcome to the future folks !!

Dear Mr. Boman,

Thank you for your inquiry about our Longbell Road property. I'm sorry to disappoint you but yes that piece of property has been leased and there is currently no public access. I hope this answers your question, if I you need anything else please let me know.

This is from Port Blakley themselves. This sucks cause this was one of our late season archery spots.
