willipa hills antlerless tips
« on: June 26, 2013, 01:43:54 PM »
It has been a few years since i have been hunting in and around the willipa hills area. Was drawn for an antlerless tag for elk the second week of Oct. Just looking for someone familiar with the area who can assist me with the latest areas to head for. I have an RV for camping but am hunting solo. Any assistance would be appreciated. I will be scouting there myself before the season but a little extra direction is helpful. I have read all the posts about scouting before applying for special hunts. I only apply for areas I have hunted before however its been a few years and as we know areas change.

Make sure you have a wayco permit otherwise its a wasted tag.  Our group has hunted that area for 30 years until weyco turned it into their private hunt club.  Tons of elk.

Depending on where your planning to go in, you may also need a permit to access Rayonier lands.

Weyerhauser is also buying Longview Timber.  Not sure exactly where their lands are.  That'll probably tie up more land to permit access.

One shot. One kill!

If you guys who are more familiar with this could pass on phone numbers or contact info to obtain these permits it would sure help. At least have that info before i drive down to visit. Thanks

They say permits will be available starting tomorrow... we'll see. Then we'll see how long they last.

You're buying both permits? That will be $450.   :yike:
For a cow elk? You could buy an elk tag from another state for that much!

Looks like mostly Weyerhauser land from the map i saw on their website. http://www.wyrecreationnw.com/CreateDocument/PermitMapImages/PeEll_Map.pdf
Will be grabbing that permit quick and start scouting. Thanks for all the assistance.

Wow, buying both?  hope you get them/one? I drew one of the muzzy tags.  I haven't been in the area in 15 years and that was steelhead fishing but I believe there is enough land that doesn't require a permit.  My thinking is next year permit numbers will increase and the price after 3 years.

 I'll do my scouting and access plan after 8/1.

I will be trying to purchase at least one of them. Maybe we will meet up in those hills scouting. Good luck and keep in touch. Havent decided if i want to bring my RV down there and camp nearby as well. Any suggestions there?

It should be an easy hunt no doubt.. I wouldn't waste $ on either permit.. Weyerhauser only has the back of the unit and fossil creek will be 300$ or
More this year... It's gonna become the rich's man sport an only the ones who are willing to pay will play ... But in all honesty that tag in the 2nd week of October should be an easy hunt .. There's plenty of
Open land to find a cow to shoot .

Thanks for the insight. Requested info from all the timber companies to see who charges what for where. Weyerhauser its $200 for a permit and thats mostly just south of PeEll. See what rayonier is charging. Then i will decide what permits to buy. But still cheaper than a $1000 trespassing fine if i decide to hunt their lands.
