St Helens Gates
« on: September 14, 2013, 05:10:12 PM »
What are the chances that the gates will be open in the tree farm during muzzy season? I went up today to look around, but everything is locked up. Should I plan on hiking/biking in?

For the early season? Yeah I'd guess closed even with the rain we have had and are going to get. Late season they are typically open in my experience.

I have an archery permit, and got the letter with info about opening gates for permit holders.
And I can tell you, "It ain't happening yet!"
That might change by muzzy and for sure modern, but archery permit holders are hikin' just like everybody else.

I personally met a guy with the Margaret bull tag who wasn't allowed any special access at the 2500 trail head on Weyco land. Hewas biking like the rest of us.
Wishing I was fishing...or in Wyoming
