Weyerhauser Permits

[TikkaT3-270Shortmag]

Curious how many are still refusing to buy it? Last year everyone was not going to buy it and not give in.  I wonder how many guys caved in and are gonna buy one this year?

[Tbob]

I will not be buying one this year.

Not our group! We even had toutle tags last year and didn't get them

I've never hunted down that way, but thinking about it this year.  How much of the Mossyrock and Randle unit timberlands are part of the permitted area (roughly, like a lot or a little, or most, or half)?

We bought it last year.  It started out rather rough...poor gate locations, poor maps, trying to get from point A to point B was a disaster!  By the time late buck came along most of the bugs were worked out.  It was great from then on.  Weyco is bound to be even better this year, I'd assume. 

Still issues of trying to get out of Weyco and on to land that is not theirs.  Often making it very difficult to get to your second or third spots without back tracking for an hour.  But, all-in-all we didn't mind it too bad once we learned our limitations and planned each day better.  We will buy it again this year.

We hunted public land last year and were still able to get into elk pretty regularly.  I guess it'll come down to a debate with my hunting partner(s) if I'm the only one that wants to stay on public land.

That crap is coming my way ..$ 200 for motorized and $ 50 non-motorized .. I think there is a lot of anger coming this way 

[RadSav]

Still way better than Europe, Texas or the East Coast!

Why pay all that money to hunt sick, emaciated, hoof rot elk? For just a little more money you can buy an Idaho elk tag, and hunt healthy elk on public land.

No way id give them 150.00 dollars.I had a Toutle cow tag last year and was able to kill one on state land, i must say though it wouldve been easier with a weyco pass but...i just refuse

I agree with radsav the access sucked! Hunting out of state is alot more expensive!! Not only the license and tags, but the fuel, hotel/camp and the time off adds up to alot more imo.  I want to hunt out of state but due to work I can't yet.

Is there a good map of permit required areas/public land?

[Bigshooter]

Here are my thoughts.  I'm going to hopefully buy a Vail permit (If they don't sell out in less than 2mins.)  I am going to buy a st. helens permit.  I am going to MT to hunt deer.  And if I draw another out of state tag I will be going on that hunt also and if I don't draw I might still go to ID on a deer hunt.  I am not rich but I know it costs money to hunt so I save all year long so that when hunting season is here I can hunt.  If you wait until "you have the money" you will never hunt like you want to.

I just buy the gmu maps for the area.  When u buy the permit they will send u a map with all.the access gates

[kodiak 907]

I was trying to avoid buying a pass. Is that even possible down that way for west side elk.
