Closures?

[blood thirsty]

Anybody know if the forests in Williams creek unit and the willapa hills unit are closed due to fire danger?

[Rob Allen]

yes   all the  private(hancock)  forest land is  closed..  all the  roads  are posted  closed to all public  access..  info on  Hancocks website  suggests it may be closed til mid October..

Weyerhaeuser is not closed.

State land in those units are open. I think weyco and rayonier are open if you purchased a permit from them.

Don't forget to tip your parking attendant !And get in early , you don't want to miss the pow wow at the coffee and doughnuts table.

Weather forecast calls for rain starting Friday and going into early next week down in the area you are asking about. Cross your fingers that is rains hard and non-stop for 4 or 5 days....then maybe they will open it for hunting access.

All locked up  They might even lock out the permit guys on WY and rayonier.  The national forests will be packed this year.  That's if they don't close them too.  Not enough state land there for my group let alone all of sw wa to join.  Glad I got an idaho tag on my desk.     every gate on the west side being locked made me glad I did.

Thats why they made Lock cutters

That ticket would cost me a lot more than an Idaho elk tag......   Just weighing my options.

I remember back in the 90's when we had some bad fires east (spokane area if i remember correctly) and the private timber companies closed/locked up there lands...could happen this year.
Protect there resource and if a fire did break out there is no man power to come and fight it..

Thinking people should look somewhere other than the NE corner this year.  Already quite a bit either closed or burned and it will only get worse.  Going to be masses of hunters in the few open road systems this year.

It's still a little early to say if areas will be closed in October or not. We could end up getting plenty of rain in the month of September.

I agree.  I was speaking of archery.  Would expect most to reopen for recreational use by October.

No elk in Williams Creek, even if the roads are open.. 
Sure wish it would rain...
