Depending on where you're going there might be plenty of road work, washouts or property swaps that occurred since last season.

1st post welcome
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

It would make most sense if it was quilleute/hoh/Quinault since they can hunt that area with indian tags for months at a time.  I had heard things from other peninsula and hood canal tribes about getting a block of land from Rayonier because the quilleutes were upset the others were hunting the dickey and sol duc and went to complain to WDFW.  Supposedly they can go all the way to the bogachiel on their indian tags, but have to use state tags/seasons when between the bogi and the wishkah(?) rivers.   :dunno:  So far all I know is a huge part of the unit got leased out while they were trying to make it a permit area.

Rayonier made the goodman a premium permit area this year and sold every single permit to the quilleute tribe without offering any to the general public.

The big change is the Clearwater. used to be the one area the muzzy boys didn't get to destroy during the rut, now they get it along with every thing else on the peninsula. Sucks to be a rifle elk hunter on the peninsula.

yeah that happened last year.  Those guys were pretty busy and right on the heels of the bowhunters.  All I heard is that there was going to be a big change there for 2016.  Some other guys were speculating that since the permit system and leases have so many guys locked out of so many other spots, that the gates for the elk management area are going to be opened now so people can drive in and more people accommodated.  Again just their guess.  Haven't heard that from anyone else though.

Just read on the WDFW web site that they are considering opening the elk management gates, So you can drive around in twenty year old reprod.

Was out on the Goodman unit today and there are signs everywhere that say No Trespassing Private Property GOODMAN ACCESS PERMIT REQUIRED. Big black and red signs that were not there last weekend. There has not been anything on Rayonier's website all summer about them selling access permits for this area. I wonder who has all of the access permits !!

Update. Apparently the state told the tribe there would be no hunting out of Washington state season on private property,meaning they would have to hunt are seasons, so the tribe backed out of the agreement and now Rayonier is going to offer premium permits to the public. Should be available online pretty soon.

Damn, I know rayonier can do this, as it is private property. But man it sucks, I feel like everything is getting locked up anymore. I used to enjoy cruising all the roads. Checking out the country, looking for grouse. Glassing up animals for fun...

Rayonier sold the land that was formerly access permit only to Nature Conservancy. Open to the public now.

Humptulips ins't quite right.  A few years ago Rayonier sold a corridor along the Clearwater to TNC.  This year they sold the rest of the Clearwater and Kalaloch blocks to FIA, a TIMO from Atlanta.  This property is being managed by American Forest Management, along with the South Bend, 'Skidmore Slough' block, the stuff in the North River country, Bear River, and the Pysht.  I know FIA has sold permits for the Skidmore block out of South Bend, I have not heard their management plans for hunting access on the other blocks, but historically they have done hunting leases in the SE US.

All over western Washington, timberlands have been changing hands this year.... hundreds of thousands of acres that I can think of.  You all should scout your areas well before season to see what access is going to be like.

No, dickey is still mostly Rayonier.  There's some dnr but it is behind Rayonier gates. For the most public you would want sol duc, Clearwater or southern part of physt.

No dickey is still Rayonier.  They sold the Kalaloch ridge property in the Clearwater, but it is still private.
You can access Dickey but need either a general permit for the outer edges or the premium permit for the area by dickey lake over to the hoko river.

I hunted a couple of areas in the Solduc unit.  Very quiet.  Looks like they had rutted hard during the the cool week we had at the beginning of the month and then moved on.  I covered a good amount of ground and did not come across a lot of fresh sine.  I am looking for a monster though, so not the normal places most folks would go.  there were herds in much easier to get to areas with good bulls in them, just not the type I was looking for.  Not my best season, not my worst.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.
