Weyerhaeuser St. Helens permit

[deerslayer13]

Does anybody have any information on the St. Helens permit being divided into a north and south area (two separate permits)?? Heard a rumor that they will be doing this in 2022

[fowl smacker]

Longview-St. Helens is the only one shown on their website.  Not split.

[deerslayer13]

I heard that it will be changing in 2022. Just curious is anyone else has heard anything

[bobcat]

That would make a lot of sense. It's such a huge area as it is. Even split in half each individual area would still be as big or bigger than most, or maybe all, of the other permit areas.

Hope they keep it "status quo"! I see nothing wrong with getting more bang for your buck.

Good luck getting one..... I logged in at 7:00:01, had all my info submitted in 4 minutes then got told to contact the administrator due to an error. Took 20 minutes to get back to the purchase page and by that time, it said "Pending sold out". Soon after watching the "wheel of death" for another 10 minutes, it was declared sold out for all three permits. UNREAL.

I received the successful and gave me a payment button to click with the amount and that took me to a green circle of death.

I just received an email from them saying they know who was in on time and will be contacting everyone within the next 2 days to complete payment, I hope that means I got in on time.

About 4,000 permits went that fast. Wow; gettin as bad as Vail. It doesn't look like they're going away anytime soon, but I wish they'd go to a lottery or something other than the internet click derby

[bobcat]

They actually didn't sell out that fast. It was a computer issue. Would be interesting to know how many are still unsold.

Same email I and everyone I know got.
Haven't heard of anybody that was actually successful at buying a permit!

[Edminsterquality]

I successfully bought a permit...

[Angus]

Just bought mine, check that box off, now if that Quality Toutle bull can come through, I can dream can't I?

[HntnFsh]

Congrats you guys!

[dewandgin]

My dad, my two brothers and  myself all got them. But it was a lot of waiting on spinning wheels.

My screen locked up just before the payment page the i got kicked out never received an email.

[medic6]

i got kicked out after confirming vehicle info.  received a late email around 2am with a link that said "our bad" log in and follow the attached link and we will get you a permit.   I did around 9am with and no issues.  id suggest keep an eye out for the email with the link. check spam file too.

[fowl smacker]

I got kicked out the second I clicked buy.  No email.  What a freaking joke.

[HntnFsh]

My sister got the email allowing them to purchase permit. Nothing for me yet. Hopefully it's all alphabetical order

[Dark2Dark]

Ironically, the system worked smoother than ever for me, right up until it said I got my permit but I didn’t give a method of payment.

I was frustrated, but got the email later about the crash and an email just after midnight to sign in and pay (I’m guessing they are emailing based on the order you were in the queue because I was in like lightning!!!) I got on my laptop and paid in the middle of the night even though it said I had till 5pm. Didn’t want to risk it.

I sent them an email last night expressing frustrations. They make millions and millions of dollars on this, but won’t pay to upgrade their server to handle the process adequately.

[Bigshooter]

I got the email that allowed me to buy the permit right before 1am.  The email says I have until 5pm to buy it today.

to all the lucky winners some free advice from a group that had it last year if you are looking for elk start scouting early and often. We did not scout enough and had trouble finding elk and it seemed like most of the ones we did find were limping. lots of deer.  From our experience I would NOT start on the 1100 line.Again just some free advice from last year. I grew up hunting that country and we took a lot of elk back in the day but as they say it ain't what it used to be good luck to all
