Correct you do need a Weyco permit to access through 3100 gate to get down to wildlife area. That wildlife area is closed to "all public entry".  until May1st. That should include volunteers and wildlife staff. Those elk should not be disturbed thats the purpose of no entry until they migrate back up river.

Planting trees and pulling weeds doesn't scare wildlife, but carrying antlers in your hands does... LOL This state is great

Right!? I watched those elk run through the river when the volunteers got close. Unreal. Bunch of hypocrites this wdfw.

Here is what happened last year, and is going on this year.Number 1 shed hunters are taking sheds before May 1 st .Number 2 the tree planting hasn’t worked in 20 year to the tune of 4.5 million dollars.Number 3 closure means closure by definition,its extremely hypocritical for WDFW and RMEF,to be down there.Number 4 WDFW and RMEF picked up all the antlers last year,and I’m sure this year as well,then took them until the night before May 1 st then threw them back out.Also the big ones didn’t return word has they were auctioned off for some reason.Number 5 WDFW flying drones and driving below spooking the elk.WE THE TAX PAYERS own the wildlife and the sheds and without a public process they shouldn’t be doing what there doing.In addition master hunters have been involved as well, and is a complete contradiction to the ethics of the program.I personally called in a made a complaint about this and I urge all sportsman on this sight to do the same CHANGE COMES IN NUMBERS.

You need a Weyerhaueser permit for all of their land up there.

a Weyerhaeuser permit is not required on the 3100 road that goes down to the mudflow.  Weyco has it a "carve out" they are calling a "public access corridor".  Its a non-motorized corridor.  Additionally, they also have a "public access corridor" up the 4100 to the DNR land.  Underneath their beneficent actions on these corridors are underlying easements that may provide public access anyway, if any one is interested in looking closely.
