Ryderwood access?

[Ghost Hunter]

 Scouting this weekend.  Is a lot of this unit shut down for access?  Planning on focusing most of my muzzleloader time in this unit.

I would assume that the majority of it is closed to public access. At least the Weyerhaeuser ground is. Try calling the Weyerhaeuser access hotline. The number is listed in the hunting regs or on Weyerhaeuser maps if you have one.

Shut down for fire danger.

It'll be open by the muzzle season for sure, you just won't be able to scout much 

[letmhunt]

you shouldnt scout during archery season anyway.

Didn't realize archery was open on the west side in August   Guess I need to pay more attention   But then with a multi-season tag, do I have a free pass   Guess I shouldn't be bear hunting during archery too   I'll try not to mess up your hunt or anyone elses

I scout whenever I have time, which lately isn't very often at all. But if it happens to be during some other season that I don't have a license/tag for, oh well. Not my problem. A guy has just as much right to be out there scouting as another guy does to be out there hunting. I don't recall anytime that me being out there scouting has had any affect on anybody's hunt anyway.

--If anybody told me that I would probably punch him in the face!

Ya no S__T.  I dont rifle hunt but if you did, you'd have to wait for the archers, and smoke polers to finish before you scouted and that aint no good.

Thats funny. You guys cant scout during archery season 

I got my ass chewed out up st helens one time for screwing up a guys bull hunt during archery season. Hell, I was on a damn road watching these elk in Loo-Wit none the less, they finally moved off and here comes a guy in a suburbon. Comes halling ass down the road by Ted Gilbert , we were on out quads.

"You guys just screwed up my hunt, what the hell are you doing in here if your not hunting! You *censored*s! I just had a bull within 50 tyards and you scred him off!"



My uncle and I say" Dude, you were hunting in Loo-wit you dip stick! "

Pissed off hunter " Bull s!@t ! I know the boundry for Margret" ......as we pulled out the regs and showed him he was in Loo-wit  He got in his rig and left.

if someone told me i couldnt scout during a certain time i would laugh and scout even harder. if i scare someones game they were hunting rite then , i would feel bad and leave but not because i might scare there animal they hunt next month or week.

 I disagree, but I think the scouting should be done in a manner careful not to interfere with anyone's archery hunt. Driving driveable roads should not interfere, I've never hear of archery road hunting. As long as the person scouting is not pushing animals out on foot, just glassing from a good distance they are OK.

 You are right D- about scouting from the road.  I don't know very many archery road hunters, at least no consistently successful ones.
