Got a letter Today !!
It gives a web address
http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/game/hunter/blackbear/education/
They also want you to sign up for e=mail notification of any recent damage noticed by employees.
It may be late, but a step in the right direction.....

I thought their hunt area was pretty small, but on closer inspection, It is not that bad, no daily closures, just until after 3:00 Mon-Fri....
And the Walk-in area is open 7 days a week..

They also asked us to sign up for an e-mail to possibly send more information about damage, or report recent damage.

I was looking at the map. Looks like a good amount of land to hunt. I have a question though. I noticed the red, green, and yellow dots. Yellow says restricted. Anyone know if we will be able to get keys for those gates, or is it walk-in only past those gates?

Some of the gates that are shown as yellow on the map are actually green dot gates, which are open and you can drive in. I've also seen some red dot gates that are open and those I'm not sure about. Technically you're not supposed to be in there with a motorized vehicle but then why is the gate open? Plus with the spring bear permit and that map, you might be ok driving in there. I know if you walk in you're bound to have somebody drive in and pass you right up as you're walking in.
The westerly area is pretty much wide open for access. The southeasterly area has a few green dot gates which the map shows as yellow. The walk in area to the north really is all red dot and really is a walk in only area just as the map shows.

Yellow usually means motorized access on weekends only, but that may have changed. It is likely you will not get keys to any Weyco gate. As far as them being open and having a red dot, it is not okay to enter these areas. They may have the gates open for a variety of reasons. It is likely they are working in the area. Either logging, road construction, etc... Weyco, unlike SPI, does not open and close their gates after every vehicle that passes through them.
FYI, Weyco has recently (last Sept.) employed a Pe Ell police officer to patrol their lands.
Good luck!

bobcat, is correct in that a lot of times the color coding on the maps does not match the color coding on the ground. Go with whatever the sign at the gate says.
