you live and die by the dot on the sign not what the map says they change those dots often and it is a
$550 ticket if you are caught behind that red dot driving around even if the gate is open.

I am not sure what you are referring to, My permit clearly states that I am allowed in area after 3:00 PM Mon-Friday, and all day Sat, Sun, I drive in on a GREEN dot road, that says area is open to drive in, however I follow the rules according to my understanding, AFTER 3:00 PM on weekdays, and ALL DAY Sat, Sun.
The Gate I drive in is/has ALWAYS been GREEN, I do not go behind red, even though I would, because I have a permit authorising me to be in there, Weyerhaeuser Policy..
By submitting this form I agree to read and abide
by the rules set forth for Spring Bear Hunting.
