What was the story on access to Port Blakely during early archery?   Was motorized access allowed in the North end of the Winston?

No gates are to be opened for Archery or any other season.  I can confirm that none were opened during early archery.  Also from a couple posts on here that no gates will be opened during other seasons per Port Blakely.  Its a beautiful thing isn't it.

GO KILL A ELK

Best advice I can give is to call the hot line for the area; Weyerhaeuser 360 425 2150, you have to go through the prompts to get the info. What I know to be fact is some of these gates will be open on a limited basis. The 1900 line up Spirit lake Hwy. will probably be open on weekends only with no camping and only for day use. The Eastern end of this unit holds the most Elk on the boundary of the Margaret unit. Last season opening weekend of rifle season 57? bulls came out of that area. As for the lower West end last season the gates remained open to drive in access all season long. It is known down here that Weyerhaeuser covers there no entry signs with black plastic when the roads are open but some of the folks (not necessarily hunters) will pull this plastic off to keep people out. Therefore your best information on a weekly basis is the hot line. Hope this helps and good hunting!
