Winston Campers
« on: November 28, 2010, 07:59:45 PM »
Well just got home from a weekend in the Winston unit.  On Friday on of the guys from our group ran into Weyco security.  He found out that Weyco was in trying to get all of the unauthorized campers out of the treefarm, and if people continue to disregard the rules then they are going jump on the band wagon with Port Blakeley and close the gates permanently.

Where the hell were they during Modern Firearm Season? Personally I hope they lock every gate in the unit and leave them locked, year round!

Camping is not allowed on any of the Weyco land in St Helens Tree farm.  There is some State land in between Weyco and Port Blakeley, and camping is kinda allowed there.

It would stop a hell of a lot of the poaching and other abuses, and make for a quality hunt if your willing to work...just a little.

You don't need a flatter shooting rifle or a larger caliber.What you need is good field marksmanship. Jeff Cooper.

I have always said that they should allow camping down below , gravel pit areas of 1900, WDFW could put a dumpster and porta potties up to keep man poo and trash down.
It would be a perfect place to camp, beats the corner.

It is always the dumb A$%%$ that ruin it for the rest of us. I was up in Vail this weekend walking my dog and looking for my knife ( witch I found ) :IBCOOL: and ran into a pile of garbage. Then the niece was asking me why people would do that. But I found a piece of mail with the guys name and address on it so I will be contacting the tree farm and turning him in. ( I hope some thing gets done about it )

You are aware that if this happened; it will include all of the land that is managed by the Vancouver office.  Winston, Coweeman, Toutle, Maraget, and probably parts of the Ryderwood.

If they do this, then any of the contractors ( anything that has to do with Log removal) that work the Treeform should have their keys taken away and  not be allowed to hunt while in the middle of the areas.

if people dont follow the rules they will lock em up reguardless.  Weyerhaeuser threatens it all the time down on the coast where I hunt.  Now they just put red dots on everything with no gates and wait for people to go in and give them tickets.  Some of it might be for Fire Danger, but my father who lives in south bend hears it all the time how they say we will lock em up if we keep finding trash and on our lands.
