I posted this once before on here.. My folks lived right out of Raymond back in 2008, they had lived there for about 8 months before elk season. The locals will treat you like an outcast and will be very little help. But once you get ot know some of them they might help out a little.

I hunted the hills due east of the town Menlo,  I hunted hard and found hte elk and it took three days to put one down. Big elk they got over there compared to the eastside.  I was told and learned that the elk there are not like hunting the eastside, they dont run 20 miles hwen they are spooked, the jsut head for the trees and brush...

I did havea local, who i guess didnt like me driving past his rig in the dark and hunting this clearcut, this ass hat at first light came down in his truck and fired off three rounds outside his truck.. he did htis out of being pissed, i shot my bull there the next morning....

I looked for a off green 4runner for two weeks and never found the SOB......

good luck......   i think the road was green crick or somehting like that, lots and lots of land...
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

I have been hunting there for the last 4 years with great success.  Spoke with weyco rentacops last season and they said there will be no camping at all and weyco was trying to decide if it would be open all week or just on weekends like some of their other properties.  They wont announce there decision until just before the season. They were even talking about closing the gate at hwy6 during the seasons.  That would be 10+ miles to walk or ride to where we hunted. Lots of elk and even more people driving the roads.  I have only been for mod firearm.

If your talking about rock creek it's closed and is permit only. You have to be an employee to get a permit.

I was heading down that way one time year before last, hit a large mudpuddle just soth of Raymond and my serpentine belt slid off.
So there I was D.O.T.R. at 4:30 in the morning in South Bend on a Sunday morning.
Had a local stop and help, he would not leave until I was rolling again, even though it interfered with his hunting time, he even made a trip to his home to get the right size wrench.

As far as the info I gave about the newly acquired weyco lands by "hancock" and the new gates.  I initially got that from our local fish and wildlife officer.  Next, my friend talked to the security officer for Hancock just south of here.  He gave him all the details I shared.

Interesting. I hope it's true. My dad is a forestry consultant for most of the major timber companies in this state and he hadn't heard about it. He doesn't cruise for either of the two though since they have company cruisers. He's looking into more details for me.

Hey man I have a friend who has hunted a bunch down there. You need to go to the greys river tward the fish hatchery. If you dont minid walking  go hunt eden valley behind rossberg store. Between eden valley and the columbia there are some nice bulls! According to my co-worker who i know pretty well. There is also always the upper Nasalle. Good luck and good hunting!

Most of the Upper Naselle and Salmon Creek are now permit only access during hunting seasons as per Rayonier Timber effective immediately. Fossil Creek too.

thats what i said earlier, and it seems no one saw that. I wasnt trying to steer anyone out of hunting areas but rather away from a trespassing ticket.

please look at the maps everyone this is new for this year and permits are now sold out for both areas in less than a month.
