Sent DNR an email yeasterday about Weyerhaeuser land being close in the Toutle unit and this is the reply I got:


Because Weyerhaeuser’s private timberlands have been closed to public access, the Department of Natural Resources block of state lands in that area are inaccessible.

It sucks yes, but we all know that this is a concern each year at this time of year. It is private land and can be closed at the discretion of the timber companies at any time. Everyone that hunts early bow on private timber land is in the same boat, lots of blood,sweet,tears and money goes into elk hunting and we dont need 2,500 threads crying about it. Their property is their property and it is more than that, it is their business and livelihood. If a fire did break out it would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. I thank the timber companies for atleast giving me an opportunity to have access to their land. They keep the hotline updated so if you didn't check it before you left, than dislike yourself. Remember it is a privilege to hunt their land
Yep guess that clears it up ...... :dunno:

Yep, that is what I had to explain to myself as I read the notice Thursday evening.  My little trailer was packed, with valueables waiting by the door to leave the next morning.  I just sat and giggled uncontrollably on the couch.  My wife asked if I was going to get mad, and I just continued to laugh uncontollably.  Oh well it was only 8 years worth of points.  Hopefully it stays closed until late season  :chuckle:

 :bash: Sounds like calls to the game dept. and your state senitors are in order...... Its our land and there should be access.... the timber companys get tax breaks, so maybe its time to do away with those, or at least get the state to make the threat and then maybe we will have driving access.................... :bash: :bash:
Elk 23 for 30 but whos counting!
