I spend time on a few other fishing and hunting sites, but I've been lurking on this site, so I figured I better go legit and create an account and start posting.

Here goes my post with a brief intro: I grew up in Wyoming hunting and fishing, moved to Washington 24 years ago and can't imagine living anywhere else because of all the great fishing we have here.

Then about a year ago my son started pushing me to get back into hunting because he would rather hunt than fish, thus I started lurking around reading about hunting and trying to determine what to get him started hunting. Last month, I got him his first shotgun for his 12th birthday. We've been preparing for his first bird hunt by shooting trap. Then we started sighting my .223 in for a coyote hunt.

Which leads me to the reason that finally got me to sign up. I saw a discussion about hunting coyotes on lumber land, thus my question: How do you get permission to hunt on lumber lands for coyote hunts?

Welcome to the site

welcome.....

Some private timber lands are open to hunt, some are open but gated for walk-in only, some require acccess fees, and some are closed to hunting. It's not as complicated as it sounds. Where do you want to go and maybe someone can advise if it's open.

Welcome to the site.  Which company is the land that you are looking at owned by?

Welcome to the site.

If you can find out the owner you can look up the number and contact them. A good chunch of them are open to the public or sell use permits

Per the question I live in Vancouver. The timber land I want access is a little harder to say I've been a fishing guy but my 12 year old son has a passion for hunting so I'm more in the preparing process I was wondering if there's a map that shows the timber lands and contact numbers. I'm looking for timber lands close to Vancouver and Tillamook. These are the places we fish the most thus could add some coyote hunting in the mix.

The two most common timber companies close to Vancouver are Longview Timber and Weyerhaeuser.  They both allow public access and hunting but almost all of it is walk in only for most of the year.  I dont know of any maps for either though.

If say I wanted to access a specific area on the Kalma river which I think is Weyerhaeuser where do I call and how to I get permission to hunt on the land. Do I have to give exact lat and long or is it granted access to all Weyerhaeuser?
