It's hard to tell what they open. So far my key opens more gates that say no motorized access than anything else.

I am curious. Are we exempt from the "no motorized access"?

So are the gates with a star by them the ones that you can actually open with your keys?

No, those are all of the gates.

I asked the DNR that today and the answer was not only no, but hell no.

WTF are the keys for then?
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Again, exactally what i asked. Evidently the no motorized access has to do with the city of everett watershed. Any road that goes through the watershed, regardless of how long or where it ends is closed. Said they are worried about oil or gas coming off a vehicle and contamanating the wather supply.

That is retarded, you can drive right up next to Spada lake! Why in the hell would they give you a key then? Are they just trying to test your self-restraint or was the guy you talked to maybe just talking out his ass?

If that's the case then my key doesn't work anywhere. Why am I letting them hold a $100 deposit for a key that works no where?

That doesn't make much sense, I think the person washelkhntr talked to didn't know what they were talking about, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to give you the key.

Trust me, i feel your pain. I stressed my displeasure with giving them money for a key that is usless.  chris Hankey the dnr  manager out of sedro wooley was the one i spoke with about it.

What is the purpose of the key then?

Geetings Everyone

First time posting, long time hunting.  I have Monroe Bear permit also and have been out and about Pre and during the season.  I put 100+ miles on my truck today with out finding much promising sign.  Maybe I'm just used to seeing allot more sign & bears in the spring.

 To the guy heading up to Verlot,  I was up there today.  The key works in the first 2 gates.  The 3rd gate is federal so its closed (walk in).  First gate was 2 miles of drivable road with a few spurs heading off.  Lots of skunk cabbage and sping grass but didn't see any scat, scrapes prints or any sign of bear.  second gates is drivable for 1/2 mile then the rest by foot.

Good luck to everyone and look forward to hearing about your success.

Bears will be a lot more active starting about mid-May.

I bet you'll start seeing a lot of sign then, in the same places where you're seeing nothing now.

As long as you have your key and paperwork you will be fine behind all those gates you can open.  Every gate is posted no vehicles.
