Title: Weyerhaeuser phone number?
Post by: Little Fish on August 26, 2008, 01:46:07 PM: Does anyone have number for Weyerhaeuser security? If I kill an elk this year it would be nice to call security so I can drive in a pull the animal out.
Thanks,
LF

They used to give the combination out to hunters to get a downed animal. I was told that it saved a lot of time and money versus replacing the gates and locks that hunters were cutting off to drive in and get the animal. I did hear that security would show up at the gate and escort people in to get an animal, but i don't know how true it is.

This is a big cooperative effort between many volunteer organizations, Weyerhaeuser, and WDFW to provide additional motorized access during the week to the majority of the Weyerhaeuser St. Helens Tree Farm during the special elk permit seasons. Thanks to the hard work of participants, we had a very successful first year in 2007 and provided additional weekday motorized access for hunters to approximately 86% of the St. Helens Tree Farm.

You can help to provide access by signing up as a volunteer on the calendar provided. This volunteer program is MH eligible.

We appreciate your help and look forward to another safe and successful year!

Last year during early archery they were NOT escorting people in to get animals until late the second week after it had rained at least in the winston unit

They asked what gate, road, vehicle description, and vehicle licence plates. And they let us go in and get the elk. A Gamy did come check on us. It was really nice carrying it about 100yds instead of 4 miles. I shot it with about 30 mins of light left. It would have been an all nighter.

Anyone have any luck with this number recently? Does the DNR do the same thing for there gates? If so anyone have their number?

Post by: New England Native on November 13, 2008, 04:11:26 PM: the number 1 800 458 0274 is the same as I have. In the recording it has an option to press a number to get ahold of an operator if you have a downed animal behind a gate for possible access.

We lucked out during the early season and were able to get in ONLY because someone broke the lock and the gate was open. When I called they told me that they did not have anyone in the area and that we would have to walk in. When I told them it was open they were shocked, gave me permission but also told me that I could be locked in until the following day.

Post by: funkster on November 13, 2008, 05:21:55 PM: They still will open the gate if someone is working in the area you are in. We got an elk down early season and they met us at the gate. They arrived about 1 hour after the call which was perfect timing for us to actually get to the gate hustling are butts off. No problem's at all, very nice people if you treat them with respect they will do the same. I don't really want to post the # but if you are really gonna go behind weyco gates pm me and I will give you the number. Remember let's not abuse this privilege.

Post by: billythekidrock on November 13, 2008, 10:21:53 PM: The number is also listed on the signs at the gates. When you call you will want to know the gate number, not the road number.

Post by: Huntbear on November 14, 2008, 07:10:56 AM: 360-425-2150 is the main office number. We were told this season by security to call that number and they will send you to the proper person to give you a pass code to go in and get your animal out.
