Anyone hunt either of these units during the late season? If so...how are the crowds?
-
not that bad if you get off the beaten path...... same as anywhere really, I have no idea where im hunting elk, this early season for me was awful
-
Haven't hunted the willapa in the late season, but the ryderwood gets busy on the weekends. If you can head out on a week day. It won't be crowded. Hope for some snow. Makes the hunting pretty good in there.
-
With the roads open its tough getting off the beaten path. I figure the next best thing is fewer people in the woods.
-
I have hunted Ryderwood for years. This will be my first year hunting there in archery but I can tell you there is alot of people that hunt that unit. It seems that there is more people every year. I know that there wasnt hardly anything killed in early archery or muzzy but you never know you might be able to to get one of those hoof rotted cows!! I would hunt the willapa hills much better hunting.

Ive gone in the 1000 line in willapa a few times.Last year there was too much snow were i hunt thou.
-
1000 line is washed out at the first or second bridge according to the wherehouser guys.

I find it hard to believe they havnt fixed that yet.It is a mainline after all.Sounds like lumber jacks trying to keep some hunters out to me... :chuckle: :chuckle:

They aren't going to fix it any time soon, if ever. At least that is what I have been told.
-
It wasn't a logger that told us that... And we were also told that they were thinking it will be a long while before they fix it, if they ever do.
-
All of the Weyerhaeuser land that makes up the west end of the Ryderwood unit is now walk in only. Like was said before it might be a while before they fix some of the bridges.
-
This all from that storm last year????Can you go around the bridge on some of those lower roads????
-
Sure it's all open. You just have to walk or ride a non-motorised vehicle. And yes it's all from the storm last December. As far as I know the only bridge left standing is about ten miles upriver from Pe Ell.

Wow i know our normal elk by willapabay was hammered and they are logging like grazy there.

It's been almost a year of logging nothing but blowdown. There still is a lot on the ground.

Regarding Willapa Hills.....if the 1000 line is blown out are there other good access points coming from the north or should I come in from the south?
