Title: Looking for info on Willapa Hills unit 506
Post by: Ziptie on October 23, 2013, 11:57:59 AM: I used to hunt it before all the changes in the last two or three years. How much asses do you get with the pass? Are all the gates open? What point are they closed? Any info would help.

Thanks,
Zip

I am willing to pay for the pass, I just wanted to know if the unit is really “open” to drive in and walk in. So how far back can you drive in with the pass are all the gates open? My group hunted it for 32 years before the change and I am hoping we could get into our old old areas from way back in the day…. :) 

I drew muzzy cow in the unit and walked well behind locked gates. Also from what I have heard Rayonier patrols their land pretty well. Don't know if that is BS just what I was told.

Then all the way over to grants pass. So lots of access with the pass. Haven't seen to many people up there so I'm looking forward to elk season. Should be a lot less people than when it was open to everyone
