If you find a road and the gate is unlocked during Firearm season, my :twocents: is just stay out or walk in... These ass hat companies don't place signs saying "no vehicles" or "walk in only" etc. etc.. then when they leave your locked in... Thats why I love Archery.. gates open all September... at least in Sno County!

I appreciate controlled logging as well... makes for healthier deer in more numbers (BIG bears too!). Problem is, all these "new" roads are always locked... I don't mind spur roads being locked or barricaded father up, but at the main entrance...? I love a good boot to ground hunt, but, 20-30 miles of roads from the main gate is a lil much...

I understand what your saying about the gates but you can't blame the timber companies when they have to clean up all the illegal garbage dumping. All these gates are now needed. My family owns several pieces of equipment and have had them vandalized while sitting on green roads with no gates. Your talking big bucks for repair. Gates help protect equipment and save on the garbage cleanup fees.

that logging is not even close to recent! never had a problem finding deer on our jobs.
This was the next ridge over about 1/2 mile.

Stick with your original plan ...hunt the same area as you always have ...deer do no careless about logging machinery ....I have see deer standing right in the heat of a logging operation ...bucks too !!! I want to see logging back the way it used to be ...wide open ...logging is the best thing for blacktail habitat !! more clear cuts means more deer :tup:
:yeah:

Agreed. I personally have been on timber sale property and have BT come in, because they like eating the little sweet leaves that are on the top of the trees and now can get to them! Its like a treat. They dont care.

how do you guys get permission to hunt logging roads?you don't need permission to hunt state, forest service and some privately owned lands with logging roads.
