I got a modern bull myself and am on cloud 9... I better shell out the $ to Weyco before the high wears off.
After looking closer, I got the modern general season tag.. will probably start a different thread.

We got 2 of the 4 tags for Modern Firearm. I like that it's broken up into 2 hunts but I hope we're not locked out for the Sept 22-30 hunt for fire danger. I believe permits for that area go up on June 23. Can't wait!If you have a permit, and there's fire danger, you can still go in. Just have to have shovel, fire extinguisher, and a axe I believe. Had pe ell pass last year and could get in when everything else was shut down

Not necessarily from what I understand. All private timberlands are required to use the DNR fire-danger system. This makes sense, since there could be problems if mixed/adjacent owners were all on different plans.
If it gets to level IV, it's shut down period. Landowners can set own rules on top of DNR. Hancock up my way shuts down to permit holder access almost every summer. Last year IIRC west of I-5 not much closed but east of I-5 most did. So Pe Ell was open because DNR level allowed it, and Weyco managers didn't see a reason to shut it down. That is not saying it can't happen any time.

From reading the rules it sounds like Weyerhaeuser may not allow motorized access during extreme fire danger. But apparently walk in access will be allowed no matter what.I don't think those policies are in any way a guarantee that it won't close altogether. #9 could be interpreted that way, but it could also be interpreted as "Close" means closed period. I think if they think conditions warrant it, they continue to close too all public access. DNR fire levels will apply also.
Read numbers 9 and 13:

#9:
"Access is 7 days a week from August 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015, provided that
Weyerhaeuser reserves the right to close or limit motorized access to the Property because of
extreme fire danger or other extreme weather conditions, including when undue damage may occur to roads."
