I guess I am pretty much throwing a frisbee in to the dark. As for acess permits, where and who do u get these from? Thanks for the replies

I'm not really an expert on the timber company permits (since I've never actually gotten one). I believe the process involves logging onto the Weyerhaeuser website. When the sale opens you have to hit refresh repeatedly because the screen will appear frozen. After doing this for 15 minutes you find out they all sold out and you need to plan on hunting somewhere else for the rest of your hunting career.

The good news is I do not believe any of the areas you mention currently require permits to access. Get down there and check it out- best you can do imo.

A St. Helens tree farm permit for $150 will give you access to the Winston and Coweeman units.

There are 14,000 permits still available so no need to rush.
