Went to unit 346 to pull my trail camera and I notice these new signs all over the place.

This is correct. I spoke to Plum Creek on Thursday. They've sold all their parcels in the Manastash to the WDFW except for one up near Quartz and that one will change ownership around the end of December this year. Gonna start seeing more signs soon now that the deals have been finalized.
