What info does anyone have on these areas for MF for deer, elk, bear and cougar? First year hunting these areas.
Thanks

For most of 520, 530, and 550 you would need a Weyerhaeuser access pass, which you cannot buy anymore. 564 is mostly private and the portion that's public is over-hunted. So I'd say your best bet would be 560, as it is mostly public land.

:yeah:

Looks like east side hunting for next year or purchase a permit unless the state does something about the permits for access. It would never have come to this if stupid people didnt leave trash all over.
I'm reading through the reg as well as huntwashingtonstate.com. where are the public lands for hunting western wa?
-
Unit 560, Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
-
Dang, any suggestions for eastern wa? These tree farms are ridiculous.
Thanks for the help.

Depends on if you're after deer or elk. What elk tag do you have or have you purchased it yet?
-
MF for deer,western elk, bear and cougar. I now know I need to do archery or muzzleloader or get lucky and draw a multi season tag.

I think the trash thing is another way to get your money if the gates are locked all year how does trash get in the woods same with vandalism yes it happens but its not hunters. If you want to see trash look at the end of any road where the Mexicans are cutting fir bows or salal look at the stuff they leave and the piles of *censored* and toilet paper but that's okay they work for weyerhauser they worked on a place behind my house for 2 weeks there must have been a hundred piles on the road. Nobody carried a refrigerater a mile in the woods to piss off weyerhauser.

They are not hurting for money, 7 billion last year. After hunting in new mexico and missouri and now fishing here I believe the trash. For whatever reason ppl took flat screens, dryer, Frige , tires(olympic forest) giant stuffed animals into the national forests shot it up and left it. Jblm spend hundreds of thousands to clean up dumping to include cars. Some of it is sportsmen and some idiots. It really is about controlling who comes in and in a way improves hunting. Looking at some stats harvest rates and quality improved last year.
