That is awesome!!!!
Despite what WDFW thinks about the cat population in Copalis, there is far too many of them. Cougar will be open all the way to the end of May next season so he will be fair game this time of year.

I'll be up there tomorrow mid afternoon into the evening.  I biked into the 6010 last week and found big piles in the road and at the very end are some really nice cuts, that aren't flat like everywhere else(Saw a good size elk herd back there, 25-30). Not sure If i'll hit the 6010 again or go in off the 8002 and hit some spots towards the Moclips Hwy.  I'll be driving a black Jeep Cherokee, good luck and happy hunting!

Outstanding work Rick.  :tup: It's amazing what this guy can do with a call. He made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! Not an easy thing to do since I don't have any hair.  :chuckle:

Just moved here and looking for areas to hunt... Where is the 6010 road? Is that by humptulips? Do you need a gate key for Raynior or is it open to public?
Title: Re: Re: Copalis time again.
Post by: bearmanric on June 10, 2015, 10:50:17 PM
It is in the unit you need a key. Its open for spring bear till June 15th. Rick
Title: Re: Copalis time again.
Post by: CoastalHunter on June 11, 2015, 02:02:23 AM
So if I buy a key for it that key will get me in there for Elk Season?? What gate number is it from the road that I go to to find that road?

If youve never been out in the Copalis Flat Lands, itll be hard to explain..IMO. That area is flatter than a pancake. Really no landmarks. Miles of cleacuts & 2nd growth. Youll just need to get a Rayonier permit and put your boots on the ground....
Title: Re: Copalis time again.
Post by: WoolyRunner on June 11, 2015, 05:00:20 AM
What is the accepted boundary between Rayonier land & Quinault Reservation? How does one know if hes gone too far north? I think the Quinault boundary is just south of the Moclips Hwy. What about you guys?

Hey Rick! Just curious how the rest of the hunt went for you. See or bag anything?

It was really cool to meet you out there.  We loved hearing your stories and learning about  calling. That desert ironwood (?) call we got is awesome. The deer reactions were priceless! I can't wait to use it this fall for bear.  Thanks again.

Red Toyota Beth :)

Couldn't make it back. Family stuff. Seen the three bears and called the bear and cougar up close made my year. Won a White river bull permit . Will be learning a new area very excited. Glad you got your bear. Next time I call a bear in i'll shoot first then get a picture LOL. Thanks Beth was great meeting you two. Rick
