Anyone know what's up? That is a huge chunk of land that has been lost to hunting by the public.

I am going to have to go and check those gates for the signs latter today, because I was planing on hunting there in the AM. Hmmm I wonder if we talked, I talked to several hunters in there over the weekend. Small world. And please let me know if you find anything out, I grew up playing in this area, know it well, and go there all the time. Sad news.

Well that's a sad end to a good hunting spot.
Yes it is. :bash:

So on that note, a little idea.... has anyone thought about a initiative to take away the timber land exemption if recreation leases are being sold off it. Because once they start selling off the right to use it for other things (than timber) they are making it a commercial use. They shouldn't get the tax break. Go after what matters, the money. It would cost far more to fight the initiative than they are making on the leases. I just see this is the end of hunting on timber land in WA there isn't some kind of change. And I think a ton of people other than just hunters would get behind this. A lot of people like to ride horses and hike and bike..... and commune with nature. Just a idea..... Oh and yes, there are still public areas, but think of the animals......., they are going to just get wiped out on the small amount of public land that is still open.

It is only open for squaxin tribal hunting. Talked to a tribal officer yesterday about it.
Cheer up, they can only hunt with canoe paddles :chuckle:

There is a pdf map under hunters I would guess it's a lease agreement like many other timber companies are offering that provides exclusive access.

He probably gets to hunt it, so it was his duty to let everyone know it's off limits. :chuckle:
