It would make most sense if it was quilleute/hoh/Quinault since they can hunt that area with indian tags for months at a time. I had heard things from other peninsula and hood canal tribes about getting a block of land from Rayonier because the quilleutes were upset the others were hunting the dickey and sol duc and went to complain to WDFW. Supposedly they can go all the way to the bogachiel on their indian tags, but have to use state tags/seasons when between the bogi and the wishkah(?) rivers. :dunno: So far all I know is a huge part of the unit got leased out while they were trying to make it a permit area.Heard quileyute tribe just leased a lot of rayonier land in the Goodman.

Thanks. Any idea what the 'big change' is that is supposed to have happened in Clearwater?The big change is the Clearwater. used to be the one area the muzzy boys didn't get to destroy during the rut, now they get it along with every thing else on the peninsula. Sucks to be a rifle elk hunter on the peninsula.

Humptulips ins't quite right. A few years ago Rayonier sold a corridor along the Clearwater to TNC. This year they sold the rest of the Clearwater and Kalaloch blocks to FIA, a TIMO from Atlanta. This property is being managed by American Forest Management, along with the South Bend, 'Skidmore Slough' block, the stuff in the North River country, Bear River, and the Pysht. I know FIA has sold permits for the Skidmore block out of South Bend, I have not heard their management plans for hunting access on the other blocks, but historically they have done hunting leases in the SE US.
All over western Washington, timberlands have been changing hands this year.... hundreds of thousands of acres that I can think of. You all should scout your areas well before season to see what access is going to be like.

so they sold the dickey and its available to public? couldn't find anything online about it..No dickey is still Rayonier. They sold the Kalaloch ridge property in the Clearwater, but it is still private.
You can access Dickey but need either a general permit for the outer edges or the premium permit for the area by dickey lake over to the hoko river.
