Title: Weyehauser Pe Ell south (walk-in)
Post by: RustyNail on May 27, 2020, 11:37:03 PM: Just got the permit for Weyehauser. Sadly had to settle for a non-motorized permit. The 350 Motorized permits that were left sold out in 3 seconds. What's the best road to walk in off of to go elk hunting? First time getting a Weyehauser permit. Thanks for the help!

The permit I normally get also sold out in minutes and I missed out. It has always been available in the past for a few days after it first goes on sale. I'm still bummed I didn't get it. I've gotten to know the area so well and I have a real good idea where the elk hang out.

I was lucky and got a Pe Ell South vehicle permit. I'll be mostly starting from scratch in there so I couldn't tell you if there is good walk-in hunting near the gate. If it's like other nearby Weyerhaesuer properties it may be tough to find elk near gates. If I were you I'd get a mountain bike (if those are allowed with a non-motorized permit) and get back in further.

Best of luck. I'd be happy to exchange phone numbers and we could help each other pack if either gets an animal.
