Any of you locals know if they have been amenable to walk in hunters/anglers in this area? Its pretty frustrating to find a good spot, either in their land, or just on the other side of their land that is in public that requires me to cut through their land.
Any input is helpful.

Looking for input from anyone with experience in the upper reaches of the skykomish drainage. I've found several areas that I am really liking for hunting and fishing access. Several of these areas are small checkerboard plots owned by weyerhaeuser. These small plots are truly in the middle of no where, and at the gates there are zero signs. No private land no tresspassing signs, no no hunting signs or anything. I've tried to search for permits in the area on their website but they do not offer any for this area.Go to Hamptons website. If it's not part of their permit area I believe you can walk in.

First step would be to verify who actually owns it... Some of the Weyerhaeuser land that Hampton bought was sold again less than a year later.
The area is not a part of their permit program, but if it is their land they let you walk on. Onx says its weyerhaeuser, but if it sold recently I'll have to do some more looking. Hoping it is owned by hampton

I am from Sky, If you are talking about areas gated like Tonga or Martin creek some of it has been leased to different groups so you might check first. You will probably not have much for hunter competition due to the fact this upper Sky lacks the deer population. Usually there is more people out and about because they didn't tag out on mule deer when that season closed and they want to drive the roads looking for something. Some of the Weyco was bought by Campbell(mostly) and some by the Tulalip Tribe. If you need any specifics feel free to PM me and I can see if I can help
Ok, thank you for the Intel. I appreciate it, may be sending a Pm your way soon

If it's in Snohomish County, SCOPI will have the most accurate info on who owned it. King county probably has something similar.
I'll look into that thank you

I purchased a section from Weyerhaeuser through Scott a couple of years ago. Weyerhaeuser doesn't always have something on the market; it all depends on their current marketing strategy.
These parcels are generally surrounded by US Forest Service land, and are unposted. I would not hesitate hunting these parcels for one minute.
