Yah there are a lot of access areas which way u coming from :dunno:
-
You can go in at Doty on Elk Creek Rd. It's mostly Weyerhaeuser and most of the roads are open.
-
thats where i go in at there are also many other ways to get in there in lebam and out of raymond,frances right off of Hwy 6

i was thinking i would come up from cathlamet and turnoff 101 and head toward raymond i use to pick up wood chips at the weyerhauser mill in raymond. do you guys think this unit is any good for deer. i have a bear tag also. this is my sons first deer tag just want to get him on a buck. a forkie or something. i have seen deer and elk. but they were all does. just want to try something different. thanks

It's not any better or any worse than any of the surrounding units. But it's worth a try. Being there is fairly good road access into the unit I believe poaching is common. Deer won't be easy to come by, you'll have to work for them. I hunted the unit last Saturday with my uncle and saw two does.

Lots of deer I actually got a pic of a nice buck taken out of there. 4x5 nice. There are also some nice beer but good luck seeiing them unless you got a treestand ... :chuckle:

This. I was in there overnight for archery elk this year. I heard a noise in the clear cut behind me about 9:30pm. I go over and look and see 4 guys with spotlight and rifles. I got the hell out of there and called WSP and reported it. They took my info but I've never heard back from them.

yes i think there is poaching in some of the units over here to. as some of the areas dont have gates on them. its a shame that is why i carry mr 40 sw with me as well when im deer or bear hunting with my rifle.

I have hunted in it alot and really it has to much access all year round and like any place where the gates are not locked the animals are skiddish. maybe find a high point viewing somewhat thick jackfirs and be real patient.
