So just found out Weyerhaeuser is going to allow youth hunters and a parent access onto Vail Tree Farm for the youth any buck hunt on Oct 8th & 9th even if we don't have a permit. After that youth opening weekend, only permit holders can access Vail Tree Farm for the remainder of the youth hunt. So we've only got 2 days to get in there and hunt.
That's pretty coo though! I haven't been in there for over 10 years and look forward to being in there again. Anyone have any idea on where they've been harvesting trees the past year or so and where some of the newer clear cuts are located? Unfortunately they aren't allowing us any earlier access to scout the area, so going into it opening morning in the dark and blind! Also curious to those of you who have permits, what time in the AM do they generally open the 1000 mainline road? Any info is greatly appreciated!
