506 Willapa Hills Late Season Antlerless Tag
« on: June 21, 2025, 12:30:38 PM »
Hey crew,

I drew a late season antlerless tag in 506. My wife and I have 2 young kids so my time will be limited on this hunt (maybe just an overnighter or 2 if I’m lucky). I’m wondering if anyone has any insight as to what I can expect regarding elk numbers and hunting pressure? Tips on getting into elk? Purchasing a Weyerhaeuser permit is not in the cards for me this year. If anyone has any tips or areas to focus on I would greatly appreciate it - I’ll be hunting solo.

The Weyerhaeuser permit sold out over a month ago anyway. I can tell you without the Weyerhaeuser access, you'll want to focus on the south end of the unit off Highway 4 from Skamokawa, and to the west near Deep River. There are a couple chunks of state land, and possibly a couple of smaller timberland owners that might be open to hunting.

Didn't the state recently purchase a large chunk of land in that area?
