I tend to agree with LittleZoZo.

LittleZoZo, I don't know for sure about the "sign game" thing yet. I will know more after I get the material that I have requested from WDFW. I wouldn't put anything pass Weyerhaeuser when it comes to controlling public access.

It's really hard for me to see how any private enterprise can legally prevent the public from accessing state owned property. But like so often, we fishermen always allow the big corporate boys to overrun our fishing access rights. I hope that this thread will start the wheels a turning that will turn around this trend. Ignorance has been, and still is our worse enemy. I known if it was me that got a ticket for going to the Green River Hatchery, all hell would brake loose, and I would have my day in court one way or another!

It's also a shame that our local game wardens are now cow telling to people like Weyerhaeuser when it comes to ticketing people for trespass under the "fire danger" scam. wouldn't their time be much better spent writing tickets for poching or snaging? And they (the game wardens) wonder why no one likes them or wants to raise their pay. The last major forest fire in this area was caused by no one else other then Weyerhaeuser themselves! It was one of their own famous slash burns that got away from their own burners!

So now, we fishermen are being blamed for their stupidity. We must make sure that we keep our fishing and hunting access open. We must not sit ideally by and take the big corporations word that we don't have the right to use or enter the land that we have paid for.
