rayonier has almost all the gates shut in this area right now. the one that bugs me is that they've got the gates closed on the huge chunk of land that's encircled by youmans road and between the EF and WF hoquiam rivers. there's good hunting areas in there but you'd have to walk in several miles. they were open(green dot) all winter but they shut the gates and put up red dots around july or so. i wouldn't mind walking in and bushwhacking but knowing my luck i'll get somewhere close scouted out, then they'll open it all up on the 16th.

what makes me scratch my head is that most of the rayonier gates on the east side of 101(wynoochee unit) are red dotted, but the ones on the west side(copalis) are all "striped"(no public access period). leased out? in fact, i'd say 90% of them in the whole copalis unit are closed off to all access(walk in or drive in).
