From Mount St. Helens National Monument:
Forest Road 81-830 to Climber’s Bivouac has reopened for
the season. Visitors are cautioned to slow down and watch for narrow
spots and/or debris on the roadway. Extra caution is advised because
annual road maintenance has not been completed and there are narrow
spots due to snow along the roadway.Climbers should be aware that there is still patchy snow at Climber’s
Bivouac. “It’s a great season to climb but climbers need to come
prepared for climbing and descending safely on snow,” said Tom Mulder,
Monument Manager. “Probably our greatest safety concern is the
stability of the overhanging snow cornices that form much of the crater
rim at this time of year. Climbers need to stay a safe distance back
from the rim because the cornices are unstable and are actively
collapsing into the crater,” Mulder added.
The state issued this release late on Friday.
Hunters who submitted applications for 2009 special-hunt permits can check the results of this year’s drawing on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Web site.
Click here for the results of the random, computerized drawing.
The results were verified Tuesday and were posted Friday.
At hunters’ request, this year’s drawing was conducted nearly a month earlier than in past years, said Dave Ware, state game manager."Hunters told us they wanted us to conduct the drawing earlier so they would have more time to make their hunting plans," Ware said. "That made sense, and we’ve done everything we could to expedite the process."
More than 61,500 hunters submitted 138,900 applications for this year's special hunts for deer, elk, mountain goat, moose, bighorn sheep and turkey. The number of applications was up by about 4,000 from last year, Ware said.Holders of the special permits can hunt at times and locations beyond those authorized by a general hunting license.
WDFW will notify applicants about the results of the drawing by email and postal mail in addition to posting the results on its website. Successful applicants will receive their special hunt permits via postal mail.
