You need a tree permit, get it from the Heber ranger district. i bought mine for 10 bucks at soldier hollow back on the 3rd of november. not sure where to get it now if they have any left, good news is they bumped the number available this year to 2000 over 1500 last year, they still had passes when we were there left from the day before, usually they sell them first come first serve. we went up to Mill Hollow last sunday (11-18-07) and cut ours there was no snow up there except for a few inches in the trees...i am sure that will change this weekend. i have put in a few pics of our trip. my tree is in the living room with lights on waiting to be decroated the day after turkeys. its her families tradition to do that. i think the wild trees are better looking than any tree i have gotten from a lot EVER.
when you put the tree in the house there is a trick to keep it all fresh, when you put it in the stand add ONE can of sprite and TWO plain white asprin to the bowl, you only need to do this once right after you cut the tree to height for your house. it will keep it fresh and fed all season and that tree will last till march.
I know that up in Manilla you can buy a permit at the general store too and go cut one up around the gorge. not sure how much those are never done that.
when we get our permit it comes with a little pamphlet with a map of the "cut zone" in the unitas, pretty much from strawberry to over above kamas and all in between. this is the 9th year we have done this, if you want next year i will let you know when the tags are going on sale and where to go.
i would start by calling soldier hollow to see if they are still issuing tags, or have them direct you to where you can find out if there are anymore.
