BuzzH: How about countless roads closed in Washington and Oregon along with all manner of commerce (like logging for instance) also being shut down - due to the greens and their inane lawsuits allegedly aimed at protecting the "endangered" Spotted Owl!
And how about this! Not 20 miles from my present home (for the last 11 years I have lived here in SW Montana - prior to that I lived IN Washington state for 48 years) a huge area had roads closed due to Lynx being in the area!
The rationalization for this was "the compressed snow (wheel ruts) caused by fall/winter use (by Hunters in vehicles mainly) allowed the common Coyote access (they travel in the wheel ruts!?!?) to areas where the winter food of the Lynx is then eaten by said Coyotes!
I know this is a little difficult for "common sense types to follow - but no one ever said the greens were common sense types!
So we have gates on many (all?) sideroads in this area now thanks to the Lynx "protectors"!
And believe it or NOT!

These same Lynx protectors spent over $200,000.00 in a little over one year (2 winters) studying this lone aspect of Lynx life!
The study was exclusively made to determine IF wild Lynx would cross a remote road that was paved!
This road (80% paved) runs about 40 miles from Polaris, Montana to Wise River, Montana - EXACTLY!

Actually, roads and Lynx seem to have an uneasy relationship....ask Maine.




And this Buzz H, you are not stupid enough are you, to be implying that the greens are NOT using court actions (ad naseum) and road closures and attempts at changing the staus of public lands from useable lands to "wilderness land status" in order to ENHANCE use by Hunters, ARE YOU?

Please answer both those simple questions EXACTLY - are you that stupid, and, are you saying the greens do not want sport Hunting interfered with?

Everyone on this forum deserves to know where you are coming from and your inteligence level, or lack there of!
The greens are right now in the process of changing hundreds of thousands (YES I said hundreds of thousands of acres!) here in SW Montana alone from (where I have Hunted for many decades!) accessable Huntable public lands to virtually inaccessable wilderness lands!
Hundreds of thousands of acres Buzz!

No matter how you say it--you're still obviously a lazy road hunter.

This lawsuit infested takeover of public lands is being driven by a host of Berkeley, San Francisco and Manhattan based green organizations right now!
Don't believe me - call the United States Government, Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Beaverhead National Forest, Dillon, Montana at 1-406-683-3913 - or for the Supervisors Office dial 1-406-683-3900 - just ask them how many hundreds of thousands of acres are being assaulted in the manner and by the people I describe.
EAgain everyone on this forum deserves to know where you are coming from and your inteligence level, or lack there of!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for nothing rmWf!

It doesn't take very many to throw a law suit at every thing and disrupt hunting. They also have a lot of do gooders who don't have a clue. Casey I hope your saying the same thing in 10 years as more of us are setting on the side lines because we can't hunt. I agree this country has become a socialistic society a few rule for all of us. Part of the problem is we hunters don't stand together and we don't have the resources at this point to counter sue them every time they throw a stupid law suit up. Hunters are own worst enemy we stand by and watch and throw our hands in the air and walk away while they just keep on smiling.
