people at closed gates
« on: October 13, 2012, 03:20:21 PM »
 people hunting in areas that are closed to fire danger really piss me off. it sucks that the law obeying people cant get in there and hunt but the idiots that dont know any better or dont care just go right in.  :bash: sorry i just needed to vent a little.

There's a number to call at every single one of those gates. Well most of those gates anyway.

For what it's worth, I drove around my house (matlock area) this afternoon on my way home from capital forest and didn't see a single vehicle parked at any of the gates. I was pretty surprised to not see anyone.

Not only was there one guy parked at the Weyco gate  by my house but I heard the first shot of the day coming from the same area at 6:00 am.  A full hour before daylight.  I later heard 4 more shots around 8:30.  Keep in mind that at this gate there is more than a half dozen bran new do not enter due to extreme fire danger signs.  While I am typing this, I just heard 3 more shots in a closed area.   :bash:

I saw two vehicles parked at a Port Blakely gate near my house yesterday afternoon. Assuming they were muzzleloader elk hunting, just where I've been wanting to hunt, but couldn't because it's closed.    :bash:

Bunch of rigs parked around mineral gates today too.  All had signs yesterday. Well except one that I am pretty sure I know who took it down.  Buddy had two rigs parked on his property down in pleasant valley. Older style white dodge and a newer black quad cab. He got their plates.  Waited for them, but I think they knew he was there. Every year its the same song and dance.  Heard 30+ shots from down the road when my son and I got home around 1:30.  Freaking city puke  drive me nuts.  What is wrong with these people??? I know all city slickers aren't trash, but there are enough of them that I have a bad taste in my mouth.

i haven't called the hotline, but maybe they opened it because of the rain, but haven't removed the signs.   :dunno:

I've been calling the Simpson/green diamond hotline all day. Monday they will evaluate the rainfall and decide.

The Hancock website says that all their tree farms are open. I don't know about anybody else though.

I drove by a few weyco gates with big orange signs that says closed to public access with trucks parked next to them and i passed a warden not 2 min before this...figured he would sit and wait to write a big fat ticket or go in after them but nope...when i drove back by a half hour later they moved to another gate

Seen a few trucks off Johnson Creek Rd in Rainier parked and hunting with big bright orange signs that say CLOSED!! I don't know why people can't read? It's those people that are going to make weyco not open the gates for next weekend. But I did hear from a warden the gate will be open next weekend for sure... They were going to open it today but at the last minute had a coin flip not to is what the warden said... So I don't know! I guess we will wait and see what happens next weekend.
