Bad meeting with USFS officer

[rtspring]

I'd like ot add a little more here.

The USFS goes around after each hunting season and picks up all the cut wood from camps!! i have seen it many times over the years!! What do they do with it? i bet it goes straight to some lazy guys house!!!

I burn every stick of wood I cut for this exact reason, But we the commom folk cant hault it out, but they can???   see the light people, we are being screwed!!!

Jess already stated that he was in the wrong and he has no problem paying the fine.  I don't see any reason to chastise him. 

The USFS officer was a jerk for calling Jess and the rest of the people from Republic inbreds.

Well, could there be any bit of truth to the statement? 


      JUST KIDDING GUYS!!!! DONT KILL ME!!!!!


I like bobcat's reply too. Sometimes there are reasons for a closure to wood cutting, and it does appear that this was the main reason for the citation.

Also, a big portion of firewood gathering is from old logging piles, pushed up to the side and left to rot.  People will go in behind the loggers and clean up burnable materials, is that theft too?  Is that akin to poaching a monster bull elk?  Should we execute them?

But that isn't the case in this scenario. He said he was cutting down snags. If it was a recently logged area that needed cleaning up, I bet it would have been open for firewood cutting. This area was closed. So the USFS obviously did not want firewood cutting to occur in this area, for whatever reason. That's up to them to decide. And I think a $400 fine is fair. A poached elk would cost a lot more than that.

That is a lot of assumptions - and I don't give the FS that much credit either.  Like the other poster said they are full of anti's.

How many of you people said you'd never buy a discover pass? 



You people are thieves too you know, you are stealing a resource.  That resource is money directly out of the coffers of WA state general fund.  Don't make me go back to all the discovery pass threads and quote you to this thread

RT, purchase a firewood permit and you can take it home....in my area they are $20.00 bucks for up to 4 cords...even for common folk.
This thread is all about Ethics....on both sides...

I have permits! But wood cuttting is closed!  You have to leave it in camp.

[Woodchuck]

open til the end of the month in some places

[rtspring]

Blair! Heck he would take my other rifle! No no no  I burn the wood.  Ha ha

[Boss .300 winmag]

Take it home. The chances of you being caught by Blair and Steve this late in the season are very minimal.
Also to your previous post. They leave it there for others to use.

Steve (Roberson out of Cle Elum) retired early this summer

Cuz it was closed for so long through the summer.

Wonder if it came down to martial law, how many of the "letter of the law" people would do as told, and stay in their houses and to surrender all arms. After all, it would be the law right?

Why would it come down to martial law?
