I grew up logging and my dad still has a logging business - and times are really tough for them right now - that being said this ruling (and I think this thread) has to do with designated roadless wilderness land which we as sportsmen can't afford to lose any more of. So yes it does matter if there are roads. There are many other ways to imrpove wildlife habitat like controlled burns. I am not sure if you have ever hunted any of these large roadless areas but the experience is second to none and cannot be experienced anywhere that access is as easy as turning in your hubs to drive up and down old logging roads. But I am also all for selective logging in these areas for habitat improvement when the roads are going to be re-claimed.

Whats its about is bypassing Congress.  If these areas should be Wilderness areas then let congress vote on them and let it be so.  This is about bypassing congress by way of Executive Order and now Court order.
