Court reinstates road ban in national forests

I use to hunt a lot of national forest but with the lack of new clear cuts it has hurt the game populations. Not much grows under standing dead old growth that deer and elk like to eat.

The FS has no clue how bad things are out in the woods for the wildlife, due to the logging bans...
Deer populations are falling like a rock, and elk will follow soon enough.
The only place I see deer and elk flourishing is where private timber companies own their own land, log it like it needs to be done, and replant. But then, you have to many roads there. Somewhere, there has to be a happy medium. :dunno: :dunno:

I think that since they don't log anymore they have taken on alota crap to justify their exsitence.Most roads nowdays built for logging are reclaimed afterwords anyway except on most private ground where they realize the road cost themselves.

:yeah:
They invent jobs for themselves, the inventer gets an award, and the process starts allover agin. The USFS has less work to do and more people. Its more of a welfare system now. The USFS and environmantalists are as one. They both have the same agenda. Shut Down the Woods.

I'm not sure about the impact on this rule for maintaining roads, but Forest Road 54 back into the Siouxon area is/was scheduled for repair late summer of 2009 (I'm not sure when that is). Anyway, if you hit the Gifford Pinchot forest page and look for a roads link, it will show you there's a lot of them that are closed or buried.

I just went 3 rounds with the forest service this week over a road they are charging me to use to get to a state piece. We are getting charged up the ass for the privelage to use their road, but won't grade it or even let me grade it unless I buy another permit and then to top it all off i would have to put up a bond in case I don't know how to grade a road. I have seen some of their handy work and I think that on payday for some of their operators we as tax payers should have some change coming.
