I wish they would lock up every gate and make people hike & really hunt.  Get them out of their truck!!

i am the last guy you would find road hunting. i would like to be able to look around the unit so i can decide where i am going to hunt, i put on almost 250 miles on my truck & a few on my boots yesterday. 1 cow 100 gates. i guess coming in from the south side is out of the question. but i did find a 62 jeepster, could be a good trip after all, :o never know. did a bit better from the north. next week we will go further up.

I agree.  I love it when they lock the gates in an area.  When they do, it eliminates 50% of the hunters.  Half of those leave the GMU entirely and the other half either find roads without gates in the GMU really rough it and walk in a mile and are back to camp by 9AM complaining about how the elk herd has gone to crap.   :chuckle:

Love closed gates.

I just called Britta, she told me the same thing. Sad that the actions of a few jerkwads ruins everything for so many hunters that may not be young or fit enough to hike up the road 15 miles to where they've been hunting for 20 years. 

IMO any loss of access is a blow to hunters. Today they shut it down for vehicles, tomorrow it will be closed to all access.

If the vehicle road closures stick you will see a DRAMATIC INCREASE in the amount of legal animals and in your quality of hunting. Due to the DRAMATIC DECREASE in the amount of poaching. You will also only have to share the mountain with half the people.  The is a VERY good thing for you all.
