ATTENTION PEACHES RIDGE VIOLATORS

Great point on the wildfire comment.  That is a true point that is often overlooked.

The USFS has gone from a money making logging agency to a recreation & conservation based agency. This is not just in WA, but the entire country.

as a former Penninsula dweller...I can attest that the logging DID serve much the same purpose RE: food as fires did.  Same with where i live now, less logging, less deer...due to less FOOD for them.

Watched a formerly PRODUCTIVE area slide into oblivion...tho in the last 2-3 years there has been more cutting, so I'm hopefull.  Now to adjust the cougar population...found sign of 3 different cats up there and LOTS of kills that have been gnawed on.

Yeah I pull that one out whenever a tree hugger argues with me about clearcutting. These idiots are letting the beattles eat them all up now.

WOW, this thread has exploded, good stuff to read!!!

I carry a tub of Rapid set JB weld in my pack it sets in just under an hour for the trucks that go through the gate. it takes that sh1t eating grin right off their face when their key won't go in the lock to get back through the gate.

Vandalism, that works 


Some time I can't believe the crap people post on here 

[carpsniperg2]

x2 thats in pretty poor taste. one it is vandalism. you have no idea if the person is supposed to be there or not. and when the people that are supposed to go in there like the loggers or ranchers or gov guys. get there and can't get in because of your actions, you should fill about 1" tall.

Sorry, maybe I should feel ashamed but I don't. I used to work for plum creek timber and it happens all the time. When you are issued a key or you issue a key to any contractor doing work, you have to sign an agreement that you WILL not make copy's or allow anyone else to use your key and in big bold letters you will ONLY use your key for work. and if you or an employee of yours are caught behind a scheduled locked gate with a firearm while working or not your employment or contract will be terminated. For the several years that I worked with them you very rarely had to fix a glued lock because the gate offender has to get the lock off to get out. It pisses off the timber company as much as it does the hunters. Once they are stuck behind a locked gate they will rarely try it again.

The local ATV club as been encouraged by the Ranger district to ride behind the gates to "put tracks up there to show use" so that those roads can be included in the travel management plan.  No matter where you go you'll find people using motorized vehicles on national forest.  It's called 'mulitple use' for a reason.  If you don't like, there's like 2 and half million acres of wilderness for you to hunt in.  You actually have way more land to hunt that is completely off limits to motorized users than there is land to for them, so stop whining and go hunt.  This topic gets beaten to death every season....

i can understand being upset about things that might happen. with people missusing there rights. but you do not know every person that should or should not have a key to go into said area. you are not the law, and are not the one who is supposed to deal with the people who break the law "if they are".  your vandalism is against the law and can hurt hard working people just trying to do there job. when they get to one that you have locked shut. or a disabled hunter coming out from there hunt i was on a disabled hunt when a guy decided he was going to stick a stick in the lock. not very fun! and it hurt. to know someone else would hurt a persons hunt, who is less fortunate.

Well if you going to do stupid *censored* like that and use your justification then I hope you stay on plum creek land because a lot of other gates you can legitimately get keys to. Like Weyerhouser employees can drive behind a lot of their gates to hunt. Plus some other logging companies. Also there is smaller family owned tree farms like my families. Plus dnr.

I had a dick bag put super glue in the lock on me once, it worked fine when I went in and was full of glue when I came out,luckily I had the shop truck and was able to torch the lock off. Being in the industry I have damn near every key that works in this state, myself or my crew has on a number of occasions hauled out deer or elk when we are working behind a gate for guy's that have got something down way behind the gate. Most people don't like it when we go behind the gate but we are just doing our job, I can't stop working just because it's hunting season and I have also seen a fair number of elk taken in the units we are working in and we usally end up helping the guy out with it unless he is a leaflickin lock gluein prick.

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

The issue i see is respect... Always has been always will be. Sure there are good people out there. BUt for the most part people want there nut and will do what they want to get it...

Holy crap, talk about an immature move.

So if some legitmate user of the land gets injured and is driving out of the area to get to a hospital and finds he is locked in, this is OK with you?

Grow up.
