So was out looking around a few clear cuts and seen signs almost every cut I went too.
And no animals.
So if they don't want people in there ,how can it be good for animals.
-
The thistles, mullion, hounds tongue, knapweeds, and many other aggressive noxious weeds aren't good for the animals either. Hopefully the benefits outweigh the cons. :dunno: Regulations require the posting. A lot of the contact risk is reduced once the spray has set for 12 - 24 hours.

Being that the animals have such a good sense of smell, ive often wondered if they naturally will stay out of these areas because they can smell the chemicals.
-
I've been burned by walking long distances into cuts only arrive and find those signs, and the cuts void of life. I do think the animals sense that stuff is bad news and stay away for a while.

Yup and then the hoof rot sets in.
