time to vent.............well me and my huntin partner decided to walk in a gated off area...we got in back about a mile and what do we hear...a damn truck coming in from the other direction...the idiot just drives by real slow with a smile on his face...i felt like puttin a arrow in his tire...i put in the time and effort to try and find an elk and this happens...why do some *censored* people have to ruin it by going around the gates :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
I have been there it is frustrating... Public land or Private?

your profile says aberdeen
there is some weyerhauser ground over there where there is a locked gate on one end and on the other end there is no gate...I made that mistake as well thought I found a good walk in then had trucks go by so grabbed the map and explored all the other points of entry and discovered why people were just driving in. And on some green diamond land there were people with keys who could drive in on the few gates that didnt get thrown open during deer.
perhaps it was a disable hunter? which could recieve a key from the state to be in there.this is another option

I think it was state land...there wasnt any weyhauser signs
You might as well find out who's land you were hunting on so you know whether to be upset or not.

get over it
Its part of hunting here, been there, screwed by it many times over the years.
Want no vehicles around, get horses.

Does not even have to be a gate that I am behind and it is disappointing when a truck comes up a road I have spent good time on. I hear your rant...

This Friday at the same gate, a truck and refuel vehicle (larger truck) going in a few miles to meet a helicopter, and fill/fuel/pick up pilot.
reason the few clear cuts in area have no food in them, Hancock spraying defoliant all over the place :bash:
Still found Elk every day, but left them there for next year :'(

Opening day, 2 and 1/2 miles behind a gate, truckload of (Spanish speakers) with spray-packs on their backs.

Is this surprising to anyone... it's private timber company land. Opening day or not, they have land and road maintenance to do. They're running a business, and hopefully a for profit business. Consider it a privilege that they even let you walk on the land in the first place. Have you ever looked into public access in say a state like Texas?

The area I hunt has 3 main access points, one of which has a gate that is often closed. Maybe this is the same case? Instead of being mad at the other person, I would be mad at myself that I don't know the area well enough to do the same.
:yeah:

I had no problem with the workers, and enjoy the fact that the whole unit is walk in hunting only.Opening day, 2 and 1/2 miles behind a gate, truckload of (Spanish speakers) with spray-packs on their backs.

I just wish that there was browse growing in the few clearings, but they spray with defoliant.
and have not even seen any new planting to be re-prod. :dunno:

Generally, newly logged areas are sprayed before planting in order to control vegetation that would compete with the seedlings that will be planted on the site, commonly called a site preparation treatment. Seedlings will then be planted in those areas the next spring. Sometimes I have seen a follow up herbicide treatment a year or two after planting but by year 3 or so the seedlings can generally out compete the grasses and forbs that reestablish. There occasionally is the rare exception when a later follow up treatment may be needed if there is a problem with the seedlings i.e. they get heavily browsed. Beyond that most companies are finished with the broadcast herbicide treatments.
I apologize for changing the subject from the original post on gates.

Thanks Basket Rack
Thanks for the information.
I wish I knew more about forest management and your information on what the timber companies do is always welcome in my camp.

I hear ya. It has happened to most of us.
I drug a game cart/solo camp into the Marble one year for elk. Straight up hill the entire way and I am no athlete... Kicked my azz. About five hundred yards from the spur I was going to camp on....a truck came up from behind me. Land management guys checking that no trucks were in behind gates before the opener.... They gave me a 500 yard lift :bash: to my road. Guess I should have waited to hike in a few hours cause they would have given me a ride up the entire way... :chuckle:
