Spent the long weekend on one of the more popular elk units in the state and couldn't believe what the Forest Service has been up to. Every single two track on the mountain now has a numbered trail marker sign. Now I'm all for having numbers on roads, my concern lies in that they have posted these signs even on trails that are grown in or where some irressponsible rider went off roading once.
Are we now promoting people to drive their ATV's where ever? It seems like we are getting lazier and lazier! On this particular mountain there are roads on the top, bottom, and middle of every single ridge and canyon. There are roads on the sides and middle of every meadow and multiple in between connecting the two. How is this preserving our resources? It's no wonder that there aren't any big deer on this mountain any more. When there are roads every 500 yards how do we expect deer to survive the rifle hunt more than maybe two years?
I've grown up hunting this mountain and it makes me sick as to what is happening to it. It has become an off-roading mecca, and many of which have abused it. If any one has any input on who to contact with the foresty division please let me know.
It would be nice if they had a so called RAC meeting to allow public input on such matters.
