To top it off, I notified the DOW and BLM LEO of where this guy was camped, when he would be back (opening day of elk season), what laws he violated, and what he looked like with 4 days notice. I sent emails and left voice messages with both agencies. No one showed up or responded for three weeks. I followed it up with this email...
"Gentlemen, The person I referenced below was again in the non-motorized area hunting with his OHV at the place I stated below. He destroyed two more BLM signs in the process? intentionally? by cutting them down. Not sure how much more of your job I could do besides pointing out who, what, when, and where, but I'm incredibly disappointed in the response I received."
Then when the BLM did respond here is what they said...
"Thank You for the information and photos we appreciate your concerns and are currently looking into them. The area in question is located in an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). However a travel management plan for the area was not completed upon designation which has led to some confusion for the public about which areas are open to motorized travel. Staff is aware of the problem and has begun taking steps to determine the suitability of motorized travel in that area and which, if any, routes should remain open. Again thank you for taking the time to bring this issue to our attention."
Are you kidding me?! He was confused if the road was open or not?!!
Does this look confusing to ANYONE?!?
All I did was provide these agency jag-offs with ammunition to close more roads and exclude more public access.
My wife says I should have burned his camp to the ground and just let them respond to the fire...
