LAST EDITED ON Aug-08-07 AT 07:58AM (MST)[p]I know, it probably is time. People are STILL doing some incredibly stupid things, cigs thrown out, campfires, etc. I was just up checking some trail cams the other day and could hear some dope on his motorcycle off in the trees. The FS is pretty gunshy about everything, they took such a political lashing in '03 when they closed up the woods, they really don't want to do it. And I am as hard on the FS as anyone, but with people being as dumb as they are, I don't see how they have any other choice.
Watch those Chippy creek and Brush Creek fires too. Nothing but a carpet of unlogged, thick timber between Chippy creek fire and Flathead Lake.
Right now, I would be shocked if we get to bowhunt on Sept 1. I can still hunt 30 acres of private land for a whitey around my house.
