Locked Forest Service Gates
LAST EDITED ON May-27-08 AT 04:29PM (MST) by nochawk (moderator)[p]Im starting this thread in regards to a thread i read about the guy on the fourwheeler getting in trouble for being behind the locked gate.. The Thing that realy chaps my *** is the fact that they can put these gates on public roads and lock them for several months.. I live down here on the San Juan.. Last year the forest service put up some locked gates restricting access to the blue mountains.. they lock these gates on May 1st.. There reasoning is for safty and so people dont tear up the road.. Seems like ******** to me because the whole road is nothing but shell rock.. There are also two hunting seasons going on.. The Bear hunt and the turkey hunt.. I am a bear hunter and have helped several people with bear tags.. It is frusturating to not have access to were the good hunting is.. I have started bear down low and they have gone up over the top and have had no way of getting to the bear tree or gathering up dogs.. We have had to wait 3 or 4 days for dogs to make there way back out.. Its dang frusturating.. Not only is it not a forest service road it is a county owned and maintained raod.. Sorry guys im just venting a bit.. What are all your thoughts on these gates..
