[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1422977, member: 99519"] Afp1...before I moved from the coast there were lots of public lands locked behind timber company gates... A friend from high school just retired from a big company..he started as a peon in the mill turning sheets..finished his years as the dryside manager...we got tired of him laughing at us lowlife..he had the keys to every company gate that he could hunt behind..along with the public lands...they(the company) and government reached an agreement for road maintenance by the company..and no access for public use....that same company put in gates and watchmen to keep bowhunters out of several places because the companies headhonchoes wanted those bulls....I had many years of hiking cross country to play their games..great elk reserve.....and that particular area was gated from two mountains by two different companies...eventually the main gate was moved to within 100 feet of the main highway...and several more gates up the mountain from there... now all the area has been purchased by another company..they sell permits at $500 per person to hunt on any piece of their property and if you think you can drive thru their gate to hunt on government ..without their permit..I hope you have deep pockets..that is considered criminal trespass..and it can also include charges such as unlawful entry with a weapon......they aren't playing anymore....but..hunters that had the permit could be there before lite and off after lite(big vast area)...until pressure was applied to them last year..now they are forced to close their lands at a Level 2...no hunting...but they keep logging.... Public lands arent disappearing...we just don't get access to them any longer... What started the logging issues in Oregon was the spotted owl controversy...or the lack of spotted owls...the last report I saw was that spotted owls were a dying species..they were being eaten by the grey owl...which were very populous in the FS and BLM forest...
