    Im well aware of where the fires are, as I've been paying close attention and monitoring the website daily, but fortunately my hunting area has so far been unaffected.

    So almost 9:00 and no public info out. All media outlets still reporting the ORV ban update this morning. If this was decided upon yesterday and finalized it's quite dissapointing that it didn't get out to media as there will be a ton of people out of cell range set up for a week or two of hunting in this area.
    Yup, that coiler is a personal best...

    Just got off of the phone with Cranbrook Forestry and ANY road with woody debris, sawdust, or anything (grass, alder, etc.) growing on it is off limits to on-highway vehicles. In other words, any road with any sort of fuel on it is off limits. I had to turn back this morning for my opening day

    Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark."

    Every road, even highways, have dry grass on the shoulders so I'm assuming this means the traveled portion of the road. I turned back myself and found a spot on a well travelled fsr to park on after my first road got grassy between the wheelpaths.

    Looks to be true, just saw the notice myself.

    I'm not on a computer where I can upload it, but I can email it if someone wants it. Its on FB now as well.

    Big difference between a back country closure and an ORV ban.

    Just received my hunt buddy notification on this backcountry closure! Moosin

    It's actually called the 375 "ouch and ouch"!!
