Re: 5-12B shut down for motor vehicles
In light of statements made by the local indians, concerning closing down the hunt, and enforcing it themselves, and the road closures, we've decided not to utilize our draw.
We're going way further north instead, for an open season.
If it was just me and a buddy, we would be heading up to anahim lake tomorrow after work, but, one member of our hunting party deserves, but refuses, a handicap placard. Bad knees, bad back, and asbestosis taking almost half his lung capacity, he needs road access. A km walk takes it out of him. It sucks. I don't want to bow to the intimidation tactics being employed, but between dad's lack of mobility, and the risk of conflict with self appointed enforcement, we don't feel it's worth the risk. If we were locals, and knew the land and the people, it would be different, but the last thing I want is to have trouble, and bring it to someone else's doorstep, or find myself with a court date that far from home.
It sucks. There are a couple people who have offered help and advice, and I owe both of you a beverage or help on a hunt down here if you ever happen to draw an island elk!

The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
