Helicopter access to backcountry - Illegal?

[Redthies]

I just read the unlawful section and it looks like they took the " gear " part out? Just says hunters and wildlife now.

You are correct. It seems they did take the “gear or equipment” related phrasing out. I don’t think I kept a copy of the last regs to compare to the current ones, but I recall it included gear in the helicopter restriction.
