    35 years ago when took forestry in school we had 2 semesters of "roads"...mostly about using aerial photos to locate/lay them out find potential gravel deposits, fabricating dirt roads (layering gravel), as well as doing curve layout etc....our final project involved calculating how much timber had to be harvested along the way to help finance the road building...if I recall correctly it was something like a million bucks a mile to build forestry roads back then

    Keep in mind you most likely would not have access to said areas without these roads.

    Deactivation removes liability from the mill. West Fraser is deactivating like crazy.
    But it wasn't done well near me. Dodge 4X4 towing a trailer can still go down the road, road hunting. Shooting and towing a moose out.
    The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
    The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Some have temporary barriers like ditches that can be re-established as needed for silvaculture etc
    Others are completely obliterated, they look like the surrounding landscape, usually the smaller cut block accesses are 'removed', while larger main haul roads remain usable

    One solution for the wolves using these roads as was previously mentioned is quite simple.
    A culling of wolves when needed.
    Consistent Culling to help keep things balanced.
    Ripping up roads is more to lower the impacts of the 2 legged variety for all sorts of reasons.
