I’m not an expert, but I thought the idea of cross ditching or deactivating a road was to let the water run off so the culverts don’t get plugged up and cause a slide.
About 20 years ago I worked with some contractors to forest renewal bc to put some sections of road back to its natural state. Tore everything up and put it back to grade. I bet that cost more money than the original road.
Im in favour of more motorized vehicle hunting bans. Either no vehicles in certain areas, or you have to be away from your vehicle a certain distance or time.
If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.
No kidding! Jesus ****!!
haha, Just so you LML guys know, wolves travelled for thousands of years before roads. They use them now, as the path of least resistance, but putting up a sign, or a gate, or a ditch, or digging up the road isn't stopping a wolf from travelling and hunting.
Some/many LML guys either don't know any better, of don't give a **** about local people in the areas that they make their one trip a year.
Look at reg 5, west of the Fraser for example. Lots of bug kill, lots of roads, many dug up at the start. Lots of burn now too.
Moose is already LEH
ATV's are already banned.
If moose numbers are that bad (which they absolutely are), shut down moose hunting in that region until the numbers come back. Simple.
Digging up roads isn't helping the moose, it's doing the opposite. It's making it hard for local guys that don't get the GoldenLEH Ticket and like to hunt, so they predator hunt those areas.
Keep in mind almost all LEH hunters in these areas are from the LML and don't predator hunt there, but expect to get a moose there on their yearly hunting trip with their buddies.
What would be the reason to not de-activate roads after siviculture work is done??
Can we refrain from the LML bashing on this site. It's not getting us anywhere and frankly I'm tired of it. There are bad apples in every bunch. Lots of us live down here because this is where our families and jobs are. I for one get out as often as I can hunting regions 2, 3, 5, 7 and 8. I respect locals and do my best to make friends with the people I meet while I'm out there.
This thread is discussing deactivated roads and it lead into wolves. No one mentioned LMLs but you..
