In September, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Forest Service’s regulations required that it consider banning hunting with guns on lands designated as “semi-primitive.” The Court found that the noise associated with gun hunting could harm the quality of the recreational experience of hikers, backpackers, and cross county skiers.

Now imagine if they could sue to keep us out...I guess I'll turn into a real rebel then... I can't read my signature.

We need to slam them with comments opposing the changes. I can't read my signature.

This is the stepping stones for checking us out to just see what they can get away with.................most of us will just go along with it. Now me on the other hand I see this as a great trapping opportunity. In my area they have closed down roads but I just go in the back way on my quad and now have trapping areas that no one uses anymore....................As state after state gets themselves so far in Debt that they cannot afford to hire or keep Forest Ranges or Game Wardens on the payroll we will have all those areas all to ourselves AGAIN.

You are not alone in having skinney skiers, snowshoers and plain ole hikers thinking the woods belong to them , but add in Fat bikers, Mountain bikers and now even E bikers to the mess The job of a Patriot is not to protect his country but to protect the people from the tryannical government
