Once the train started rolling it just kept going .
I am working on another thing that needs to be changed a little bit but getting some resistance from the "Ask the D.N.R. " website .
The "Yellow Gates" are popping up just about everywhere limiting traffic onto statelands , some are needed , some are not .
Either case , placement of the gates are not up to local government nor do the public have a say so in gate placement .
Who decides ?
The local D.N.R. supervisor .
All gates I feel should be left up to the people of the county to decide if they stay or go unless a endangered species resides in that geographical area .
Gates that should be placed because of extreme misuse (illeagle dumping ) should be reopened during the fall hunting seasons .
Why ?
We have the handicaped hunters and the ever increasing numbers of older hunters that can not make the long trecks into the woods like they were once able to . I just can't see a sixtey or seventy year old hunter surviving a two mile long trip back to his vehical draging in his buck or a guy in a wheelchair making his way into and out of the woods .
These guys can purchase hunting licenses , but for what ? Sit in the parking lot and wait for a deer to show up ? It's just not right .
Here is what I sent on the "Ask the D.N.R."
