The wheels of justice do turn, it's just sometimes hard to see them move when they go this slow. Now if the court could go back and sue the landowners for all the wasted tax dollars spent on this it would go along ways in making people think before trying to steal from the public.

Good stuff.

Another check mark in the W column.

Thanks again to all the access advocates in MT (and elsewhere) for protecting access to our public lands.

There are some amazing folks from the Ravalli County Fish & Wildlife Association here on Hunt Talk. They deserve a ton of recognition for their fortitude and determination. Thanks to all of you.

I just hope it's the end of it. Went to school with one of the landowners. We'll see. mtmuley

Great job . Congrats to those involved.

Kudos to Ravalli County Fish & Wildlife Association. They have been diligent and persistent for a long time in protecting this public access. They continually earn the support of Montana sportsmen and women.

Also Montana's Public Land Water Access Association (PLWA) continues to be an integral part of these efforts. If you recreate on public lands and waters in Montana, please support and contribute to these organizations. They are hard at work on your behalf, with obvious successes such as this one.

Gate back up on Hughes Creek, county ponders next move

Landowners have replaced the gate blocking the Hughes Creek Road in the upper West Fork. The Ravalli County Commission is considering its options.

Anyone have a long range rifle and a bunch of tanerite? If you give yourself a mile head start you should be fine.

Na, the County Commissioners need to follow the law and start fining them the max amount by law. They need to grow some balls, or it's going to cost the citizens of Ravalli Country some money.

How much would that be?

Looks like it should be a simple as "douche bag landowner, meet jail cell"......
