Coalition sues Forest Service Beaverhead-DL plan
Beaverhead County has joined a coalition of motorized access and other groups to sue the U.S. Forest Service over its revised management plan for the Beaverhead-Deerlodge Forest that calls for more wilderness areas.
The county joined nearly 20 groups that include multiple use, motorized access and ranching interests in alleging that the Forest Service tailored its revised plan based on the “partnership” of logging companies and environmental groups that submitted its proposal at the 11th hour. The groups filed the lawsuit recently in Butte federal court.

It seems the FOREST SERVICE is again playing GOD. If you look at the NEW ,new map you’ll see that MOST of the trails close to motorized use on 10/14. Exactly one week before rifle season starts. This in NOT the plan that was approved back in 2006 and is a violation of our state constitutionally guaranteed right to hunt in Montana. If you can’t get there, you can’t hunt plain and simple. We need to kick this “Take Back Montana” thing into high gear and shove it right up their ass. F*%$ them to the moon!
