[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 276124, member: 704"] I don't know what to make of these roads. I was out in the Badlands last week for two days. I noticed oil workers digging their way to wells in their 4X4. It's hard to complain about that since they built the road and I would guess they must get to the rig for some reason. Likewise most of the damage I seen around home was trucks loaded with beans. I realize they have to get their crops off and have no ill feelings about that, but some of those same farmers blame it on hunters. Is it because they want automatic posting. I don't know, but I sometimes suspect that. I seen one heavily loaded stock trailer coming off a trail and onto Magpie road. Evidently they were pulling their cattle out. I think it's different people in different situations. Yes there are a few unthinking hunters, but far more ranchers and farmers are damaging the roads. Especially with the big rigs. Perhaps it's unavoidable, but don't blame everything on the hunters. I'm not calling the landowners disrespectful why do they feel they must call hunters disrespectful? When they say they fear retaliation it's simply a smear campaign. One has to ask why. Statements like that make me wonder if they tore up their own roads to push and agenda. That's not an accusation just a suspicion. Edit: For the record I love beef. I grilled ribeye last night. However I run across an article this morning that I thought was ironic. I feel like hunters get badmouthed today and asked for support tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
