Friggin' "roadless area conservation initiative."
That abortion should never have seen the light of day.
If you are wondering why my wife sounds just like me, it's because it was me. I made the last post under her name. ;-).
Last week there was a large fire that burnt out of control for about a week around in an isolated area about two North of the San Francisco area.
My wife talked to a lady/rancher whose ranch was severely burned during the fire.
1. First of all the road closure and anti brush clearing the past decade set up the conditions.
2. Then apparenly Fish and Game stopped the land owners from clearing the brush along deer trails a few years ago.
So when the fire started, it exploded with all the old brush and followed the brush ladened deer trails. The lady and her family watched the fire roar up these trails out of control and then spread to the areas around the trails.
The lady's home and barns were saved as they had set up a green belt around them. They got their cattle down safely.
However their winter grazing areas were burnt off, and the cattle have no grass to feed on this winter. She is in the process of getting a loan to buy hay to feed their cattle this winter.
The deer in this area are over populated, and they are like rats, not some rare endangered species. California Fish and Game like most Fish and Game departments across the nation are controlled by enviral whackos practicing worship of brush and worthless creatures.
