Kananaskis logging...

[Back Country Hunter]

Shocked to see this, it looks like we are losing some prime hunting territory to logging with more to come if we don't do something. Just wanted to let others know what is happening.

There was a thread on this while back. Logging a good thing. New growth and cut blocks are always a great way to hunt

Logging ( clear cutting ) is also a great way to introduce mass amounts of sediment into cutthroat and rainbow habitat.

Lots of places to hunt- less to fish.

Lumber will be heading to a BC mill. Perfect.

How so (with todays logging practices)?
Like to hear it explained, maybe some picture proof. Or is it hearsay?
I'd be more concerned with hip waders walking thru redds.

yep, I remember the crying when it was done in the ghost about 5 yrs ago. Some of that old growth forest needs to be harvested as we suppress fires too much now a days. in the long run its better for the trees and game.

Cutting that area hurts Alberta businesses (including a hunting guide) and takes out the most productive part of an Alberta trappers territory. The jobs and benefits go to the province that refuses to allow Alberta resources to get to market. Seems pretty simple to me.

Every body takes a dump at least once per day ,I have yet to go to some ones house and see a roll of saran wrap on the roller beside the toilet.If you can clean yourself with saran wrap your a tough sucker for punishment.Plus you must have a real bad case of baboon arrs.

Looks to me like some prime hunting territory is being created.
Do some research, check out old cutblocks and the animals that are living there. Spend some time out there, you will see the improvements that come with the harvesting.
Hopefully they do more!
