Well lets see, the feds didn't speak up about the 1/4 mile when the had the chance at these board of game meetings, the biologist were "fairly well middle of the road" on getting rid of the 1/4 mile restriction, so who could this leave? The original proposers of the 1/4 mile restriction doing what they can to close the whole area down? The folks that spent a lot of time wasting wildlife enforcement dollars to investigate infraction allegations on the Haul Road that ended up resulting in no convictions or citations, just lost dollars in an already tight budget?

If you are planning on keeping names and infomation behind closed doors, I have a hard time shelling out any credibility to your claims. If it is in such jeapordy to be lost, why wouldn't you take the time to contact your local organizations so we can help preserve it? We've got the backing of several very credible people and organizations to preserve the 1/4 mile, and the entire DHCMA, so it will not go down without a fight. We've got the backing of the Board of Game, the Fairbanks Advisory Committee, the Alaskan Bowhunters Assn., Black Sheep Bowman, the Juneau Archery Club, Wildlife Enforcement, Senators, the Governor and the list goes on with the vast majority of the users in the area supporting the right to keep the Haul Road hunt open.
