Harris park road closure??

[GunTroll]

Heard Harris Park is closed for the elk to drop their calves. Is this true? I'll call the USFS in a bit but just wondered if someone knew. I'm going to sight in a rifle today and Harris is the closest to me that I like.

Do you think if we started driving through there that the Elk would find another place to drop the calves?

Just thinking.... I'm pretty sure they have been around for hundreds of years, pretty sure they can adapt.

Gates wide open, just came back from out there. Don't think that area has ever been a calving area, Further up on Rosalie, and in the big meadows up Deer Creek trail usually has been.

They close gates all around in spring time.. Road can get real bad with tire ruts. When road dries up alittle they open them back up.

No ruts hell you can drive a cadillac out there.

Great information. I'm very glad this wasn't a permanent closure. Just got back from the 'range' between Deckers and Buffalo Creek. There was a USFS truck parked there, but no one around. At first my heart sank, thinking they were closing it. It's all good,still don't know where the USFS guys were though.

It was closed earlier in the spring for the mud. Opened when it was dry. Re-closed recently for the elk and as of last FRI re-opened. I called and that's what they(USFS) told me. All is good. Nice and trashed as usual unfortunately. I did however score like 250 LC 223rem and 20 30-30win nickel plated and 20 270win brass pieces! I love being a brass whore. Hell another guy was up there and he thought I was cleaning up so he chipped in and gathered brass for me. What a nice guy! I love the people who just shoot and leave their brass (as long as someone like me comes in and picks it up) What I do dislike is all the rim-fire shooters who just shoot and leave it. LAME!

and the shotgun assholes who shoot clays and then leave a 2' deep pile of shells.
