But I'm sure ELF (Earth Liberation Front) would love to help you track them down.

You mentioned the tree, but were they, in addition, shooting in an unsafe direction?

I guess I'm saying I dont see what the crime here is. Perhaps destruction of property, but then, the tree was on the range? You don't say.

Copied from the national Forest website and told me by a pike forest ranger 2 years ago. If it has changed its news to me....
