This article is so sad. I heard a long summary of BS on this. They have to blow them up because they cannot use saws in that forrest due to laws. So no chainsaws, but explosives ok... i feel myself headed to the unwanted political realm.... Could it be the EPA and its long tentacles?

Did you mean to put this in the Funnies part of the forum or is this your sarcasim creaping out.

"The options: use explosives to break up the cows, burn down the cabin, or using a helicopters or trucks to haul out the carcasses.

But Segin said using helicopters is too expensive and rangers are worried about using trucks in a wilderness area, where the government bars permanent improvements and tries to preserve the natural habitat.

Carroll praised the Forest Service for trying to remove the animals while doing the least damage. He said burning down the cabin or packing out the carcasses are probably the best solutions.

"They need to use the minimal tool to get the job done. They don't want to leave the land scarred," he said.

Segin said the Forest Service occasionally uses explosives to destroy carcasses of animals that can't be retrieved.

"We've used them as a means of disposal to remove dead horses, elk and other animals in areas where it's impossible to get them out," he said."

F-ing Idiots. So worried about keeping nature natural, they don't want frozen animals rotting in the woods. We are so far gone, it is hilarious, Properchopper. (now I see the humor)

The merit of exploding them was to reduce contamination local water during thaw.. but wont exploding carcasses hit that water just a bit sooner ?

Potential solution. weekend cookout !

interesting article, Thanks PC
