I hope this is not a joke. It's hard to tell who is actually who they say they are on these forums.
I understand the need for a permit to cross privately held property, but I don't understand why the forest service would be checking permits issued by a private property owner. The signs that I have seen along Cantwell say "Private Property" not "Federal or State property." So, I'm to understand that the government is now paying enforcement officers to monitor access through private land. Is this service available to everyone? I have property in McCarthy, Alaska and I'd like to have an enforcement officer go check on my property to make sure no one is cutting down my trees for firewood. Who do I call to arrange this?
This is ridiculous. If there is a specific complaint of trespass then a property owner can call authorities to come and remove the trespasser, but to say that you're going to be "checking for permits" means your directly working for the Native Corporation or private property owner. Am I missing something here?
Please, someone explain this to me. I've gotten access permits from Native Corporations on several different occassions, usually for hunting, so I'm familiar with the process.
Agreed, the last time I checked it's mostly Ahtna and State land around there, unless people are riding in the new addition of Denali National Park, the Feds shouldn't be checking for permits on private or state land.
