We're loving the wilderness to death and something needs to be done about overuse and trashing special places!

It is the same old thing, a few spoil it for the many. As we allow more people to move into our area the more trash and crime come along with them. There is less respect for everything lately.

Steve Scarich

Something needs to be done to re-distribute the volume to specific trailheads. I would rather have seen the FS actively encourage users to head to other sites, though.

Go after the folks who trash the wilderness but don't limit the numbers of those who respect the land and follow the rules!

Just another sign that Bend, (CO) is changing for the worst. Bend spent years trying to get people to move here, well...they got their wish.

Again Dem's punish the one's who repect the land.

Terry Whitted

I love our wilderness. I don't want the government restricting my access.

More passes, rules, regulations, and reservations are making it harder to go out on a hike or head out, hiking/camping, on a whim. A permit/reservation is making spontaneity a thing of the past

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

BV is not a good quality restaurant for the cost. Have never liked them and always like Del Taco.
