Exactly how President Bill Clinton’s proposal of using an executive order to bar any development on 40 million acres of federal forest land will impact the Bighorn National Forest is unclear. District Ranger Dave Myers said one area that would be considered roadless is Bucking Mule Falls to Horse Creek.

Senator Mike Enzi said the proposal could bar timber harvesting as well as effectively restrict fishing, hunting and other recreational uses if these uses require motorized vehicles. He believes the management plans already in place should be followed.

For Chad Heiser, it was a dream come true. A longtime avid hunter, Heiser was thrilled to draw a mountain goat license for the Beartooth Mountains in Northwest Wyoming. 

“We did a lot of glassing and had horses up there, but due to my bad knee I didn’t get to kill the goat I wanted to,” he said. “I was hoping for something bigger, but this one was nine inches (the horns). I was hoping for a 10-inch one. He’s probably 250 to 300 pounds.”

Heiser said he will have the animal mounted – a full-body, life-sized mount.
