Title: Your Input Post by: Rare Earth Rider on May 04, 2008, 10:54:05 PM Went to corbett today Had a great time but when we got back to the truck to load up FWC was waiting for us he said been waiting on us so he could tell us more-less our fun was over for at least the next four months until hunting starts back up no riding on any trails other than the main grade or tomato grade don't get caught any where else till then or get a ticket. what I don't understand what is the difference and why other than its the way we (FWC) want it. I really don't want to ride in hunting season maybe get shot and respect for the hunter. I would think that that's when they (FWC) would want you to ride but what do I know I am just a stupid ATV rider what are your thoughts later.

Title: Re: Your Input Post by: Mudneck on May 05, 2008, 08:24:36 AM The way I read the regs, is that you need to stay on the numbered trails. Do not go off & wander around. I was out there 1 week ago & most the gates were locked. Makes no sense in hunt season they can take a buggy & tear up every inch of the place & non hunt season we cant take a vehicle that is 4k lbs less on the trails? I think you may have misunderstood.

Those little quails on a stick taste good on the BBQ. ;) Title: Re: Your Input Post by: backwoods boy on May 05, 2008, 01:38:03 PM who gives a rats arse the animals will get used to it i think its more important for humans to be enjoying themseleves than the animals having a quiet forest what the heck is this a fricken bambi movie its not like your gonna be out there beating them w/ bats or somethin
Title: Re: Your Input Post by: renmus on May 05, 2008, 01:45:31 PM hey...I was just giving a possibility. Consider this, these are the same animals they will tell people to go hunt in a few months. BBQ quail on a stick does sound pretty good.
Title: Re: Your Input Post by: backwoods boy on May 05, 2008, 03:09:40 PM wasnt bashing your opinion renmus thats probably in reality why they are doin it i just dont see their point in it i mean we have like a thousand wma's why not 1 riding area its not like its gonna kill the animals if we ride there
Title: Re: Your Input Post by: Rare Earth Rider on May 05, 2008, 03:44:17 PM Bushwacker, he made it very clear on the no ride till first bow season he even took time out of his busy day to wait on us to get back to the truck to let us know with a rules & regulation highlighted in green on the dates and roads and also on the map where to ride.

Title: Re: Your Input Post by: Rare Earth Rider on May 05, 2008, 04:24:11 PM When you said (we go to RR) did you include me LOL.
Title: Re: Your Input Post by: Busta Nutt on May 05, 2008, 04:43:53 PM If it was up to me all vehicles would have to have a valid license plate and insurance to ride on the named and numbered roads only all year round.
Title: Re: Your Input Post by: Mudneck on May 05, 2008, 08:00:28 PM well that rules you out cause you dont even have pip.
Tater yep we 'll meet up in front BBQ again ::) Title: Re: Your Input Post by: 561rincon on May 05, 2008, 08:16:49 PM i believe its for the animals, yes you will be hunting them in a few months but if they let people ride all year you will drive the animals out. heres a point.. say you live in an area kinda like loxahatchee used to be where there was one maybe 2 houses per road now theres house upon house and low income housing moves in and now would you stay or move to a less populated quiet neighbor hood like the one you have known forever?
it sucks we have no place to ride but its not worth losing a decent place to hunt and ride when it is available to us. 2cents deposited and no i don't want a refund...lmao |
