The Crow Wing County Board took action prohibiting recreational riding of off-highway vehicles (OHV) on forest trails passing through Crow Wing County administered public lands during the state firearms deer hunting season.

This restriction does not preclude the deer hunter, with a valid deer hunting license, to operate an off-highway vehicle in accordance with existing state law.

 

This restriction is in effect from Nov. 7-22, inclusive, in Zone 100 (north of County Road 1and east of State Highway 6) and Nov. 7-15, inclusive, in Zone 200.

All recreational users of county forest lands are reminded to wear blaze orange while they are out in the field during this hunting season.

“We’ve had success bringing illegal riders to justice by snapping photos of their ID stickers. The problem in California is that they’re too darn small to see from far away or at high speeds. While I’m normally not in favor of the government getting involved in things, requiring all ORVs to have a visible ID with a minimum size and standard location would make them an even better tool for property owners to identify trespassing riders. We should also look to Wyoming’s lead and make trespassing penalties clear so riders think twice before they head off designated trails and onto my land.”
