(I dont want some pissed of drunk hunter giving me any warning shots)


do you think all hunters drink? thats like saying all atvers destroy the land and trails. if you see a drunk hunter, call a cop.

 

NBo i dont think all hunters drink while huunting. I my self am a avid hunter. But im in the Upper peninsula so yes i do think there are quite a few drunk hunters. Ive already read a few local incidents about this fact. I was just saying i dont want a drunk hunter trying to teach me a lesson or mistake me. And thanks i got the orv handbook and it says i cant even drive it on the road to get to the trail but i know i can ive asked a cop while i was driving along the road. I just wanted to hear what everybodys elses experiences were. And thanks for the responces.

That still doesn't mean anything to me. I was answering a question that someone asked, whether or not you liked my answer is irrelevant to me.

What an arrogant response!

I also was answering a question. The differance is, the answer's I give, comes directly from the mouth of someone who is trained and is specialized in answering these types of ORV questions to the general public, on an everyday basis.

Its now appearant that you cannot figure out the differance between a user who is receiving an answer from somebody who deals with these kind of questions on an EVERYDAY basis who is also a specialist in his/her field, and the average internet user who may or may not lead someone astray with their answer.

I dont think anyone in here really cares what is irrelevant to you, as long as they get the correct answer to their question.

I did MY part.</end quote></div>







Talk about arrogant - and stupid - you have chosen to attack someone in an internet chat room after posting your name, phone number ect...... My answer was clearly the correct one, as I said earlier - get your answer the source (i.e. - the State), not some guy in a chat room.

I would hope so, but it depends on what you mean by "trail." I always set up my deer stand well off the specified ATV trail, but I've had season openers spoiled by ATV'ers. I get out to my stand well before daylight and sit for several hours, only to have an ATV chug down a nearby logging trail, or even right down the deer trail that I'm watching. That's a bit inconsiderate to other hunters, not to mention illegal, and you don't see many deer with that going on.

A friend of mine went elk hunting in Colorado. One of the guys in his party got a nice bull the first morning, then spent the next few days riding around the area on his ATV. No one else even saw an elk, and the ATV'er was never invited on another hunt.

I've read that Minnesota accommodates ATV'ers by allowing them into the woods before and after shooting hours. That would be good manners even where not required by law.

 

You must wear an approved helmet in Michigan during hunting season if you want to ride your ATV. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Are there and restrictions on trail usage during hunting season in <span class="FTHighlightFont">michigan</span ft>?</end quote></div>

I did go back and read and the orignal question was ^ as you can see i have highlighted the section in dispute for you.....
That was the original question!

Happy Trails!!!

 

Personally I would call it common courtesy to other sportsmen not to be on a trail during hunting season. surely some one can find other places to ride for the "fun" of it where they wouldnt bother someone out on a couple of days in the woods to do some hunting . Riding an ATV where someone could be known to be hunting is like a water skier on a lake going past a fisherman at 50 mph and throwing a wake 5 foot high , but then some people dont have any thoughts of other people regardless.
In Arkansas , one can ride an ATV on a trail if its not marked as closed. some do close during firearms season only for the protection of the rider. Myself I wouldnt be dumb enough to be in the woods on a sport ride where I thought there was someone with high power rifles shooting at anything that moved including people on ATV;s

 

"Okay... i just gotta know! How were you answering his question by spouting off about MN ATV regulations when he asked about MI? That my friend was totally IRRELEVANT!"


I was just thinking that common courtesy, no matter the location or laws in effect at that location, is relevent. Also relevant to the topic is that some places have imiplemented ways to accommodate both ATV'ers and hunters.

 

Not just common courtesy, it's common sense as well.

Anywhere that has people discharging high velocity rifles is probably not a place you want to be riding on a regular basis. Those bullets can carry quite a distance and maintain lethal force. It's the inexperienced hunters that are dangerous - not careful of backdrops, don't know what is around them, some times buck fever gets them shooting at anything that moves. We get 'accidents' every once in a while here in KY - some kid shot at a deer in an open field (no backdrop), missed, the 30-30 bullet traveled a mile and hit a baby in a trailer. The baby lived, bullet was almost spent by the time it came through the trailer. The easier the game, the more amateurs out in the field.

You got a whole year to ride. Give it a rest for a few weeks, and don't become a statistic for a first timer.

 

i was just reading wat deeplaker posted about people ruining it with atvs..

last year at 7 o clock in the morning a guy comes SCREAMING in at like 55 mph on his atv right at dawn!!

he parked it right in the middle of the field my friend was hunting at (thats were the deer crossed)!!

but it was private property..
