You would think the timber company could put up cell cameras in off the ground lock boxes and just send tickets in the mail to people riding around the gate. Win win for everybody.
Some go around at gates, others I've seen will make a mile long trail almost always through a new clear to a spur road.
And the trail made 100 feet from the gate.
It's getting bad.
I've seen a lot of pins and locks broken these days.
But with all the ATV/SxS traffic in some places.
It really isn't fair to keep pickups out.
On the other hand ,I'm not exactly sure how there doing it.
Seen it on NF lately too. Those pins and locks get cut pretty quick.
If I had to guess , rechargeable power tools make short work of it.
