I personally only know of one area that is state land that is walk in only. Most of the state ground down here is open year round, barring fire danger.

The said unit goes in about 1 1/2 miles, forks, both dead end. Then theres a old 4x trail that connect into another open road system. No active logging activity whatso ever. Guess any gate a feller went through could be locked when you came out.
if its only 1.5 miles i would walk it regardless. It should only take 25 minutes or so.

Guess any gate a feller went through could be locked when you came out.1 1/2 miles is nothing. Walk in and hunt. If the deer are use to rigs driving in, they will step into the brush and come out when there gone. Walking is the the best way to hunt. If you kill something and the gate is still open drive in and get it. If not take you bike back in to get it. :twocents:

Lets say your hunting on the westside, where there are gates on just about all available property. The said gate is state land, you know this for a fact, there is a state timber sale boundry sign on the gate.A buddy of your logged it. The gate is open. There are no restriction signs whatso ever. Would you drive in and hunt, or would you walk and let other folks drive by you?
If there were no signs...or sign posts, I would drive in. If there are signs posted, on the ground or sign posts where the sign could have been torn off then I would walk even if it is state land.
There is a huge problem right now with quads up the C 9000 in the CF. It is signed no unauthorized motor vehicls but it doesn't matter if the gate it open or closed, the hunters continue to break the rules. I see it every day.
One thing that screws up people is that they don't realize that brush pickers can drive quauds in by permit and that makes them authorized. But because the pickers ride in the hunters think they can.
This same behavior has just recently gotten the Summit Lake side (state land) shut down to quads.

If I dont know the gate,I wont drive through it..Bike or walkI'm the same and actually even if a gate is open and you can drive I still often walk.....I just cannot see as much driving as I do walking. Not to mention my truck doesn't just zip down game trails the way my legs do ;)

the only thing that stands out to me is that all the gates I can think of off the top of my head open inward not outward :dunno: but if theres no signs then drive itThat is a good point! We have a very strange gate dilemma here! :dunno:

Better to handle questions like this one in a civil manner than otherwise...
