My son and I had a great hunt this morning.
A bit late to our spot knowing what routes the birds have been taking.
Watched em gobbling with their dates and never saw or heard them the rest of the day.
We were greater by US Forestry - Law Inforcement.
As we strolled by he was writing a couple a citation.
He asked to speak with me and if gun my was loaded.
I had the receiver open as with my sons shotgun. Told him shells were in my pack.
After routine license and tag check he informed me that we would be receiving a citation.
He stated all trails are closed to mitigate human congestion.
I pushed back, informed him there has been no public announcement for the closures of these trails. He then pointed to an 8×10 notice which had been torn and taped to the brown railing.
I asked him how are we supposed to see that
He asked what time did I head in. I responded 4:30, we hiked 2 & 1/2 miles in.
At this time he said he let us off and not to use the trail heads until further notice.
As we took possession of our guns and walked off he continued to write the couple their citations.
I stopped and listened to the wife say thats not fair which I supported her and said she's right. We're all keeping our distance.
The officer then said for the couple to go ahead and leave.
Two other vehicles then arrived which they began writing citations and placing them on the other vehicles.
I saw this all along Sunrise hwy as we drove home .
Just a heads up if you're planning to hunt public land.
