Is hunting season really over on the 3rd?
« on: December 04, 2009, 03:29:38 PM »
Looking at the croom closure threads and it says Nov 11- Dec 3. Can you ride after the 3rd up there without getting shot at? I was just wondering when we can ride safely again.
wherever you go.....there you are.

Don't know Dan-o.  Go ride out there and if you make it back, we'll know.   :D

Wear a brown jersey and that special helmet with the antlers on it.

I think small game season opens after that.. rabbit and such, so less of a chance of them shooting at you..

Allow me to point out that the thread you're referencing was for the 2006 hunting season. This year's general gun season ends on the 6th (this Sunday). Small game season starts Monday and goes through March 7.

With that said, the trails aren't closed during hunting season, so you are still free to ride. I prefer to be a bit more cautious and avoid rifle season. Never had any issues during small game season. I'd be up there next weekend if I weren't running a half-marathon. I'll certainly be there for 35+ miles on Christmas morning.
