I understand a cut/blown corner, but the blatant cutting through fields/private property I don't. Some of these property owners are really picky...I had one stop me and start raising h*ll because of a single track that had veered off the trail by about 6' for probably no more than 30' and just couldn't wait to shut down his part of the trail because of it.
We have a landowner who complained every year about people going off trail. She is not a farmer so crop damaged wasn't her concern. She always wants the trail in certain spots, not pointed towards house and as far away as possible for noise. She finally got sick of off trail riders and made her own signs stating land access will be terminated if it continues. We always used our standard stay on trail signs, but must not have been enough. I will look and see if its up this year. If it is I'll take a pic. Don't know if it's an OCD thing or what, but she doesn't like it.
Less snow = more bitching

Again....what is their understanding of a trail going through their property? What were they told in order to get permission? I am very upfront. No one is perfect and all damage will be corrected. ...and even stock exhaust makes some noise.
Not what she was told a trail would mean. Was before my time and this land was inherited with the trail on it. Then she built a house. Once house was built a straight shot across the property became couple 90 degree corners one which gets cut big time. Then the complaining started. She for sure thinks staying on the trail means between the diamonds and on the groomed surface. Not much you can really do. Its her land. We've talked about going around but probly won't til we are forced, if it ever gets to that point.

Best a luck. ...sometimes strategically placed caution tape at the corners helps corral sledders into a 90 degree bend vs cutting.
Last year the DNR were sitting by Krupps and pinching all kinds of loud can riders, I heard them really complaining up a storm about it, "all the money we spend here....this is the last time we are coming here...." etc.
The DNR gets such a bad rap. Like a guy the use to stop by my cabin, who thankfully doesn't anymore, complained, "yeah I hate that CO. He stopped me and my son while we were out deer hunting and ruined our hunt. We were road hunting and he pulled us over and went way overboard, checked everything and he even made me pour out my beer"
nice
ok--check my history if you want but I rarely post and usually don't complain. Also been an avid snowmobiler for close to 50 years. With that said what would possess some idiot to continuously brap their sled (with a can) going down a plowed county road in the UP with 1" max of snow on it past an area with multiple cabins in close proximity to the road???? Usually I could care less if somebody has a can or pipe on their sled but some riders are either just plain stupid or they are idiots oblivious to their surroundings.

Hey Guys I’m the idiot some of you were talking about from YouTube! Here’s my take on this situation and my response to some of your comments about me. https://youtu.be/gKOGd3uke64
I like your energy and if you keep on sledding in the future your maturing self will end up being a positive influence for the snowmobiling community. Brraaaap your lights out til then and when you get to the point where you actually have the responsibility to get landowners permission to cross their property it will open your eyes just a bit wider....Join a club, get involved ....or just be a youtube fart in the wind.Hey Guys I’m the idiot some of you were talking about from YouTube!

There is a reason some people become DNR agents....
I've had a few run-ins with DNR via boating, sledding, ATV'ing and all of them seemed to be power hungry terds with huge egos. They love having that control or something.
Had one guy make us wait while he went on another call. He had our home addresses so we waited and when he returned he handed us our license back and then just took off.
I don't see it that way and I have never had a problem, ever, with a co. Maybe it's you that are the control freak and can't stand being wrong, impeded, corrected, etc..
I know, I know, you spend all this money up here so you hold some kind of golden ticket where normal behavior and social graces, don't count, nor should you have to abide by the same laws that locals do.
