Landower Help?

Maybe we can come up with a way to help landowners.

Classicchick, and Skylar have shown big examples of the issue just in this past week.

I hate to see all the sled tracks all over the place right next to the "Stay on Trail" signs.


How about a specific sign tied to law?
The sign could be a tool that we could use to report abusers. It could also be a tool for the LEOs to use for a fine process.

I love the trail system and the off trail opportunites, but I hate seeing the tracks on marked properties. Most of us are pretty dang good at making sure we only ride off in the approved areas, but a few are wrecking things.

I honestly have no idea if there is any kind of repercussion to someone riding past the simple "Stay on Trail" signs.

Do you think that a specific sign and fine would help to preserve the trails?

WI already has law on books illegal to ride anywhere off "MARKED TRAIL" & can be ticketed yet it still happens. LEO have better things to do & would be a slow day to start writing tickets. Landowner would need to catch & detain intruders until LEO got there to ticket or arrest. Not a simple matter at all. Cutting fences, crushing trees is crazy stuff!! No sense at all just mindless ****e!

Well one could set up one of those motion cameras from cabela's... and download pics then send to LEO or DNR or whatever it is called. My uncle " UB " has them all over his property, getting pics of deer & coyotes & foxes all the time.

There is one big problem with the cameras, in order to get a ticket issued you would need to get a clear pic of the reg number. You would need a very high end motion cam and be dam lucky for it to get a pic at the right moment to be able to read a reg number. It would show you the day/time etc that the act happened but to say it was a "yellow doo" or a "black poo" and the rider had a blue helmet on ;) that only matches about 1 millon riders out there.

If you want to help the landowners, then stay on the trail unless you have permission to be there.
