RE: PA Deer Management is Almost OK
i have a question. i know SGL's are open to public but are bikers aloud to ride during hunting season? last year on the 1st day of bow i parked for my afternoon hunt and as i was getting out of the truck all these SUV's pulled up. ended up being 12 people going to ride bikes back. i started walking and they flew by me not a one said hello or anything they were yelling to each other being loud. well i was pretty mad but i thought well they will stay on the hard road but they didnt they went off into the woods.
they shouldnt be aloud to do that, and if they are shouldnt they have respect for someone hunting? |

That must be one of those rules that's made to be broken.There's plenty of bike riders and hikers on these SGL's during the hunting season.Up north I've seen hunters themselves going back on mountain bikes.
On SGL 211 there's a gated road specifically for bike riders and horse riders and I've seen them both during hunting seasons with a WCO watching. |
RE: PA Deer Management is Almost OK
you're allowed to use bikes if you're hunting,scouting etc and you don't have to stay on designated trails.

RE: PA Deer Management is Almost OK
That makes sense.I don't have a problem with hunters doing it and I've done it myself on SGL 211 but when you get bike riders on the smaller gamelands during bow season it's really a waste of time hunting there.
I wonder why they don't enforce this law? |
