You're incorrect with you statement... Bows need to be cased... But a soft case is perfectly legal to use.Must have your bow in hard case while in transit!
I sure hope you never take the law into your own hands... Regardless if someone breaks the law you should never sabotage someones equipment. 2 wrongs don't make a right and I can assure you that there are plenty of eyes out in the woods. The fine for leaving a trail is a lot less then being sued for destroying property. Not to mention that someone might take that person and you might find yourself getting a serous ass beating because you decide to play Ranger Righteous.Go to CO Big Game Atlas. Find the MVUM tab, and you will see every road and trail that is open to motorized vehicles, w symbols indicating which vehicles are allowed on any given trail. It is illegal to take a machine off a designated trail. Weapons must be enclosed in a case and have no ammunition in mag or chamber on ATV or motorcycle. A CO permit is required to use atv on public lands. Expect that other hunters will record illegal activity and notify law enforcement, I do so every year. Egregious offenders have found their machines sabotaged.
Yea we were just gonna use to get further up trail head from the truck . Not hunting from it .is that common or no ?
I would be curious as to where it states you need a drivers license and insurance to operate a OHV. Here is the laws as of currently Colorado Parks & Wildlife -You need a permit, drivers license, proof of insurance and proof of ownership now in Colorado if I'm not mistaken. I've been told that there are a couple of forest districts in central Colorado that have closed down their OHV trails and will only allow them on FS roads.
I don't have a beef with folks who use them, I'm sure they can come in handy, like animals, I've just never used them in that capacity.
I have issues with folks who can't follow the rules or think they don't apply to them because they can do it in their home state.
I would be curious as to where it states you need a drivers license and insurance to operate a OHV. Here is the laws as of currently Colorado Parks & Wildlife -
Laws
San Juan County (Silverton), Hinsdale County (Lake City) , OurayCounty and San Miguel County (Telluride) have many county roads open to OHVs, but each operator must carryproof of insurance. All of these counties, except for Ouray county, also require that operators have a valid driverslicense and be 16 years of age to drive on county roads.
Persons less than 10 years of age cannot operate OHVs on public roads. OHV operators between the ages of 10 and16 must be accompanied by and under the immediate supervision (within direct visual contact) of a person with a validdriver’s license
The key words here is " ON COUNTY ROADS" and " PUBLIC ROADS" People need to understand that operating a ATV on a road is different then operating a ATV on a trail that is open to ATV use... One doesn't need to be insured nor does it require a drivers license to operate an ATV on a trail anywhere in Colorado.This seems to be a county reg for multiple counties in SW CO.
My guess is that this is also required for any "plated" vehicles from states that allow license plates on ATVs. The only other law pertaining to driver's licenses has to do with minors.
