Why deer flats road should open

It is posted at the lower pit, Middle road and at the entrance to deer flats road

PLEASE .....................

And if you actually read one of the signs it states the local ordinance. The ordinance is the buffer zone from Reiter road......When I asked how far the buffer zone was David couldn't tell me but said use the power lines as a general reference. Shooting on the north side of the power lines is OK. And rule number one of forest watch is don't quote laws therefore I didn't look up the ordinance details just go by the powerline reference....Now you know.:awesomework:
 
We talked about shooting on DNR lands at the last Elbe meeting. According to Nancy it is permitted but you must have a earthen hillside as your backdrop. Shooting at a stump in a clearcut or in the woods is not allowed. Shooting across a road or trail is not allowed. Not cleaning up after yourself is not allowed.

YES shooting on DNR land is allowed unless posted

Exactly! Hunting is allowed during season (with a gun) so therefore shooting must be alowed.
 
Guess my word means nothing so I will get a pic of the sign tomorrow

Charlie you're not understanding here. I know of the signs. Beleive it or not I've been to Reiter once or twice.....The signs are posted up the Reiter road coridoor because that's where shooting isn't alowed.....Beleive it or not us forest watch people have discussed these things so we are informed so we can pass the word onto the rest of you......If you don't want to shoot there it's up to you you're not breaking any rules but you shouldn't be telling anyone they can't shoot if they're following the rules.:cool:

So you stat your self that between Reiter road and the powerlines is a no shooting zone
So if someone is shooting 50' off of Reiter road you should just ignore them
Even if you know there are people in the area hiking
Or can you pull up talk to them advise them of people in the area and see if they make the right decisionto move to a safer area :awesomework:

Since you can't drive past the power lines do you think I was talking about way up on the hill, or right along the road

stupid is that stupid does

See making a decision without all of the facts

Ya jump to conclusions

That is the flippin problem, uneducated decision making is just stupid

Slowing down and asking questians before you spout off would be the proper way to handle things

Maybe I know what I am talking about
I do believe people have the right to shoot and carry guns. I also believe there is a place for them to be shot
 
I recall this conversation some time ago and as I recall rick had some good info regarding it--and in fact I was wrong in one of my facts.


I understand Rick know some crap, But he also needs not to jump to conclutions
the post before this one I have high lighted the facts

Can we move on now since the law is posted :cheer:

It is all how things are handled. I was up at Reiter this spring pined behind a tree while people were shooting for just about an hour. they didn't know I was there. When I finally got to them they were nice people and all

BUT that sucked

I didn't make any decisions or jump to any conclusions. I merely infomed you of the facts and the facts I wrote are 100% accurate. That's what forest watch does and that's what I did. You don't seem to understand that you're the one who is uneducated on this.... Either that or you just can't read.:rolleyes:

Very nice skirting of the original conversation
I respect you Rick and the law has been posted here on the forum so now it is black and white

read, review and do as you wish and I will do as I wish. That is the wonderful thing about America, we can do that
 
Imho, target shooting is the least of your worries if that road opens.

NO ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMO if we don't get more people in the area it will be the end of legal wheelin

the only way to get more people in the area is open the road
yes it is a catch 22 but I am willing to take that chance over loosing it the way it is going to go if it keeps going the way it is going now
