For Immediate Release: :Hunter:

:coffee: ,,,,
Temporary off-highway vehicle restrictions begin with firearms deer opener
:drillsergeant: ......
Off-highway vehicles for recreational use will be restricted in some areas during the Minnesota firearms deer hunting season. :tut:
The restrictions, which apply to state forest trails and access routes but not to state forest roads, aim to protect recreational riders from potentially unsafe riding conditions and to minimize conflicts training-087 between deer hunters and recreational riders who may inadvertently disturb them.
The 2020 riding season has seen many new OHV enthusiasts hitting the trails for the first time, and many of them may not be familiar with these longstanding temporary closures, said Bruce Lawrence, recreational vehicle coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Enforcement Division. If you know someone who's new to riding this year, we encourage you to share this information with them.
Vehicles affected by the restrictions include all-terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles and registered off-road vehicles such as four-wheel drive trucks that are not being used in conjunction with deer hunting by a licensed deer hunter.
Licensed deer hunters may still use these routes in conjunction with their hunting activity:
•Before legal shooting time.
•From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
•After legal shooting hours.
Effective dates of the recreational riding restrictions are:
•7-22 for the northeastern Minnesota 100 Series deer season.
•7-15 for the Minnesota 200 Series deer season.
Because recreational OHV trails located in southeastern Minnesota close by Nov. 1 each year, no additional OHV riding restrictions are necessary in that part of the state.
While many recreational OHV riders have voluntarily opted not to ride forest trails during deer hunting and small-game seasons, recreational OHV riding has become a year-round sport for many. DNR officials remind everyone who visits Minnesota's state forests this fall to put safety first. :tut:
For more information, visit the OHV closures page for specific trail closure information; the 2020 deer season map online; or contact the DNR Information Center at info.dnr@state.mn.us or call 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday. :bow:

So I got an email from the DNR, starting soon, if you have a husband/ wife license of any type you now both have to go down to get it so they can update the information.
Not a big deal but I get the sportsman's license and could get it when I felt like it, now gotta drag the wife with
-
hmm. I haven't gotten that email. Yet.
-
I always get the husband/wife Sportsman thing online. Then I print out multiple copies and put one in each boat and fishhouse and one in our wallets.

i used to also, until i seen it was coming from like tennessee...i aint giving an extra 3-5 bucks to an out of state place.......i'll support a local business.
-
If you buy a fishing license online they don't even mail it to you. You have to print them out yourself.

well I'm SOL for now. The printer I had I had to return when I retired. We looked around Christmas but there wasn't many to choose from.
-
I prefer to go to the ELS agent for fishing license anyway. Then they are waterproof. I put my sportsman license in my wallet and the wife's goes in the tackle box. That way it is always with us.

Glenn printers are cheap (it's the ink they clobber you on) for the price of 20 cases (about $100) of that stuff you call beer you can buy a new printer. Either that or tell momma to get a part time job. :bonk:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: I know, just haven't felt the absolute need quite yet but it's on the need to buy list. Even if we had one I wouldn't buy my license on line.

glenn on the up side you should get the senior discount on your combo license fee right? I'm not married so dunno for sure?

Once you turn 90 you don't need a license

glenn on the up side you should get the senior discount on your combo license fee right? I'm not married so dunno for sure?
it m not sure. Never looked into it. When I figure the price of the license by the amount of hours I spend hunting or fishing it's pretty minimal fee. It's the damn beer that's spendy. :confused: :rotflmao:
Roony, I think it's younger than that. :scratch: my mom is 84 and think hers is free, she just needs to get it renewed somehow???🤔

Minnesota's DNR wolf plan
:coffee:.. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/wolves/wolf-plan.html
-
Thanks Lee and Merry Christmas to you.
-
I started reading it but got distracted yesterday. Didn't like some parts of it. Was there any mention of hunting wolves next year?
-
There's about 4-5 paragraphs starting at pg 19 of the link provided that talk about hunting wolves but I didn't see anything that mentioned next year though. :rolleyes:
-
Probably never be another Wolf hunt in this Woke panzi state. Even the DNR is being taken over by animal lovers. :surrender:

X4 Hi Lee.
-
so.........i get a weekly email from the DNR, regarding CO reports. lately in the grand rapids reports i see them checking illegal birch harvest??
anyone know what exactly they are harvesting????? is it the bark????? and what the illegal activity would be??? there used to be a gut up hwy 6 by the bigfork river that made birch bark canoes?????
seems like Mr Fairbanks and his dog get quite busy helping other agencies track down troublemakers!!!
i also like to keep an eye on the st cloud area.........and those guys up on da border!!! :happy1: :rotflmao: :evil:

Maybe just as decorative logs and things. I know it gets pretty bad too.
-
Lee Lee Lee, how good to hear from you. I hope life is good for youse. LOL We all miss you. Have a great day. X5 So I have a copy of the DNR regs book. I just noticed in the top of the cover it says what nationalities you can get it in and one was Karen. I laughed and asked the wife why there is an edition for wacked out ladies. LOL Thankfully she has a great sense of humor. She said that is legit. I could look it up but wanted to let you all know. LOL OK I will look it up and report back.
-
Ok did my due diligence. Karen is the language of Myanmar, formerly Burma. The language has been around for a couple thousand years.

looked up birch tree harvesting and there are good many things to be done with those tree's and bark... interesting...
-
:pouty: Google knows everything, glenn. :nerd: https://wtip.org/harvesting-birch-poles-spruce-tops-not-legal-without-permit/ ;) :rolleyes: :smiley: Just west of Deer River, between the liqour store & Fred's Bait, is this place https://birchbuyersmn.com/ & that might have something to do with too. :scratch: I asked Fred's wife about the business next door 1 time & she said they are buyers for IKEA who makes furniture out of them. :confused:

I heard the gals from Inger like to browse on birch buds... :coffee:
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
:scratch: I did ask if it was just like gathering pine boughs in the fall, mainly natives doing it, & she said yes it was. She also said that a lot of the birch actually got sent all the way to Sweden too. I had no idea on the permits & regs though, but it does make sense that they couldn't just have anybody & everybody going anywhere & everywhere doing it either.
-
and the bark has to be cut at the right time and the right way too... so the tree can survive....

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: sounds like a personnel issue to me!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
i new they needed a permit to cut boughs in the fall........see alot of it around the cabin....but wonder how many actually get a permit.
i've ventured ALOT of places up there in the woods in my years and can tell where that guy that made canoes has been....and its all friggin over.......but its the same pattern on the tree. and there all still alive. but i havent see anything freash, so wonder iffin he doesn't do it anymore? :scratch:
good thing those recent bird feeder thing i just made, the birch came from the firewood pile......and was from our property and from a dead tree!! :happy1:
-
I remember a few years back my buddies wife wanted him to bring back some small birch to make candle holders when we went up Deer scouting. I was about to leave him in the woods if he yelled "there's one" one more time, and it wasn't a Deer! :taz: :taz:

:scratch: I would think the birch buyers probably wouldn't want to get caught buying from people who didn't have permits real often either. :rolleyes:

yea i dont know Gunner.........its a different world up there in some ways. i know a family up there that go out and do ricing, the CO up there was married to one of the daughters. he ended up busting them for ricing without the license/stamp whatever it as they needed. one would think having a CO in the family they'd kinda tow the line!!!!
-
:scratch: Dumb :moon: probably figured that would make it easier for them to get away with. :doah: If the SIL knows they're not following the rules, I'm sure there's friends & neighbors that would too. :tut: :imstupid:

oh...i've gotten to know that group quite well...... yea they bend the rules.
you might know where that CO used to live. just east of the sand lake cemetry. Kirk, that does the engine repair and drives school bus lives there now. that family lived about a mile further east. some live down cty 36 now. think its 36 right there.
-
:scratch: CR 36 is now CR 622 for some effed up reason! :rolleyes:

oh yea I remember seeing that now that you mention it. :rotflmao: I thought WTF to.

Did they make it a State Aid road? OR remove it from being state aid? Up here every County road under the number 50 is a State Aid road. Document any work we did on those roads and time spent for the state aid. Huge help in paying for the work.

:scratch: I asked Tim over at the Bstore about it not long after it was changed & he said something to the affect that any CR with a 1 or 2 digit # now has to be a blacktop, all of a sudden. :crazy:

Efficiency in the keeping track of everything. So three digits are gravel or etc. Makes sense. I had to keep track of every hour of mowing on every road I was on in a day and sometimes that may have been 10 or 12 different roads. Hauling gravel had to keep track of each load on each road too just like dozing, excavating, filling trucks, sweeping, replacing culverts etc. If you are curious ask your buddy if all state aid roads are under 50. That is probably a state wide thing. Counties can switch road numbers to get more state aid on certain roads. I really enjoyed working with the highway guys.

A year ago when we had the meeting about our roads the ole county commissioner said that all roads under 50 are state aid highways.
