ctafoya Report post Posted January 1, 2015 The wife and I are doing some metro hunting and im a bit confused. I see all these signs that say no trespassing state trust land access point at mp207 blah blah blah. A hunting license and valid tag is our permission right? There are no signs that say no hunting.

5guyshunting Report post Posted January 1, 2015 No target shooting. If you are actively hunting you are good, your license is your permit. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish the clowns that target shoot in some areas would realize that. They probably don't contribute a penny to the environment!!! It's gated access.... it says no trespassing.... so that must mean its OK to go litter in the desert and shoot a centerfire rifle for fun across the flats hoping it won't hit anyone! on another note. If it says "no shooting" that just means no target shooting as well correct? This is on state trust, but there aren't any gates as its an access road to some houses a few mile up the desert mountains. it doesn't have any of the no trespassing signs either. Just a random no shooting sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted January 2, 2015 A lot of the metro unit state trust lands have locked gates and signs saying "closed to all motor vehicles" for soil conservation efforts. I hiked back into the metro areas the other day, as I was paranoid about the no motor vehicle signs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khmer6 Report post Posted January 2, 2015 5guys. These areas are annexed and are in city limits. So hunting only discharge of firearms laws would still apply. But seems like no one follows. My daughter and I picked up a bag of trash. There was plenty more. But we weren't there to clean up people's messes l. Showing her the ropes to respecting what we are given. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome you cleaned up, I find my self cleaning up camp sites all the time these days. We dont even leave bones from our filled tags, we pick them up and find a discrete spot for them. Happy hunting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
