The Crow Wing County Land Services Department wants to remind off-highway vehicle users that recreational riding on forest trails passing through county-administered public lands is prohibited during the 2018 Minnesota firearms deer hunting season.
The restriction does not preclude the deer hunter, with a valid deer hunting license, to operate an off-highway vehicle before legal shooting time, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., or after legal shooting hours.
This restriction is in effect Nov. 3-18, inclusive, in Zone 100 (north of County Highway 1 and east of Highway 6) and Nov. 3-11, inclusive, in Zone 200 (south of County Highway 1 and west of Highway 6).
All recreational users of county forest lands are reminded to wear blaze orange while they are out in the field during this hunting season.
