Have any of you guys seen any rutting activity on the forest or management area yet? I know that it's getting time but haven't made it over there yet. Just curious as to what's going on over there. Thanks

I'm sure they are use to them honestly but what makes it legal for them to be back there when it says no horses?

We will stop it if we see it. Catching them riding where they shouldn't ain't as easy as it seems. Took me several months to catch them in one area.

MTeague shot one that looked like a horse with antlers last year. He took the saddle off and let the rider take it before the pics.

Matt, do the horse riders have to buy a permit to use the land? Probably not. In Choccolocco, people ride horse on their trail during gun deer hunts. The hunters have to buy a management area license to hunt, and only get to use the land on certain dates. Horse riders don't pay squat and get to use the land 365 days a year. I propose, a usage fee. Anybody using the property for anything, hunting,fishing,camping,biking, or riding horses should all pay the same amount.
