Rant (Public road closed on private land)

[3gunyotehtr]

Just got back from hunting mule deer, a road that I have driven on for years was closed for the mile that it passed through private. Had to drive a good 20 extra miles to get around to the other side. It just befuddles me how a rancher can do that. This isn't some old 2 track, it is a very well maintained named and numbered road. It is a pet peeve that it is such a common problem across the west.

Call your game warden and meet him there. Likely the lock will get cut.

Harder for them to get away with locking up a public road these days, check with the county and see if it is in fact public. If so call the Sheriff or GW.

Was it posted as closed or gated and locked? If its just posted then drice thru

There are "county" roads that have never had proper public easements, we've had a cpl up here in the last few years get gated off.

My understanding has always been if it's not locked, leave the gate the way you found it and be respectful. Don't go hauling ass through there making dust or making yourself at home. Get through and get out.
