Just a friendly reminder that the gravel roads will be full of BIG MACHINERY trying to get the crops out of the fields. If you are out and about hunting or scouting, PLEASE try to use some thought when parking your trucks. I'm helping a local farmer with harvest and we've had some problems having to go around trucks parked on the approaches to the fields we need to harvest or just sitting along the roads blocking half the road. It's problematic to back up a tractor and grain cart or a combine for a quarter of a mile when the road is blocked or having to find a shallow spot in the ditch to cross to enter the field. It's tough on equipment and kind of frustrating. Thanks and have a bountiful hunting season.

Its worse out west here, as for some reason some of the guys that come up to work the patch apparently have never seen life in the country.

ya want to see access disappear? piss off a farmer during harvest season. ya want to gain access? do what KDM mentions. when meeting them, just pull over. preferably off the road on an approach. especially if its anything other than a semi. and if you are parking and leaving your vehicle for any extended period of time, make sure its off the road and preferably in a ditch out of the fields and/or approach unless you are absolutely 100% certain they won't be accessing that particular approach and/or field whilst you are gone.
