[QUOTE="SLE, post: 390673, member: 3889"] They way I understood it. The landowners won't open up their private land for snowmobile trail access until elk season is done which is the first weekend of January. AKA, they want the elk on their land for hunting or fee hunting, but don't care as much once the hunting season is over. So if they are that big of a problem, the land owners need to help themselves a little with land access to others. I don't know any of this first hand, this all comes from hearsay from both the aspect of why the sled trails aren't open sooner and also the exploding population of elk up in the hills. I've put my share of miles on the sleds up there and I've never ran across elk. We see moose and deer regularly. I did go up one year when we had a bunch of snow before the trail system was technically "open". I was expecting that it wasn't open because it wasn't signed, cleared, or groomed which didn't bother me. That is until we tried to ride the trail (followed gps maps and years of memory knowing where the trails are) only to run into fenced off areas and closed gates with posted signs.
