  Anyone who bags a Deer or Wild Turkey on Multiple  Use Areas these days truly has a Trophy!

  Nothing Scares a Wild Turkey more then Speeding and Colorful Mountain  Bikers. 2nd would be Hunting Dogs.

   No complaints at all. I just embrace the Grind and try to Bag some game.

Easy fix: just go to unlimited mountain bike riders for six months each year. It’s worked on NJ’s deer population in our WMAs.

It's state land... they pay the same taxes you do we can all share the woods that we hold so near and dear to our hearts.

But if it's a WMA, then they aren't paying the same - we pay additional license and permit fees which is supposed to be going to acquiring and maintaining those lands. So, no, I don't want to share WMAs with dirt bikers and ATV riders that rip through the woods with no care in the world that they are disrupting and even destroying it.  I still can remember those kids on a WMA a couple years ago on ATVs tearing up through a mud hole doing donuts and then saying to each other after I tell them to leave because I was hunting, "Are you allowed to hunt here?" 

As for the video, at least that was just a quiet mountain bike and not a motorized dirt bike. I can't stand hearing that high-pitched engine noise ripping through the woods... I was in Wharton last week and OH surprise surprise I saw 2 dirt bike riders. I don't think I've been in Wharton a single time and not at least hear one dirt bike.

The video is from Illinois and that trail was clearly built for mountain biking.  We have no real context other than that.  State land?  Federal? Private, Municipal?  We have no idea.  Did he pay a use tax?  Again, we have no clue.

I agree if they stay on the state trails and stop making new trails all over state  land. If you go on Onx maps they actually register the trails. They have different names. As hunters if we cut a branch, we could get fined. Dont seem fair to me .

Illegal dirt bike riding is very different than legal bike riding

Correct cutting new unauthorized trails is BS and gives everyone a bad name and causes major erosion issues since they were probably poorly planned and built to begin with.

Check out allumuchy and stephens state parks mountain bikers out of control ruined a lot of real estate 

 

[jumpthestring]

I said before and i will say it again. the problem in NJ is we have too many people. on the  roads, stores, and now in the woods. we are sleep deprived and over caffeinated and that will stress people out.

[hammer4reel]

Just use the same trails l

To the best of my knowledge about 95 percent of stephens was approved by the park prior to building those trails. Alumuchy north is another story alot of those trails were built by Rouge trail builders. The jersey offroad bike association is heavily involved in maintaining both stephens and allamamuchy. Not so much deer park the trails would be a mess without their constant trail maintenance.

PS If you see a guy riding a bright blue full suspension bike and blue helmet with hunting gear on his back to get further into the woods that's me 😄
