My feelings about the reign and work and associations of some of these individuals aside, I don't have the strong judgement about this I might have otherwise had in the past. This might come off as me being an apologist, but I don't view access infractions in the same way I do say, poaching ones. Not even close.
There are good folks on here, who have
been cited with trespassing, that the majority (myself included) thought was performed by way of what should be legitimate access.
Someone I personally regard as great sportsman and person, as do a lot of folks on here,
recently smoked a bull on someone's private property in Wyoming.
I don't know the specifics of this geography, but in a general sense, someone using a road they feel is public and being challenged/cited otherwise in this State over the last 20 years, often doesn't say much about the character of the individuals involved as far as that specific act goes. And even then, I wonder that if someone hunts long enough, how likely it is for a mistake to be made, which doesn't absolve them of responsibility and consequences, but might inform our (small g) grace.
