Hey All,
As I’ve shared earlier, I am heading out to Wyoming (Region C) to chase deer. I have spent hours on locating some good looking areas and understanding the access issues common with that area.
However, I am still needing to clarify how the roads and trails on BLM and state land work. How I understand it, if there is a BLM road that connects to a public road and does NOT cross through private, then I am legal to drive on that road. Is this correct?
What are the rules for gas/oil roads? If they connect to public roads and stay on BLM the entire time, can I assume it is legal to drive on them?
I ordered 7 BLM maps for the area and the newest one is from 2013 and the oldest is from 2008. I can tell from OnX and the various mapping software that there are many different and additional roads than on the old BLM maps. Almost all going to some extraction sight.
Just wanting to make sure I’m legal and planning on exactly where the roads end for my hunting. I don’t want to hike back 5 miles only to have someone drive down an extraction road and park 500 yards away.
