Wyoming private roads ….

[Fire_9]

Must be a slow learner. How many of these instances did you have in Wy?

I seriously thought the OP must be joking or was some kind of bot.

It's a P-R-I-V-A-T-E road. Rip's probably out there b/c the deep end of the gene pool keeps trespassing on his PRIVATE property.
Try trespassing through my front door on Saturday morning and see how that ends for you.

For perspective, wasnt long ago when more of those roads were open. Can you imagine how mad you might be then?

Between bad behavior from culturally ignorant, big dollars, and the thirst thats grown to hunt in the west - more and more are closing.

Im so glad those NRs "subsidize" resident access .

private roads are private, unless of course a private landowner just put up a no trespass sign to fool you into thinking it's private. Wyoming could solve this problem pretty easy with a official sign on the roads, but nope, they really like to keep outsiders guessing.

Kind of on the subject, it is endlessly annoying to try and decipher if someone's private inholding on public lands has closed off the public access or not. There have been more than a few times where I've come up to a road that is still labeled as open on Google/OnX (and still looks open on sat view), but was very much gated/posted/painted orange when I got there. Sometimes it's easy to tell because the historic road now runs through what is clearly a barn or a front yard, and the issue has gotten better with time, but it's still pretty common.

I drove by 2 different ranchers in Utah this year where they had put signs on the gate to keep people out. They even painted their gates to dissuade people. I just waived at both and they both sneered and scowled at me. My wife said " I think we better park the sxs where we can see if from where we are glassing..." lol

I know and get it that private is private. However, SOME landowners have gotten WAAAAY out of hand with efforts and tactics to try to keep people off of our public lands and the states arnt doing much of anything to stop the madness. Then, wonder why things explode on the ground between the public and private.

Its a shame because I would love to stop and chat with some of the landowners but I'm not stopping to talk to someone who is visibly pissed and wont even bother waiving.

There's generally signs on the road, atleast in my little corner of the world.

IMO for the most part outdoorsman are looking to do the right thing. More often than not it can be a challenge to sort out what roads are private and which are not.

Start a campaign for us all to work on 360 degree relationship respect. IE. the hunter, hiker, fisherman, rancher farmer etc are all working towards clear communication so there is no guessing. There is no reason for people to be going off on one another and that type of behavior/bullying should not be tolerated!

Better signage equals better communication from private, to state, blm etc there should be absolutely zero question what is what. Then if people tresspass hit them hard with a fine, if people don't have their signs (one's that are up to date) in the right place then hit them hard with a fine. And so on and so on.

This just isn't rocket science...unless we choose to make it such eh..
