That hunting season stops at rodman on 1/23/04...Am i wrong??

Would'nt you think that there will be alot of hunter out on the 22nd? [/quote]

[SkyHighT100]

I think with over 100 quads being at the ride that the hunters will be a bit outnumbered, lol. I dont think it will be anything to be too concerned about, if you are truely worried about it.. where a bright tshirt Just watch out for piano wire and roofing nails, lol. I know myself and a bunch of others will be there, we could care less if its hunting season or not... its a free country and hunters have to share the land just as we do.

[big-daddy]

they hunt 2 month a year, we ride all year. they paid to hunt we ride for free, they have guns we have kids. what sounds wrong here? just what to have a good time.

Check this out, I think it will help ease your mind. If I'm not mistaken, general gun season is over the 9th.

i think it later then that

[big-daddy]

thanks guys; I called a ranger friend last night, General gun 11-3 to 1-9 and Small game opens 1-10 to 3-6 in Ocala. its better to be safe than sorry.

[Da_Mtg_Man]

Yep, I don't know why but Rodman is considered  "south district" and general gun is over on Jan 9th So ride on.

[Moose]

One thing to keep in mind, ONF is a ( Wildlife Management Area ) run by the FL. Fish & Wildlife Com. These areas sometimes have slightly different rules as the state general hunting rules, and they change them when ever they want, so you have to read their brochure every year to stay up on the changes.

[Ida_Mann]

I know there was some discussion about this earlier in the post, but can we get a definative answer on this from a ranger office? or two to be sure ;-)

Trust me I've been hunting there for years it always runs from the 2nd weekend in Nov. till the 2nd weekend in Jan. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]

[GreggT]

Just got back from India. (They have some great trails to ride, but I don't think we'll be doin a group ride there anytime soon). 170 quads on our next group ride? That's awesome! Can't wait to see everyone again.

It takes right at 4 hrs to get to Rodman from Pine Island  and Burnt Store Rd.
I'd plan on leaving at 3:30 just to be safe, That way you can stop in N Tampa and refill the coffee.

[Chris505]

whew that is going to be a long day,, especially if your driving home the same day....
