Weyerhaeuser has planted pine seedlings in the area around gate 11 & 12 off of Barton Ferry Rd. DO NOT PULL UP OR MOW THESE SEEDLINGS!

See map below.

Seedlings planted in February or March may be hidden in tall grass and may not be easy to see until this fall. Everyone should avoid driving, disking, cutting, or otherwise disturbing planted seedlings on all sites.

Shooting lanes cannot be established in planted stands. Doing so could damage planted seedlings. If damage is identified on your lease, your club may be responsible for the cost of damages and/or subject to lease termination.  DO NOT PULL UP OR MOW THESE SEEDLINGS!

Many clubs use old logging decks as food plots. However, once the surrounding area is clearcut, the logging deck may be planted with pine seedlings. If you want to reestablish a logging deck as a food plot, it must be enrolled in the food plot rental program.

5 Alive Initiative

As promised, below is the first safety poster from our new 5 Alive Safety initiative.  It is our hope that you will read, commit to and share its message regarding safety while driving and riding.  If poster is not showing, you may have to right click to download the image.

Hazards come in many forms when driving to, from and within your lease.  Most people understand the common hazards associated with everyday driving.  However, when transitioning to off-highway, regardless of vehicle type, additional factors must be considered to ensure that we do not overlook different hazards.

ATVs and UTVs are essential tools for hunting and navigating your lease effectively. While these vehicles come with numerous safety features, it is absolutely critical to adhere to the established guidelines.

The data from 2023 reveals a troubling reality: a staggering number of off-highway vehicle accidents led to fatalities, particularly among children aged 15 and younger. This statistic highlights the urgent need for heightened awareness and responsibility.

As we move into the new year, it is imperative that we make our hunting trips memorable for all the right reasons, rather than for tragic incidents. We must prioritize safety to prevent off-highway vehicle tragedies, especially concerning our young riders. Responsible riding is non-negotiable. This includes staying sober, maintaining a speed appropriate for conditions, and wearing protective gear at all times. Together, let’s commit to making every outing a safe and enjoyable experience!
