We are launching a new practice to improve driving safety around logging operations.  You may begin to encounter these signs on your lease, and here’s what you need to know.

WHY STOP?  This is a busy job site with log trucks, moving equipment, and workers

What steps should I take?

• STOP
• Be patient
• Do not proceed until operator waves you through
• Maintain a slow speed; use headlights
• Use alternate route if one exists

Guidance around Active Operations

• Always yield the right-of-way to logging trucks whether in a vehicle or an ATV.
• When on the ground (outside vehicles), do not enter within the 300 foot buffer to hunt.  Do not discharge a firearm into the 300-foot buffer.
• Never touch or climb onto any forestry equipment.
• Keep an eye out for machines entering the roadway.
• Always stay at least 100′ away from log piles and parked / loaded trailers.
• While logging activity is ongoing, all club members and guests must wear high visibility clothing whenever outside an enclosed vehicle.

Inside gate 21 we are losing 100 acres because the land owner will be clearing the woods and then graveling it. I will post a map on the site of the affected area. If you have a stand in that area you will need to remove it. Horrible news but beyond our control. More to come.

Land inside of gate 21. We are loosing land. Please remove stands.
