[QUOTE="Nsghunter, post: 4945563, member: 14436"] I would say you will do fine. I will cover a few basics. Standard parking etiquette would be; don't block gates, roads, field access, or other hunter's vehicles (We have all seen it all), if you park on the side of main roads, take all four tires off the road and leave three feet to open your door, if you park on the side of a trail, field or whatever just make sure not to block a field or trail entry footpath (I've had guys park so close to the footpath you about had to climb over their truck to get past.) You can typically park on the side of the main roads and trails, I've never had a problem. WHile on public land watch for signs at the entrance to trails and roads or paths. The signs will say foot traffic only, or no motorized traffic, they are usually on the trees about 6-8 feet up and can be seen from the trail or road. Park out of the way of gates and park sensibly, you know, don't tear up heck getting in and most of the time this is acceptable. Every now and then, you might break a rule and the warden might say something but if you aren't a complete jerk he will probably give you a warning. I recently was pulled over and after a few minutes of discussion, the office said to me "We aren't trying to get anyone in trouble. We just want o keep everyone safe and make sure they are doing the right thing." I believe most of the wardens and the area managers are nice guys. It's always a safe bet to call the area manager and speak with them too. I have spoke with four area mangers this season already regarding access, preferences, recent changes and tips for how to hunt their specific area... They all answered my questions and were very nice. I've met two wardens this year already, same story. [/QUOTE]
