Snowmobiles Illegal
On Game Lands
.Hunters are reminded that it
is illegal to drive snowmobiles
on State Game Lands, except
on roads open to public travel,
during the upcoming bear and
deer seasons.
With interest in snowmobiles
mushrooming and sales soaring,
some outdoorsmen may have en
tertained the thought that this
would be a means of crossing
State Game Lands in big game
seasons.
They are advised that to do so
is unlawful.
