6. I have never had issues using an ATV on established roads before. You can not take any vehicle off established roads on state to retrieve game . You traveled on one of our best “established “ roads on state land. I hate that road, it has cost me a few tires.

Our state lands can be complicated but it also offers some pretty good opportunities if a person works at it.
