Just an FYI Aetna is private land as well and TWRA is going to start citing folks soon. Unless you're a stock or close to stock and like gravel roads don't waste your time on Prentice either. They've been selling off Big Fork for years but when we were up there a couple months ago we didn't see a soul much less someone to write a ticket. I've called in people for tresspassing and hunting on my land and their fines were nowhere near a grand.

Big Fork is Private Land
I tried to use the excuse, we didn't know it was private land and the Sheriff looked at us and said, "We'll do you see any public land signs?" That pretty much ended my attempt at getting out.
Looks like we need to pull together and buy some land. Any ideas?

Went to Big Fork with some friends today and didn't see any signs much less a Sheriff. I find it a bit strange someone joins and their first post is about getting arrested in a local riding spot. Makingdust let's see some pics of your rig and where are you located or are you just a troll land owner that someone accidentally rode on? If you are actually a wheeler where were you when they cited you cause I don't know of many law enforcement vehicles that could make it in the spots we ride.

I don't like to call someone out just seems a bit suspect to me. Had someone on another forum asking about Aetna. Turns out they asked like 20 people and they worked for black creek.

I was in the neighborhood last week and rode down Big Fork Road. I did see a lot of "Posted" signs in the trees, but it also looked like there was a lot of recent tracks.
I smell a troll too, something's not right there.

I'm am very sorry to hear that and my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family but nothing I said warrants saying that you wish I would have disappeared too. Completely uncalled for but I will just forget about it this time cause I would imagine you have a lot on our plate right now. On a happier note very nice wrangler and old Cherokee I would be glad to go riding with you sometime

I thought I recognized the pics of the FSJ so I did a bit of research and they are from a post on pirate in 09 from a guy in NC. And you forgot one. Nice try but it's not Big Fork. I've ridden with this rig and it's nowhere near this nice now. Not trying to be a jerk just call them as I see them.
