If someone comes to our place and just asks nicely
about obtaining permission to ride through our place it is greatly appreciated .
Also mentioning that you will leave gates as you find them is a big thing with
us anyway , we have had fisherman open gates and then just drop them to then
have the livestock tangle up in them and getting wire cuts . You would not
believe the number of people that just assume they can ride or fish anywhere at
anytime without permission . We have never turned anyone down that wanted to
come through our place but have threatened many trespass charges to people that
come in without asking . After all it is common courtesy and maybe the land
owner will have conditions to use the access as we did , we had sheep and
livestock guard dogs so no dogs were permitted on our place .
