Crow Wing County - Ditch Riding Ban


Dave

Recommended Posts

I know a lot of you recreate up in this area. It would be good, FOR YOU, to attend, make some phone calls and write a few letters/emails.

The Crow Wing County Board of Commissioners is hosting two

public informational meetings regarding the proposed

ordinance to BAN the use of ATVs in County Road

Right-of-Ways (ditch use) in Crow Wing County.

If you ride in these areas and want to continue to ride in

these areas it is CRITICAL that you attend these meetings.

If you cannot attend then PLEASE send in written comments

to the commissioners and highway department (contact

information below). The commissioners need to hear from

the ATV riders; how it affects you and the business’s in

this county.

Yeah, i have land in Crow Wing and this is the 1st time i have heard about it, it seems that the politics like to have these meetings with little to none citizen participation, it is good that some people let the public know. Why are they going to ban ditch riding in just that county, or is it just in the city limits or the whole county, it doesnt seem like that will ever pass, but i am going to make a point to send them a letter, because i am going to buy a new ATV smile.gif.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
