The Council a year or so ago increased the penalties for that sort of activity in hopes of preventing it on the far end of Spillway Road.
      With this said ^^^^ we might note that the GOAL is to get TBR back to its natural state (and beauty) and NOT further abuse the land by tearing it up. Is this not one of the reasons we spend so much time in the outdoors?

      A suggestion to those that want to tear the place up might be ......go tear up YOUR own land or the roads on YOUR ranch.

            Those roads usually dry out within a day or two anyways when it rains, but for us duckhunters it will be basically impossible to hunt if we can't drive in there on a rainy morning unless we want to hunt the EQ, which from what I understand is illegal now.

            I'm no spring chicken, but I'm not sure any of us could throw on some waders and haul all the crap us waterfowlers think we need that far...

                  Its already been explained a couple times here WHY the gates to certain areas are closed when roads are muddy. If you think that its unfair to duck hunters only (and not the rest of us) go to a council meeting and state your concerns......its your right, but your arent respecting the reason why the policy exists. Its there to manage the condition of the land which EVERYONE clwarly understands is in sad shape. So if the gates are closed during inclimate weather. So be it. Its whats best for EVERYONE, NOT JUST A SELECT GROUP. Do yoi really think anyone else besides duckhunters are going to enjoy walking in? I know I ll never be able to get to my spots when it rains but that goes for whether the gates are open or not.

                      State Park is an awsome place to hunt. Especially areas 6&7. Theres hogs in there now. Seen the trail cam pics. Only bummer is their messed up dates amd short season there.

                        If the gates were closed then you couldn't even get a boat in there anyways, I imagine the roads theyre wanting to keep in good condition are the main ones that lead to the boat ramps.

                        If we run into this problem then we ought to at least be thankful for the rain!
