F&G WILL follow the tracks in the snow, you don't have to have "concrete" proof to make a report. It's folks like that who ruin landowner access for the rest of us. Good luck!

Try marking a trail, with signs - and stakes and ropes if you need to. Put out some "no snowmobiling" signs outside the marked trail. It is hard to resist going crazy a large field of fresh snow, but with guidance, most will resist.

Post a picture of their registration sticker and I will deny them service of beer or bread pudding.

The local snowmobile club who maintains the local trails may be able to help you out as well. It wouldn't hurt to contact them and get their opinion.

the trail is already well marked with signs and grade stakes. the club comes out and signs it every fall. everyone else who rides this part of the trail (and there's a LOT) seems to be able to follow the rules. these people just think they own the whole area and can do whatever they want and go wherever they please. my own property included. not gonna happen anymore. i emailed f&g, we'll see what they have to say.

The reason I say to contact the local club is they may and most likely do have direct contact and access to someone in F&G who can solve the problem immediately as opposed to taking the bureaucratic trail on your own...

Good luck!

Call Fish and Game. We had a trespasser on a sled ride across a 1/2 mile of paved walkway and up several steps and into our gazebo. Once in the gazebo, he new "he was off the trail" I called Meredith police, took them to the house of the culprit (easy to find as trails were not open and they were the only tracks)

Police didn't want to get involved. They don't care about trespassing and they don't care about illegal riding.

Fish and Game is the only solution.

thanks for the suggestions guys. i got a response from f&g, nothing other than letting me know that my email was forwarded to the co that covers the area.

I think you just posted on SledNH as well. Hopefully they can lead you to the correct people to talk to from the club.
