About 10 or 15 years ago I had a coworker that would go in there all winter long and get some nice stringers. The gate at dinkey wasn't locked,just closed. He would open it,go through and close it behind him.
He did that for years without being bothered,then one day a game warden came in and cited him for being in a closed area. He went to court and tried to fight it,but still payed a reduced fine because he gave the judge a sob story. He said the judge was sympathetic.
