    Re: Sikkani chief bison draw help

    I am also wondering about access in to the 7-42 C zone. Our draw is mid October and we have quads but I know we can only stay on the designated trails and the trails don't go into the C zone. Snow mobiles are exempt from ATV trail rules I understand? Is there usually enough snow in October for snow mobiles? Any rules on dirt bikes? We are not experienced horsemen so trying to avoid that route. Covering that much ground and packing out those massive animals on foot would be quite the task...

    PS. I am bitter that you got a draw and I didn’t, but I will be over it by Oct 3rd
    LOL sounds good. Haven't nailed down a plan for camp location. Airstrip is option one but we have a few other factors to consider still.

    The rule is for all motorized vehicles except for snowmobiles....there has never been enough snow in October that I have ever seen.

    Incorrect. You DO have to follow all other motor vehicle restrictions from April 16 to Oct. 31 though, IE, stay on the designated trails or within the specified distance.

    Section 2, subsections 3 to 5 apply to all motor vehicles, including snowmobiles.

    You can use a snow machine on the designated routes I suppose if you want snow or no snow, but outside of the designated routes:

    (2)
    Despite subsection (1), a person does not commit an offence if he or she uses or operates a snowmobile weighing less than 500 kg within the management area during the period November 1 to April 15.
