The use of nails, screw-in steps, wire, etc. to attach a stand/blind to a tree is prohibited.
Cutting trees for shooting lanes, trails or bait sites is prohibited.
The use of trail cameras shall be authorized on the Lincoln County Forest providing they do not damage any vegetation or other county property.
Trails cameras must bear the owner/ operator’s full name, current address and phone number.
