>This is an excellent post to the list made in June of this year by Mark

>Land and Meteor Crater Ranch land. The Meteor Crater Security people, the
>Game Warden who lives to the west of the crater and the people at Meteor
>Crater Ranch are all sternly opposed to meteorite hunting on any of this
>property, private, State Trust or Barringer Property and will report you to
>the Coconino County Sheriff for arrest. This is a fact! There are safer,

>Franconia where H and LL finds are still being made or Gold Basin which

>>Hello all,
>>
>>The comments below and not from me, but it came from a very good source,
>>that has spent years hunting in and around Arizona. Name is withheld at
>>request.
>>
>>Perhaps it is Federal Land that allows for the removing of some minerals?
>>I remember reading permit notice that allowed for removing of petrified
>>wood and as I noted before, "non-renewable" minerals. Obviously, one
>>could not take meteorites from Federal land....but perhaps impactite and
>>other like items.
>>
>>Clear Skies,
>>Mark Bostick

>>
>> As you know all the land around the crater is either private or state
>>land. All Arizona State land is State Trust Land even if there is not sign
>>stating it is. Many popular places for people to get on the land there are
>>signs so stating it is State Trust Land, but more is not marked. If you
>>get on the internet and bring up Arizona State Laws and go ot Title 12,
>>Chapter 5 and R12-5-533 'Trespass on State Land' you will read about the
>>laws about trepassing on State Land. Besides having a hunting or fishing
>>permit allowing you to go on state land for those purposes a person can
>>buy a recreational permit for about $20 per year. I am going to type below
>>some of what the permit says.
>>
>> Examples of permitted recreational activities allowed on State Land:
>>hiking, horseback riding,picnics, family reunions, bicycling,
>>photographing, sightseeing, birdwatching, organized club event, etc.
>>Camping is restricted to no more than 5 days.
>>
>> Examples of activities NOT ALLOWED under the state permit on State
>>land: off-highway vehicle use, rallies, races or cross-country
>>travel(including 3 wheeled or similar type vehicles, motorcycles, sand
>>rails, go-carts, dune buggies, all terrain vehicles etc.). Target shooting
>>(firearm, archery, etc.), paint ball games, fireworks, non-recreational or
>>extended camping, commercial recreational activities or events where a
>>participation fee is charged (i.e. hot air balloon rides, jeep tours,
>>hayrides, horseback rides, bicycle races, horse races, ultralight
>>aircraft, etc.) and tours or other activities involving visitation of
>>prehistoric or historic archaeological sites.METAL DETECTORS TO SEARCH FOR
>>ARTIFACTS, RELICS, OR TREASURES ON STATE LAND OR AROUND PREHISTORIC,
>>HISTORIC, ARCHAELOLOGICAL, OR CULTURAL SITES ON STATE LAND IS PROHIBITED.
>>
>>THIS PERMIT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE COLLECTION OR REMOVAL ANY ANY NATURAL
>>PRODUCTS FROM STATE LAND INCLUDING ROCKS, FOSSILS, MINERAL SPECIMENT,
>>STONE, SOIL, FIREWOOD, CACTI, SAGUARO OR CHOLLA SKELETONS OR OTHER PLANTS
>>OR PLANT MATERIAL, EITHER DEAD ALIVE OR DEAD.
>>
>>I believe those parts I put in caps really explains the reason that the
>>state can keep someone from hunting around the crater since one will not
>>get the permission from the private land owners either.
>>
>>I hope the above clears up some of the questions being asked about hunting
>>around the crater.
