You are probable dealing with 4 wheelers. Illegal hunters like to use my dad's property (400 acres) near a nice river on the mountain. They gain main entrance up a creek bed, so dad put him several boards submerged in the shallow waters with big nails in it. After replacing their wheels a few times, the 4 wheelers finally got the idea. But dad would never put a wire/ect across the path, too dangerous/deadly.
No. I keep saying this and no one on this forum believes me. I am dealing with large street bikes that have smooth road tires on them. I can count the wheels, and there are only two per bike!
Fortunately during a recent storm a big tree fell across the access path and I haven't had any trouble since. No bike can go over or around this.
