Was Pheasant hunting today in Higganum Meadows with two dogs this afternoon when a pair of horseback riders rode into the fields. I quickly tied the dogs up before they noticed the horses but once they did they went crazy. I didn't think they the horses were supposed to be in a WMA so I called TIP. I asked the guy on the phone if horses were allowed, he said NO. I told him that I have to leash the dogs until the horseback riders left the fields and he responded that I'm supposed to have the dogs on a lease in a WMA anyway. I then said, I'm hunting. Anyway he said that he would have ENCON visit the area if someone was in the area. I never got a call back. I just think it could lead to a dangerous situation for a dog, horse and rider being in a area stocked with pheasants during pheasant hunting season.
