Maybe they're riding at night when nobody's out there hunting.

Is that legal? I would never do such a thing

No, it is not legal. I have my doubts about the claim that you can legally ride there with a hunting license and a gun also.

prove me wrong. I've been told that for years. I may be one of those things that is open to interpretation by the land managers.
The Cannonsburg State Game Area is closed from September 15th - February 1st annually for small game hunting season. Please do not ride the trails during this time.

According to the trail guide:
I know what the trail guide says. I'm curious as to whether it's being closed because it always has been, or because there's a real need to keep people off the trails.
Yankee Springs comes to mind. It was closed for hunting until a few years ago when park management was convinced that there wouldn't be any conflict with cyclists during hunting season.
As far as who is banned at CSGA, i believe it's only bikes. However, if you decide to ride your bike into the game area for the purpose of hunting it's my understanding that THAT is perfectly legal.
here's an excerpt from the rules that I found on the DNR site:
3.4 Cannonsburg state game area, Kent county, prohibited conduct.
Order 3.4 A person shall not do any of the following on the Cannonsburg SGA being all or portions of sections 27, 29, 33, and 34, T8N R10W, and sections 3 and 4, T7N R10W, Kent county:
(1) Discharge or possess afield a centerfire rifle.
(2) Discharge a firearm in a designated parking area.
(3) Target, trap, or skeet shoot.
(4) Use skis from November 1 through the first Sunday following January 1.
(5) Enter the observation deck, walking, and parking area located in the SE? of the SE? of section 28, T8N R10W, from ? hour after sunset to ? hour before sunrise. This prohibition does not apply to department personnel or authorized construction company personnel performing official or department authorized duties.
(6) Operate a bicycle of any kind, from September 15 through January 31, on the area, including roads and trails, unless designated open to bicycle use.

Chill out. The MMBA doesn't decide what people can or cannot do. If the state regulation is clear, that's all that matters. I'd been told by a number of sportsmen that was the case. If it's wrong it's wrong.
