manboy - I think you need to know the laws in other states before you go babbling off on how other people hunt!!! There is not sarcasm there, I am speaking seriously.

In Nevada, there are no laws regarding the use of ATV's, except in obvious areas such as Wilderness Areas and WSA's.

As I stated before, I do not use ATV's. I don't use horses either. I would probably use a horse before an ATV if I had the opportunity, and all other things being equal.

HOWEVER - it is legal to use an ATV to retrieve game. I see no problem with it. The problem I see is when people abuse the use of ATV's and just tear stuff up because the are total (words that are not appropriate in this forum).

And yes, that would be good advice for someone to wait until they could get some other form of experience under their belt before embarking on a drop off hunt. He said the experience of quartering and cutting elk, not necessarily doing it in the field.

Grow up and quit trying to start an argument out of every word someone types!
