Using an ATV to go wherever it is legal for a truck to go is one thing, but funny how they so seldom seem to stay "inbounds" like they are supposed to. For those that do then "kudos to you" however unfortunately your brotheren just don't behave and that is the facts....

It is always a nice rationalization that if:

** (1) "I'm going to drive to point X (beyond the road and trail system) and then walk Y distance further to MYYYY hunting spot” so therefore it is okay…..

OR

** (2) “I’m only going to leave the road/trail [two track] to go get MYYYY downed animal so therefore it is okay….”

Both ignore the real possibility that while you are going to YOURRRR destination that you are crossing others current hunting set ups with a noise pollution that will scare the bejesus out of any worthwhile game in advance of your arrival and in your wake…. Right thru the midst of someone else’s hunting set up --- screw them, I’m on the way to executing MYYYY hunting plans.

Hunters on horses (natures quiet and fast “machines”) or on foot (get up and leave earlier) can achieve the same result without ruining it for others (knowingly or unknowingly).

Now on private land, it is a whole different story, you control the rights of who is on that land and your right to infringe on their hunting set ups, not so on public lands.
