When you have 3 groups of Texans driving their atvs and shooting like crazy the evening before the opening near the hunting grounds, you can not expect successful harvest in the morning.[:@][:@]
I am thankful that in my area, the USFS does not allow ATV's off of the graded roads,
not even for game retrieval. Horsepower and human footpower, both pretty quiet, both minimal trace, both let others hunt pretty much undisturbed.
Shooting nearyour hunting area is like crapping the same place you eat. As a deterrent, I'd recommend thatyou either get up early and work your way a long ways back in or do a spike camp way back in, then I think you will find such foolishness much diminished.
