Default RE: Question about ATV use in WY

pyclub1, I totaly understand what you are saying. I had a couple of hunting club membersthat would drive thier ATV's up the mountian before daybreakevery opening day of gun season. They would scare all the deer from thier beds and then wonder why the adjacent properts owners would see so many deer! I most likely won't even take it off the truck unless
A. it can get me closer to the area I want to walk into away from people.
B. be able to assist in gettinggame back to the truck.
C. help in emergency situations like truck breaking down in the middle of nowwhere or if an injury occurs and I need to get someone back in a hurry.
A couple of years ago I was hunting in the Adirondak's and shot a buck, not a huge buck but not that small either. I drug it to an old narrow road that was very small and washed out. I thenquartered it and carried back to the truck. It was a 2 mile walk and whenI reached the pickup 2 hours later Iwas exhusted! I can't even fathom what it would be like to shoot a 300 pound mulie and have to go say 5 miles through canyons and streams and draws!
