Default RE: Question about ATV use in WY

I would talk with blm for sure. If you get caught off road, it is a min 280.00 fine and up to 5,000.00 ,depending on the judges decision and it is a misdimeanor. State authorities have no jurisdiction over blm lands so the ticket will have to come from a ranger. But the fish cop can blow the wistle on you. We had a mocho fish and game cop running around trying to enforce blm laws with several antelope hunters this year. He didn't get very far with his enforcing. To show you how critical he was, he was harassing a fellow hunter for pulling 10 feet off the road and covering his atv before walking to his waterhole. Give me a break. What was he supposed to do, leave his bike in the road????? I am with others here on ATV use. I use it to get to my antelope area across the rocky desert, and will use it to haul bear bait. Other than that, it sits in the garage...Kudos to the starting post, you are doing your homework!!!
