Unfortunately, you can' t legislate common sense. The result is legislation and /or wholesale restriction that ruins the opportunity for less mobile hunters to still be able to hunt and access areas that are semi remote. I don' t agree that an ATV and a truck are the same critter. I have both and I could easily take the ATV off road where no truck could go if I so desired. I seldom use my ATV for elk hunting just because of the nature of the animal and the terrain they inhabit. It' s simply not practical or smart to ride an ATV into good elk country. Elk will tolerate horses to some degree, but they don' t seem to hold a high regard for ATV' s. There are some however that don' t share the ethics of many on this board and will ride to get as close as possible to get into thier hunting area, and some that won' t even get off the darn thing. It once again boils down to the old saying...Common Sense is not all that Common!!!
