It is another symptom of todays culture. Everybody is mememe and few people stop to think of the impact their actions will have on others. Lack of respect for the rights and opportunities of others.

Things are definitely different these days.
15 years ago I used to park at the end of this closed logging road before first light. If I was the first one there I would have the road to myself to walk out and hunt. Other folks would keep on going and find a new spot.
I went and hunted that road again last year. I got there an hour before first light and was sitting there waiting, about to get out of the truck. One truck pulled in and parked behind me and then another. So I grabbed me gear and headed out the road. When I got back to my truck at the end of the day after hunting at the end of the road there were 10 trucks parked behind mine and I had run into every one of those guys hunting out on that road.

Two years ago I had hiked 4 hours in the dark up a drainage with no trail to be in position at first light to glass the basin at the top.
Well the sun came up and just at first light I started hearing shots, some yahoo had ridden in from the top on a horse and was walking the top of the ridge shooting down into the basin at rocks. He must have shot up a whole box of shells in the next two hours. When I finally caught up to the guy and asked him what the ____ he was doing I was pretty mad. It was a long walk back out of there.

Two years ago I was bear hunting and a couple younger guys asked if I had seen any cow elk. I had so I showed them exactly where they would see elk if they sat and waited in the evening, I also told them exactly where I would be hunting bears the next morning figuring they would honor my area.
The next morning I see them hiking up the hill into the area I told them to wait to hunt in the evening and sure as heck two hours later here they come walking right down through the canyon I was glassing for bears in.

I' m sure everybody on here has stories just like these and worse.

The atv' s are not the problem it is just another area where lack of respect for other people rights and opportunities is causing problems.
