Thanks for the reply guys, good fodder for me. Several years ago I was hunting up in Washington and it was deer season. I didn't have my horses then and I looked for a place that was non-motorized so I could hike in and get away from the road hunters. It was late in the season and the deer were starting to migrate and I found a place that had some good trails developing. I needed to get back in a ways and figured it would take an hour of hiking. So I got up really early got to the trailhead and started hiking well before daylight. I got to the place just as it was starting to get light and I could actually hear the deer moving down the trail. I was excited. Anticipation was killing me. Then. off in the distance I could hear a noise, was it an airplane, a truck coming up the valley from far below? As I sat there it finally dawned on me that a ATV or motorcycle was coming up the trail. It was like a race, would I see my buck before these @#$%%^^&**))*&^%$##s got to where I was. O.K. forget I worked for the Forest Service I was pissed. Here they came, two guys on a motorcycle. Well I forgot I worked for the Forest Service and I jumped out in front of them with my gun ready. I cut loose. I can't remember exactly what I said but it wasn't pleasant. I pretty much told them if they didn't get there A$$es down the trail they would pay. I guess I convinced em because I didn't see em again. They totally ruined my hunt. What really gets me is that we had hundreds of miles of roads and trails they could have been on legally and they came up the one that was posted as closed. This is why land managers take peoples priveledges away. It's unfortunate that just a few can do so much to screw it up for everybody else.

Now before anybody gets excited as in my other thread I'll say the only reason I don't own a ATV or motercycle is that I can't afford one with my hayburners. I use too when I was younger and it was fun. They are a legal and fun way to recreate on the Forest and I'm totally for the multiple use philosophy the Forest Service has. I hope I can build more OHV trails.
