I'm sure glad to hear someone talking like this. ATV's are making most of our hunters lazy and out of touch with while they are in the mountains. There are some that use them responsible by driving up to a area and getting off and walking. But for the most part they just cruz around all day and scare the game away.
This last hunting season I had to set my client down for awhile so I could go chase down three men that drove their atv's in a non-motorized area. Well they ended up being the same guys I got busted three years prior for the same offense. Let me tell ya it wasn't a nice conversation we had. But the forest service is pushing fines on them I just wish the forest service would take the atv's of the violaters. You poach a elk you lose you gun, lisence, and maybe your vehicle. So why not take the atv of the irresponsible people using them.
