Bob, much the same thing is the case here in BC and those roads legally open to motor vehicle use in hunting season are usually "dragstrips", especially on early season weekends and the long weekends of "Thanksgiving" and "Remembrance Day".

What I do and have for quite some years, is to just climb the ridges above some of these roads, SLOWLY, at my age and rather "gimped" condition. If, one can get up there and just WATCH, deer.etc. are often seen moving away from the "Hunter's Motor Brigade" and some good chances for shots can/do happen.

This, actually, is probably THE most productive method of hunting Elk, WT Deer and Mulies for older guys in much of BC and one DOES NOT NEED to wear all the $$$$ camo-G/T-stretchy clothing and matching pack, gaiters, hankies and even "gonch" that those "real"hunters in 4x4s and on ATVs always seem to wear...... wink
