Might have to start a new thread on this. But I was fortunate enough this year to hunt Elk in 3 different states. Utah, Oregon and Arizona, in that order. Seems like UT and AZ you can drive your quad/side by side almost anywhere you want. While in OR, it is only on main forest roads and all the side roads off of it, are closed off to motorized vehicle, majority of the time.
So not sure some of these UT and AZ boys know what putting miles on the boots and packing out really means.
I could be wrong, but I’m just going off what I’ve seen this year.
I just wish all the ATV and Side by Side drivers would follow the rules... far too many times I've been a mile from a road and some a-hole in an ATV or side by side comes driving over to look over the canyon because he's too damned lazy to walk over and hunt.... and it seems they also have the gall to ask "seen anything" like I'm feeling generous enough to give them any information after they ruined my day's hunt....
