My experience has been that they are of no benefit when they scare game and irritate others. I know the feeling of having one pass you on a closed trail, and how they get abused in the back country. Like so many things, it boils down to the user, but it is also one of those things most frequently abused. ‘Tread lightly’ really isn’t in the ATV glossary of terms for out west on public land. Unfortunate, but the outlaws will ruin it for many, riders and non-riders alike.

they are great tools and fun to drive too… bad things about other ppl on here use them too…just decide not post anything. i hope im not a outlaw in traditional bowhunting communtyfor being a riding my at on privite land where i got permission and atv parks…but when i go deer hunting i walk and drag it out when i do kill something

It’s astounding, and sad, to me how quickly the ATV has come to be seen as “essential” for hunting. There are literally tons of people who can’t imagine going hunting without one anymore, where only a few decades ago, they would have had to walk or go on horseback.

Whether I personally agree with ATV use in the backcountry or not, I recognize that there are lots of responsible ATV users. But far too many aren’t – they are tearing the hell out of the backcountry and feel it is their God-given right to do so, and that any attempt to limit that is a sign of “oppressive government.” This is ludicrous – the attitude that one should be able to go wherever they want in the backcountry on a motorized vehicle, and tear the hell out of our public lands, is the height of juvenile, selfish, me-first mentality.

And don’t even get me started on when I hear these folks complaining that they’re not seeing any game….

True story: A few years back there were a couple FS roads near my house that were getting torn to hell by ATV’s, and had been for years. The FS announced that they were closing those roads to non-motorized traffic. There were still tons of other access roads in this mountain range for ATVs to use, but closing off these two resulted, literally, in multiple death threats against our local FS office.

Death threats?!? Simply because the FS was slightly limiting access, as a result of years of irresponsible ATV behavior? Because these folks have become that reliant on a mode of transportation they didn’t even have just a couple decades ago?!? Pathetic.

If you feel the same way, support BHA.

death threats!!!! why r ppl like that…stuff like let another reason to close pubic land. those r expensive to keep fix. and there are alot just atv parks and truck park just for riding, mudding, camping. and they keep up with trails. i still cant believe about the death threats….

when i go hunting i dont use my atv i walk. the way i look at it i dont want mess my hunt up. that way i think should be a land set aside just for atv riding. they have to buy tags every year. thats what illinois did. if they ride where there not post to be they should get tickets.

i dont know were to start and i hope this make sense i had along day work. in IL its illegal to ride a atv anywhere not unless u have a handle cap sticker u got to go toa doctor and get it like u do those crappy crossbows. if ur caught 700 dolars fine and they take ur atv most of the time. IL use not care i beleive in the early ninties they pass this laws that back when they logged out shawnee forest. they stop them both about the sametime.

i ppl still abuse it but state cut back on game warden ther 1 for to counties now? and when u seen these ppl riding where they are not post to be did u call the law if u didnt ur just as much to blame as they are!

im not real sure about that indain guy but u chop a gas tank tomahawk it might blow up and kill everyone alround…. pretty good debate… be safe

Wildschwein wrote: HEAVY ARROWS! Or at least that was my impression after shooting a Martin Stick with 400 grain carbon arrows. Never felt hand shock quite like that before. And it was only a 40 pound bow. Switched to a 550 ish grain aluminum arrow and most of the hand shock issues went away. If I owned a Stick I wouldn’t shoot nothing under 12 grains per pound.

i shot my buddies with a 500 grain arrow and it had real bad hand shock…. try put some good old beaver balls on the string or string leeches
