LAST EDITED ON Mar-21-07 AT 10:19PM (MST)[p]Nah...its just ATV's I want gone. Alright, and snowmobilers in big game wintering areas too, but that's all. And I wish I did work for the Forest Service or BLM so I could have more influence over this decision.
I love getting away from the computer as much as anyone...I just hate running into ATV abuse nearly every time I choose to hit the hills.
Honestly though, I don't expect for ATV's to ever be eliminated from the woods out West, but if it was my choice it would have happened long ago.
If 100,000 people wanted to take their brand new chain saws up into the hills and cut down a big tree just because it is fun would the Forest Service be obligated to let them all? This is the reason given for not prohibiting ATV's, and it is ridiculous. I have been told on numerous occasions by FS persons that the FS realizes how destructive the wheelers are, but they cannot stand up to them because of how many people want to ride. I say get a spine and if you really do realize how bad it is, just end it. Enough already.
