Lance Report post Posted December 20, 2008 I ABSOLUTLY LOVE ATV'S AND THE RANGER'S and all those type of OHV's.!!! I own a quad, and sometimes I use it to get to the end of a rough road so I don't tear up my truck, and sometimes I use it to get downed animals out of the woods. I don't hunt off of it. And when I use it I follow all the rules and yes it is licenced. But what I really LOVE about ATV's and OHV's, Rinoes, Rangers and shuch is that.... Most people get in them or on them and then they don't get out or off of them ALL DAY LONG! Yes there is a constant vroom vroom up and down all the roads but it leaves all the woods and animals to me! And if all the vroom vroom up and down the roads bothers you then quit hunting by the road! Yes there are people that don't fallow the rules but they are the exception like in every other aspect of life, and the majority of people do obey the law. And like in every aspect of life, the many law abiders get to pay for the few law breakers So if the constant parrade of quads and OHV's bothers you, then you are likely a road hunter of some kind yourself. If people didn't have these ATV's then they would drive their trucks everywhere. This is not a new thing, they are just driving new things. There has always been the road hunter that has always gotten their vehicle to the end of the road. And there has always been the walking guy that would not drive his truck to the end of the road cause it was too rough, that is there to complain about the guy who drove to the end. Complain complain complain or just get off the road?! If someone is breaking the law then call them in! But if they are not breaking the law and they are just bothering you in some way. Then thats your fault for not planning on road hunters. Face it, Arizona (and other states) Has Roads and people will drive them! No big secret! And for those of you who are the Road Hunters, then God Bless You!!! Bless you all every one! And Merry Christmas to ya! I love Road Hunters and you just keep it up! You are doing an excelent job! You have made Arizona what it is and I love it! Everyone else QUIT COMPLAINING! You are passing laws that will force these type of hunters to get out of the cars and over-run your backwoods! I'm always in the woods, and have plenty of stories to go around about road hunters, and Bla bla bla.... But think about it. For instance. This season I was on a junior deer hunt with my boys and Jake. I noticed one of these Rinoes driving back and forth on all the roads in the valleys below. Thats awesome I thought! One less hunter in the woods. Latter that day in a diferent area we were not too far above a road. When that same guy pulled up down below and hiked up a nearby ridge. "Dang" I thought. "Wish he would stay in his Rino and just drive by". But we were hunting near a road so no big deal you got to expect that. Then I noticed he was carring his beer to the top of the ridge with him. Wow what a real winner of a guy. Gun in one hand and beer in the other being followed by a young boy. I felt bad for the boy of course, but did not feal safe in the woods with my family and that guy near by! We held still and couldn't wait tell he got back in his Rino and got out of there and back to his road hunting. Now I'm not saying all road hunters are encompitant and everyone else is. Heck, I cant even spell and can barely type! And there are some great road hunters out there that have it down to a science! What I'm saying is Quit complaining about road hunters and what ever they are driving. Your only hurting yourself by placing more restrictions on hunting! If your not a road hunter then just let them do their thing and if your smart you'll relize the backwoods are full of just you and animals! Lance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WFGinNM Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I have an ATV as well and only use it to save the beating my truck would normally get. Opening morning of the late November hunt we got to our glassing spot a couple hours before light hoping to get a nap before glassing light. Looking down towards the roads it was nothing but a parade of headlights, and when the sun came up the constant buzzing of people looking for volunteer deer. I was amazed at where some folks drive their trucks, just makes hunting deeper all that much better. --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redman Report post Posted December 22, 2008 Just stop worrying about everybody else unless there are breaking the law (and you can see them) and hunt and have fun! p.s. be safe Redman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thesteeleboy Report post Posted December 22, 2008 I agree wholeheartedly with lance. Unfortunately there are areas, especially here in Utah that people don't know when to stop. I cant count the times Ive climbed to the top of a ridge only too find four wheeler tracks or one parked there with its driver setting thirty feet from it watching for deer. Some people use them responsibly but their will always be those that abuse any right they have until its gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
