[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 562655, member: 29174"] The "travel plan" has been in effect for a while. If you contact the forest service for the area you hunt they will send you the maps. I don't like the travel plan more for the camping rule and shutting off trails for trucks. This year we are going to have to move camp for the third year in a row because of the camping rule. The old camp that we had for 20 years and the camp after that is on the wrong side of the road ...you can camp on the other side. They are now logging and stacking logs on our last camp site so we are moving again. Some pretty major roads are now shut down to any travel. I live in South Dakota and the Black Hills National Forest was about the last National Forest to limit atv's There are atv roads all over and you can't even get near a campground because it is full of ATV'ers. The drive down the road and some don't have drivers licenses(too young) or vehicle licenses which are required here and many go wherever they want. One kid went off the road and over the fence(hooked the shoulder) in front of me while I was driving down the hiway...I picked him up and drove him to his campground following his Dad and Sister. The kid had barbwire cuts all over his chest and was going to the hospital but the kid was only about 12 and no way had a drivers license and none of the atv's had plates on them. This kid was leading the way about 40mph down a major hiway over 10 miles away from his camp with no plates or license and underage to drive! One time I went elk hunting where there were 200 elk on the one mountain in the unit on friday and on opening day there were idiots riding ATV's right through their bedding grounds holding loaded uncased rifles nowhere near a trail. Out of the 200 elk the night before there were 2 elk shot and 40 hunters on the mountain. There wer no roads on that mountain and all the few logging trails were shut off and had mounds of dirt and rocks to keep people out. I still came across one pickup driving around up there! [/QUOTE]
