[QUOTE="Deleted member 115374, post: 1995186"] I live in Mt. A few yrs. ago, I took my son back to one of our favorite "roadless wildlife mgt. areas" on public land. We had hunted this area the 2 previous seasons, we were hunting for mule deer and there was another father and daughter from Mt. that had hunted it as well. Motorized vehicle travel was prohibited except for the main access rd into the area. When we arrived at our camping spot we found 4 wall tents, 6 vehicles with flatbed trailers to haul their ATVs and at least a dozen ATVs that were still in camp. There were 5 mule deer bucks ranging from 2 pts to 4 pts caped out with skulls still on them lined up laying with their noses no more than a foot off the road. The eyes were sunken in, they had obviously been there for days in the 60-70 degree temperatures in the sunshine-no shade. License plates were 3 from Texas, 2 from California and 1 from Wisconsin. We drove past the camp about 3 mi, decided to split up and take a walk. We repeated that scenario 3 times throughout the day, Every ridge, drainage and draw had ATV trails that these guys had made that year. We were so disgusted and saddened by it we didn't even unload our gear or set up camp. Instead we drove home and haven't been back since. [/QUOTE]
