A Few words on the Use of ATV’s and Snowmobiles to get outdoors

Elk archery eason is wrapping up throughout the Western mountain states and the rise of ATV’s coming into the states will be increasing over the next couple of months and then the snowmobiles will be brought in to help bring the rifle hunters onto public lands and help hunters get to where the game is.  As well, Fall and Winter are amazing times for ATV riders and especially snowmobiles taking people amazing winter wonderlands.

When I worked as a guide the week before rifle season and the first two weeks of rifle season we would see a massive increase in the use of ATV’s and in fact at times we used them as well as a part of our operation. I personally would use them to get to a jumping off point and then hike into locations that would put us way out on points that any amount of road traffic would push elk and deer past our location. So I am certainly not going to ever badmouth the use of ATV’s and snowmobiles as effective tools in the arsenal of hunters.  As I get older, I am quite sure I will be using them more and more to get to locations where I do not have access to horses or I need to cover a whole lot of ground like the desert terrain in Arizona or Nevada.
