antelope unit 031 nevada

[sourkraut]

Wow! I just returned from N. Nevada where my son had an antelope tag. I knew the unit so I acted as guide, skinner, cook, etc. I drew the tag last year and could'nt believe two fellows on atv's flying over the country trying to locate antelope, jumping off, shooting, jumping on trying to outrun them once again. I stood there with my jaw hanging down in disbelief. I thought to myself. what a couple of turkeys, but since their was only two and I never saw them again, I relaxed and continued my hunt. On the third day I took a very nice 15 1/2" buck. Opening day this year there were atv's once again, only this time everywhere. They left tire tracks on each hill, knoll, and mountain. To the best of my knowledge they were'nt successful in their pursuit, never the less, left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I and my son each had an atv and they are wonderfull machines when used properly, saving gas, tires and wear and tear on full sized rigs. That said, in my estamation, those fellows were totally out of line and were ruining the hunt for others. It won't be long before no one will be able to use atv's. My son took a good buck hiking right from camp. Sourkraut

I agree with you, too much overuse of atv's. Congrat's on your son's harvest.
