Suddenly, you could drive you truck to where guys on quads used to end their journeys. It made guys even more brazen (us included) and changed the nature of the country, how we hunted it, and how it felt to hunt it. We still had our share of success, but the experience had been diluted.
As I have matured I have come to realize that ATV's have a way of making country more accessible while making wilderness less accessible.
How much wilderness is enough? I don't know, but I do know that I have seen enough activity in our backyard to make me think that additional protections are not necessarily a bad idea. Apparently you do not share my concerns.

So you want wilderness with motorized vehicle restrictions? Not being a dick, but do you have a clue how much area is already restricted to motorized vehicle use in Alberta??
