Pineville OR

"I spend a considerable amount of time hiking and hunting on state and national forest lands in and around central Oregon. On numerous occassions, particularly around major Holiday weekends such as the 4th of July and Labor day, I encounter ATV's riding off approved roads. Some times they are miles away from the nearest road randomly riding through the forest. Its fairly common to find the tracks and trails they've left behind. Three times over the last two years I have reported specific instances to the local BLM and forest service office. I asked for follow-up and volunteered my time and materials to post signs, install gates, etc. No one from either office has ever followed up or returned my calls when I left messages. As someone who likes the quiet and solitude of the outdoors, I believe irresponsible ATV off-road use is seriously jeopardizing this experience as well as having a negative impact on the wildlife and plant life in these areas."

"Nevada Sheriffs' and Chiefs' Association worked closely with the Nevada OHV community to develop our current law and we believe that when fully implemented it will be very helpful in dealing with the problems of theft of OHVs and it will go a long way in identifying those who participate in destructive acts on or off public lands."
