"Several years ago and buddy of mine and I were hunting the Desolation Wilderness area, archery hunting for elk. We walked in about 2 miles below our camp off the main road. We got a bull to answer our calls and proceeded to move in on him. After about 5 minutes of calling he shut up. Needless to say we were suprised because he was fired up big time. Shortly after, we heard what we thought may have been an ATV. We thought, "no way". Sure enough, he/she (?) road right past us on an old narrow skid road/trail. We were disgusted to say the least. We walked the trail out and saw where someone had been clearing a trail off the main road a ways. Anyway, we stopped hunting shortly after that experience."

“We’ve had success bringing illegal riders to justice by snapping photos of their ID stickers. The problem in California is that they’re too darn small to see from far away or at high speeds. While I’m normally not in favor of the government getting involved in things, requiring all ORVs to have a visible ID with a minimum size and standard location would make them an even better tool for property owners to identify trespassing riders. We should also look to Wyoming’s lead and make trespassing penalties clear so riders think twice before they head off designated trails and onto my land.”
