ATVs and Snowmobile Responsibility

People who misuse ATVs and snowmobiles may disturb wildlife and damage roads, trails or the environment. Frequently, they also annoy or aggravate other people. Private landowners and public land managers respond by restricting access to all motorized travel.

Following the safety rules is important. Acting responsibly is equally important. If you use ATVs during your hunt:

• Know and follow all regulations & laws regarding the use of ATVs and snowmobiles while hunting.
• Take care of the landscape. Stay out of fragile areas, such as streams, wet meadows, extremely steep terrain and some desert soils.
• Stay on trails designated for motorized use.
• Don't chase or harass wildlife.
• Respect other hunters. Do not ride your ATV during prime hunting hours or in areas where other people are hunting.
• If you encounter other hunters on foot or with pack animals, yield the right of way. Pull to the side of the trail. Turn off your engine and allow them to pass.
• Keep your speed down to minimize dust and noise.
