This last weekend my friend and I packed in about 5 miles and hunted from a spike camp for elk. The first day we were in elk all day. The next day we hiked over a big ridge above camp to hunt a good looking basin, as we got to the top and started glassing I hear the distinct sound of a motorcycle. I look over at the next ridge and 2 guys are ripping up the trail that closed 3 weeks ago to motorized. One of the reasons we chose this area was because of the motorized restrictions, and potentially less pressure. I am not against using motorized vehicles to access country at all- I own a few myself and use them often but this seemed to really spook the elk. The next few days the area just seemed dead as the trail that the guys were on runs along the top of a ridge for several miles and I would imagine spooked every animal within miles. Anybody else run into this sort of problem?
