Just wanted to see what others thoughts are on this. I've been doing lots of map recon for the unit I'd like to hunt elk in and have been going there on the weekends to scout out the terrain. My question is: How much does finding roads or ATV trails effect your hunting plans? I've found some places that look promising but then found an ATV trail (that wasnt shown on google earth or USGS maps) a few hundred yards away. Of course, for backpacking in the roads are sweet and offer quick and easy travel....but the last thing I want is to run into half a dozen ATVs buzzing all over the place. After a few bad experiences with over populated areas I want to get away from the masses. Just wondering if you guys worry about the potential ease of access for other hunters, or if it's not a big deal since you're off the road so far?
Thanks
