I have bad legs from polio when I was 4. I use my ATV to get within a couple hundred yards of my stand, and walk the rest of the way. Without my ATV, I wouldn't be able to retrieve a deer without help, so it's a real blessing to me. On the other hand, one of my hunts this year was interrupted by a "neighbor" riding his through our posted land, right at prime time. He stopped about 75 yards from me and started smoking something. I whistled and he left, but no deer used the trail that evening.
ATV's don't ruin hunting, slob riders do.
