As sad as it is access is becoming a huge problem in the hunting community. Not saying illegal is ok, but I think a lot of people are choosing technology to get an advantage. When I think of a motor I think of a loud, gas burning motor. But, like always we should know the laws..
I'd rather have a guy cruise past on a electric bike than a damn atv after I hiked many a mile.
There aren't degrees of illegal. Either it is or it isn't. You and I rarely disagree on anything RT and I respect your opinion and value the benefit of your experience that you often share with us, either one-on-one or in the forum. I suggest that whether it's an electric bike or a bigfoot Ford, if it's illegal then you're going to tick someone off by doing it, whether that's another hunter who's hiked in 5 miles to get away from the crush or a hiker who'll now lump all hunters into the same category of ignorant rednecks who don't care what the law says. But this goes along with other rules we have when we hunt. Littering, poaching, using the wrong method, whatever. We should be policing each other to make sure hunting has a good image and everyone has a fair shake in the woods. This is why illegal access with motorized vehicles is such a hot button. It should be for all hunters, IMHO.
For all of you that will ask "Do you speed in your car?" Yes, I've broken the law while driving. But, when it comes to hunting, I'm a complete boy scout. I expect the same from every licensed hunter.
