I am really trying to do my homework for this tag. i see it as a pretty big honor. its my first draw and will be my first elk if i get one.
so im trying to find out where the best place to start walking is and where i can possibly see the most WAPITI.

The difference is on National forest lands any vehicle on a road must be street legal. Most ATV's are not street legal unless you have them licesed that way, and they have to have a horn and a rear view mirror. Mine is street legal and can be ridden on the roads.Remember, your truck is also street legal, but your quad is not. Some FS guys won't pay you any mind and some will fine you and confiscate your ATV.
"Mine is street legal and can be ridden on the roads"
Not in Washington State

To ride on a FS Road legally the vehicle must be street legal. To run on the trail system it has to have an ORV tag. If the trail is open to ride an ORV and your quad has an ORV tag your are good to go. You can drive on the FS road to cross the road to get to an trail. i.e. trail intersecting the FS road.
That makes sense?

....but i just hate it when im sweating my balls off and some Jack ass comes flying past me on a quad....:yeah: I hate nothing more than to see someone blatantly riding/driving in any closed area. Sets a bad image. I'm not against ATV's...love 'em. But seeing/hearing a motor out in the closed areas gets me fired up. Not to get off topic but a few years ago we started to hike into an area off the green dots in Manastash on an old closed logging road and half mile in there's a travel trailer and horse trailer. :bdid::mor: I mean really, if you have horses wtf are you doing so far in!! Needless to say I was so pissed off I marked the GPS to tell the GW but by the time we came back they packed up and left. :stup:
There....I feel better now. ;)

i was hunting near teanaway last year and i was just getting into a good area that i was sure was holding some BUCKS and this *censored* on a quad came up the same trail i was hiking and i just threw my arms up and he just rode past.
i was so hacked i went back to camp and got drunk.
hahahaha
why dont they just obey the rules.
i love quads but have some freakin common curtesy.

Any vehicle in order to be driven on forest service roads in the national forest must be street legal. The only way you can use an ATV in national forest is on designated trails. Motorcycle trails are considered single tract trails and they cannot be ridden there. Only trails designated for jeeps and ATV's. I did say that I believe the forest service is looking at the possibility of allowing ATV's to be ridden on some designated roads. But those rules have not been adopted

Carry a can of bear spray and give the mf'er a shot to the face as he goes by. :chuckle:

Suffice it to say, If you do drive an ATV in Washington on a NF road, you better be ready to fork some cash out. I don't agree with it, but it is the rule.

Can an off-road vehicle or motorcycle be licensed for street use in the state of Washington?
No, in order for a vehicle to be street legal, the vehicle must meet the federal requirements for road use and be certified by the manufacturer to meet those standards. Therefore, the vehicle must be originally manufactured for road use in order to be licensed in Washington State.
