Pretty simple question. Just want to know if that map is enforced, or if people go where they want. There are a couple of nice sized areas outside the wilderness that we would like to hunt, but the idea of listening to atv and utv traffic is not our idea of a good time. We also don't want to have to deal with this traffic next to the horses.
A SDGFP officer told us last fall that the enforcement of the MVUM in the grasslands by Wall is nonexistent. His exact words were, "You're not supposed to drive on it, but no one is enforcing that."
While hunting is a priority for us, the larger experience of doing so in the mountains with our horse is what we are really after. On our trip to the Bighorns and Buffalo last summer the traffic of these vehicles was pretty heavy, but we were on roads listed as open so it wasn't a big deal.
We plan on coming out for a week this summer to look over the areas we plan to hunt, namely the southern Bighorns, and the south end of Area Y. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you, Horsenhike
