I consider myself pretty lucky...coming from a family that's 80% into law enforcement, and myself working at my local Trial Court, I don't have to worry about any of the B.S. about "you can't ride here"..."you're destroying state/town property"....I can get out of just about any dirt bike issue...but don't take that the wrong way...I don't go out looking for trouble either. Luckily, there's still places within minutes of riding from my house that I've been riding at for 38-39 years, that are really cool and fun.
But it is getting harder and laws are getting tighter around here too.

Your right Brute.
We are our own worst enemies.
I have no problem with restricted area's, protecting wildlife, and the environment.
I do hunt after all so I want a healthy ecosystem  :lol:

I guess the part that irks me is their lack of common sense when making and enforcing regulations.
Heaven forbid that you get caught shooting a tree in Oregon, it will now cost you 500 bucks.

How long will it be before we get limited to indoor riding arena's  :?
Sounds funny but it may come to that for our children's children.

This is a complex issue dealing with Constitutional matters that have gone unresolved. Some of you may be aware that Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and Idaho have met to pursue reclaiming "federal lands" to their respective States control. This all before the Bundy Ranch standoff.
Some of my opinions:
1- U.S. BLM and Forest Service should not exist. The States should manage the public lands in their borders. In the mean time the Agents should not be armed or involved in Law Enforcement.
2- I don't want current public land sold to the highest bidder. I believe the management should continue 4 fold: grazing, mining, timber, and recreation.
3- Protection of public land is a local and state matter. "BRUTE" you are right to want pubic land cared for properly. Wildlife thrives where the humans are this creates a need for common sense protection for humans first animals second (like I said my opinions here).
4- Blah blah blah I have many more but not enough time to go on :-D

I've read about that.  Isn't it supposed to have a 100 mile range?

I 100% agree.  Why should they be armed?  They should be land management, not law enforcement which is what they've become.  If they have a problem or witness an issue they should call the local law enforcement to deal with it. 

Who will go paramilitary next?  The post office?

... supervisor for the imperial sand dunes ...

This is the  W O R S T  blm shop around - it's sand man, not snot grass or horney toads.  We spend our WHOLE LIVES for the sand & we get FENCES in the sand - all over  :?

i used to live in western washington where weyerhauser owned anywhere there might be some open trails. normally i didnt hear anything of blm there. so here in nevada right over the hills where i live 2 houses away from a my friend that retired from blm after 30 years . did a lot of flying helicopters for firefighting . to be quite honest its not blm that really cares in this state . but the ranchers will shoot you iff your bike if you go thru a gate and dont close it. open range. i dont understand all the coastal states rules and regulations concerning orvs but here in nevada i jump on the bike and race the sherrifs kid down the street to the where the big sign that says 300 dollar fine for operation of orv withing 300 ft has been laying on the ground 10 feet or so away from the big galvanized post that we might as well hook the tether ball to. i think some of the regulatory stuff on dirtbikes is crap because once the plates slide a few more times California is moving away anyhow . so dig a trench all the way thru the crust to the mantle with a rear tire. i think a spark arrester has a good idea behind using it. dont want to light the desert on fire/. theyre just looking for more revenue and thats another reason nevada is the place to be owning orvs . any more west is a super vacation spot.
hell ,i,m so broke . if it cost a nickle to take a s**t, id have to puke.....
