Offroad vehicles leave minor, inconsequential tiny little scrapes on top of the land that will heal in like 20 years if left alone. That's nothing in the big scheme of things.
I'm 100% supportive of OHV recreational areas.

Yeah and I think, at least from my experience, all of those guys were respectful. I also fish, so I was always mindful of where I crossed rivers, at actual crossings. My dirtbike ain't #### compared to a skidder and cat.
I remember a story years ago, I believe it was up around Rocky Mountain House. Some guys brought a vac truck to the hills, pumped water out of a river and into a hole where they smashed into it over and over with 4 wheelers and trucks. Boom, shut it down. The whole thing. Couple #######s ruin it for everyone.
I don't know man. It's different now. Used to go up there ready to stay for the duration, and we could for weeks on end without having to make a trip. Last couple times I've been up in Kananaskies we had guys beside us that leave trash everywhere, (one group of D bags burnt their trailer awning up by having it too close to the fire, so they tore it off and left it there) people that raid your firewood stack when you leave camp to ride and fish, and come asking for water and #### while turning their nose up at a dirtbike. Like dude, I'm up here to get away from you useless idiots.
I must be getting old.
