Playing the 'Devils Advocate' here.
More people out riding, more people going 'off trail' hill climbing where they should not and tearing up stuff. More damage. More erosion. I was out bird hunting with the wife in a well marked refuge (has been for many many years) open for 'walk in' and five dirt bikes that looked like a mix of teens and adults came in and rode a couple miles into it up hills and all over. Of course they were not staying on the access road. I am sure if you asked they would say "We didn't hurt anything". Probably the next group would say the same. And the next. It accumulates.
I am not saying everything BLM or enforcement does is right. They do not have the numbers to enforce area's against the "We didn't hurt anything" folks so they close and gate so it is harder to get in and corral riders to certain area's. The critters and plants that live in these area's deserve to have their 'space' too. Human encroachment is pushing wildlife into smaller and smaller area's too which is why we are having more 'big' critter human interaction.
We in the dirt bike community are our own worst enemy most of the time. If you had to hear the excuses and repeated BS the "We did not hurt anything" crowd lays down to the officers you would get tired of it too. No, I am not one. I am tired of seeing it too. That and the left or dumped crap left all over. Off the soapbox now. Maybe. Probably not. Pisses me off just thinking about it.

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.
