Do police hate deer?

If they could ride the same terrain then so be it, but up in Mooch there is double track go around for every downed tree and technical feature. There is no walking tough sections with ATV's, there is simply just gassing it right into the untainted woods.
If it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic with my previous post.
My dirtbike comes before my bicycle in my scheme of importance. I find it funny that, though MTBers are fighting for many of the same rights/access as dirtbike riders, they turn around and give the same condescending attitude to dirtbikers that commoners give to MTBers . Regardless of which faction I see doing what, I have never even fathomed the idea of trying to fuck somebody over by calling the cops or whatever other means of trying to get them in trouble. It's got to make you feel like a bitter prick, no? I've also found that the dirtbike riding demographic tends to be a lot less smug/arrogant than the MTBers. I always wave and get waves back and am offered help from motor-folk. Absolutely can not say the same for pedalers.
Until then, like they say in Poland -- Tough Sheetski.
most of the new stuff at mahlon isn't really ridable on a 4-wheeled contraption. as i've said before, i actually really enjoy riding quad and dirt bike trails. i think they're a blast. wanna keep quads off a singletrack? frequent enough chokes to make it boring for them to keep having to go around, but not too slow for mtbs to enjoy. frequent turns and rock gardens will keep most motorized vehicles out as well. the vast majority of the people riding dirt bikes and quads like to go fast. if the trail makes that impossible, they'll avoid it.
look at the beaver brook trail as it goes through the wmas adjacent to mahlon. in the 15 or so years that i've known of the trails existance, i've seen two sets of dirt bike tracks on it, and they were moto trials tires. they didn't roost at all. it's a tight, technical trail that just plain isn't any fun on a dirt bike. and it is surrounded by quad and db trails that see rather high use.
mahlon is one of the few parks where it's actually fairly easy to catch illegal motorized trail users. there are only three entrance points on the east/south side of the park.
We rode Mahlon last night as saw 2 quads over at the wildlife management area.
bob, i'm not entirely sure on the names of the trails over there. is ditch the one with the water bar jumps when descending it? i've seen quad tracks going around there, but that's a pretty open bypass around a really lousy section of trails. not saying it's right, but it's logical.
were the tracks on the cardiac(the one that goes back and forth across the original trail??) showing up multiple times or just once or twice?
it's sort of like the new developments popping up everywhere and the residents that move in complaining about the bears. the bears were there first, it was their habitat. all of a sudden it was taken away from them. they're bound to show up.
Can't we all play nice in the sandbox together?
Not when it is illegal for other users to be in the sandbox.
Another example is the new cardiac bypass trail on top of the Tranquility side. Again slower tighter trail, enough rocks in it to make it fun. Quads have been on that one as well.
It's amazing (or not) how humans artifically segregate into our little groups & make war with each other.
Besides moutain bikers being expected (it appears) to hate motos & quads, if you read any moto board you will find moto's & quad riders hate each other as well.
