I am a OHV owner and i have been listening to the discussion about this topic. I have two issues with this topic, #1- There was no discussion about the use of public land for OHV other than in the mount hood area. oregon has lots of OHV owners and it seems to me that there should be areas all over oregon to accomodate everyone. #2- No mention has been made about 4-wheel drive trucks/suv. Now i do understand that these vehicles do even more damage to the terrain than the smaller OHV but, oregon has a lagre amount of these vehicles and they should be considered in this discussion. Not all 4-wheel drive vehicle/suv owners are irresponsible and with proper control, i.e.- numbered permits attached to v.i.n. numbers on vehicles, i believe it could be managed.
