I feel bad for the F&G on this one. It was a good law and I believe there were still plenty of trail options out there for the ATV road hunter. Even if Idaho does move toward a controlled/quota system this still changes the hunting experience. Bottom line- less backcountry, more access. If you like remoteness and solitude of the backcountry this takes more of that away.
A good example of the difference in regulation is the closure of critical winter ranges by the Idaho F&G vs. the general closures on FS until April 15th. F&G puts in a great deal of effort and I think a relatively good job keeping people out. However, a lot of people don't even realize much of the FS is closed and if they do know its regulated so loosely people don't care.
