Roadless areas are very important for a number of reasons, but I will focus on the negative effects of vehicle traffic for hunting. For me personally, nothing ruins an outdoor experience more than hearing or seeing vehicles out in the woods. Just two weeks ago while elk hunting in the Carson National Forest in New Mexico I witnessed significant abuse of roadless areas well off of an already closed road. I watched three men drive their truck way off the road up a drainage so they did not have to pack an elk out. They drove through many wetlands and crossed a stream several times, leaving ruts and other damage. It was very lazy. The more roads we have, the more of the remaining wild country will be abused by people who have no respect for anything or anyone.
