IMO ATVs have a very limited place in deer hunting, other than retreving game, or as work vehicles prior to hunting season. I've hunted alot of different clubs and leases and without a doubt those that limit all vehicle traffic produce greater numbers of deer sightings. Arguably, some tracts of land are not accessible very easily by any other means, so notice I said limited and not entirely forbidden. However, it will always be my preference to not have any vehicle parked anywhere near the area I'm hunting.
