To counter the shit heads. Put game cameras up in trees along the paths of concern. Be smart and get light sensitive ones that don't beam out a few watts of IR light. Bubba has a handheld monocular without an IR filter for deer poaching.
Also, I can get a truck into a lot of places no one has been into for years. With an ATV? I got a lot less shit to cut out of my way. With what I could carry on an ATV? Not all that much less equipped than if I loaded down a Jeep.
