Mud Boggers Leave Mark Of Shame

I don't care much if you drive onto your own land and rip it to shreds with your four-wheel drive vehicle as long as you're not polluting public waters downstream. But the chronic spring problem of mudboggers ripping public lands to shreds is disgusting to the core. Photos here show two recent abuses from the Colville National Forest and the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests.  Memorial Day weekend was a free-for-all on portions of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, where Forest Service officers wrote ticket after ticket and never scratched the surface of the off-road riding abuse/Rich Landers, SR Outdoors. More here.

Question: Have you seen individuals in back-country rigs tearing up public lands?
