your kids and/or grandchildren will thank you

A sticker or plate fund is a big win for the OHV community as long as the ohv community in your state or province is organized. We pay into a plate fund $40 annually, but the benifits are huge for the riding community. It will give the rider a leg up on the anti access groups in the long run.

I would be all for that if
it didnt say "illinois" next to my location.
We have no state or federal land to ride on here. So
this is just another fund to raid and use the money elsewhere for anything but its intended purpose.

If I have land I dont need a sticker to ride on my property,but if I invite you over to ride on my land you have to have the sticker to ride on my land (that I already pay taxes on).

We have very little provincially owned land here either. But the OHV fund can be used to develop trails on private land. The atv, snow mobile and dirt bike riders now have a million dollars a year for trail development. It is a 50% matching fund that can be matched with in-kind labor, materials and machine time or of course money. So far there has been no problem spending it all every year. The most important part is to be organized. If you don't have a state wide trail association, you guys should be starting one.

Indiana is very similar to Illinois in that we also had virtually no place to ride on public land even after decades of collecting $ from enthusiasts in the form of OHV registration fees. In the last few years they finally opened a couple spots but guess what? You have to pay at the gate to get in AND you have to have a paid registration sticker.
Where did all the money go? It was sucked away by IDNR Law Enforcement and other state pet projects that had nothing to do with OHVs. So now they charge a user fee everytime you or I want to access "our" land.
Screw them! I refuse to pay it again!
