Many people do not understand what an existing road is and cut new trails which can be illegal on federal lands. I would recommend checking and asking local officials if new to the area. Many wildlife areas have been created to restrict vehicle use as well as closures of many previous roads. This is mainly due to damage done to water drainages, habitat and even dust created by ATV traffic which has increased tremendously the last few years. The number of older people with handicaps has increased as well that can only access public lands with them so it will be interesting to see how our government handles the problem. So far the federal agencies have said no and started to limit access while the states have said yes and opened up public roads.
