Then the remaining trails are used even more, then the BLM says they are over-used and close those too.
It's not just MOAB. Look at the use (abuse) of Wilderness and Monument designations. Those immediately remove motorized access (and i think others as well).
You are correct, people abuse public lands and should be punished but continually closing areas does a dis-service to the users.
In perusing some of the environmental groups, they don't like motorized access... period. And this administration listens to them.

Both of these statements are true as rain. One of the reasons I left Wasgington State, one of many, was the state's management of state and federal public land and access. Most of the federal land in the western US is pretty much wide open to access....if you can get your truck to a spot youre welcome to do so. Washington State generall requires parking in a designated lot and walking in. Oregon is prone to this also but not as bad. Most of the parking areas are MILES from the area you would hunt or fish and as such never get used...but you have the option to do so if you wish. Not so bad small game hunting but its a serious amount of work to schlep a field goose spread a mile and back a mile...or more. They also will not allow bicycle access, electric or otherwise. Some seriously productive grain fields managed by the state which can be as productive as anything in Saskatchewan if you could get a proper spread to it....but the really good ones are 3-7 miles from the designated parking area and you'd best not get caught...and they patrol....stopping on a state or county road to unload and load....it is absolutely intentional, I was told this un-categorically by the wildlife bioolgist in the area I lived. It is done to prevent pressure...but it also allows the few commercial outfitters in the area to have unfettered access to these areas from private land leases adjacent to them.
