Hunting ATV opinions

[yardboss1]

Does anyone use one on the regular during hunting season that they are happy with ? I think I want an older model and figure some may go up for sale . Guys in my hunt club have a Suzuki Bayou , Honda 420 , Polaris Ranger Crew. Need it to be a work horse not a show horse.

Requirements:
1. Reliable if you are doing your part
2. 4x4
3. auto trans
4. rack to carry deer
5. lights

4x4 gets you stuck further from the road and havent met a challenge my 2wd Rancher couldnt handle

Rancher 350/420 for the win..........

2000 rancher 2wd manual shift. Never had an issue getting deer out and is not too big to get around in the woods.

I love my rancher 420 manual shift most of all, but Stuckon22 has an older 4wd king quad that’ll pull a house off its foundation. That thing pulled a big 8-pointer up a really steep embankment like it wasn’t even there

Don’t use one much now but last club I was on you either walked or had one. I had a 420 rancher 4x4 and was very happy. They will freeze you in cold weather though. We had some areas that were a long ride.

2wd Kawasaki Bayou 220, got for free. Honda’s are nicer…

That's why you stop every once in a while and "love" your engine.....it will "love" you back with warmth.

So no one really feels a 2wd is a disadvantage if all you do is hunt with it ?
