[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 295807, member: 14435"] It depends on where you live. You guys down there really don't have huge tracks of public land (in the lower 48 anyway) compared to what we have in Canada. I agree that for many hunting situations you don't need an ATV. But if your hunting camp is 20-30+miles from where you can get your truck, your opinion might change. I know it sounds romantic to pack your gear in and huint from foot for a week, but have you ever packed a moose thats over 1500pounds on the hoof out? I goat and sheep hunt on foot every year too, but for game as heavy as a moose it's a different game. I have an atv that I use for hunting - I get much better millage than what you get on your grizzly - I get about 160km's on 4 gallons of gas with my artic cat. I don't use it to pound thru the bush all day, I use it to set up my remote camp and hunt from there. If you have insurance you can ride on forest service road here. Even with that there are still not a pile of guys hunting from thier quad here. Sure you see a few, but I see 5 trucks for every atv cruising around. [/QUOTE]
