I am with Taz on the ATV issue. Unless they are necessary i would not use them myself. To me hunting is just that -you hunt. Driving around to stands or where ever on an ATV is not hunting to me, half the fun is getting there and seeing what pops out of the brush on the way. I want to experiance every thing about the hunt, and to me personally that would take something from my hunting experiance. Plus when i think of some people i know running the woods on 4-wheelers it just puts me in mind of road hunting --which i absolutely refuse to do. Thats not hunting in my opinon.

Any way i think with all of todays gadgets most people spend more time on preperation to hunt or maintaining their high tech equitment. And some people spend more time actually getting ready to hunt, shopping for the right gear, weapons, ect...than they actually do on the actual hunt.

I guess its what you love about the hunt most to each person. I my self do not wish to waste time on any thing that will actually take something from the enjoyment of the actual hunt. I want to spend my time in the woods not getting ready to go. Plus i think to some people it`s more about showing off their new camo, high tech equitment, atv`s or weapons ect...some people would rather revel in the talk of this stuff than to actually be in the woods.
