I appreciate all the help. Didn't mean to stir up the ATV controversy. We use them here legally for transporting game and to keep from tearing our trucks up. We don't hunt off of them and ride them all the way to our stands. We hunt a wilderness area in the ozarks that is over 17,000 acres and we are only allowed to ride on 2 roads but those roads are rough and tough on our trucks. I am not afraid of humping the miles to hunt but am not experienced with elk,both hunting them or the ability to get them out of the woods. I'm just guessing but I think it would be quite a task.
