the mule or gator would be nice if you hunt flat land and dont have to worry about 2feet or more of water. but i am saying get a 4 wheeler. every spring we have a guy that comes out and traps predators for ducks unlimited. any way he usta own a mule and he said its alright if you are not on rough ground or dont worry about going threw that much. he traded it off fo a 4 wheeler. he said that the 4 wheeler was alot smoother on rought and can go threw quite a bit more. i have a honda rancher electric shift 4x4 and i love the dang thing
