RE: To ATV or not to ATV, that is the question.
I guess it all depends on how far you are away from the hunting. In my case we are 2300 miles from south central Co where we are headed again this year. Dragging a trailer with an ATV all that distance doesn't make much sense. The past 2 years the 3 of us have shot 5 elk and had to bring them all out by packframe. Having an ATV would make it a bit easier since we have been hunting DIY on some private land where we could use one. IMO I don't mind quartering and packing them out. Usingan ATVto access hunting land would be the last thing I would do. We drive a truck as far as we can get and then pull out our 4X4 hiking boots. If it takes the 3 of us all day or longer to get an elk out...that is part of the fun.
