The 3 wheeler with the flotation tires walks across the top of Peat Moss, and if it does get stuck it's light enough to lift out by hand... Another advantage the 3 wheeler has in the bog is the 3 point stance, the rear tires don't run in the tracks of the front... That makes a huge difference in the bog.
The equipment I carry when afield alone will allow me to get "unstuck" under about any conditions, if a 3 wheeler can get there, you can bet the farm a 4 wheel drive utv will.
I do not hunt off of it, I use it to transport hunters to their stands and retrieve downed game, it does however see a lot of use and abuse chasin bear dogs during our bear season.
