RE: atvs and deer hunting
This has been beat around alot and you will get alot of opinions. myself i hunt private land and the deer are VERY used to atv's and tractors and they have no real effect on them in some areas.
I have some stands i will drive right up to the stand and have climbed in the stand countless times with deer starting right at me . as soon as i sit down they go right back to what they were doing. some i have that are a long way from my camp and i ride close but walk in to my stand. i don't want my atv close . would it really bother the deer? only the deer know and they ain't talking.
It also makes a difference how they are rode. i had a few i have had to say something to about what i would call wild riding. just take your time and no wide open throttle riding.
i have a guy with a yamaha that needs a muffler and he says he will have one by next year![:@]
And polaris is the loudest in the woods!!!
But i use them and will continue to .
