RE: ATV's during Bow Season
 

I have hunted a private 1000 acre farm a few times with some guys from work. These guys are a bit older than me and use 4 wheelers to get down close to their stands. These guys only rifle hunt so I'm safe when I go down archery hunting, but these guys are always wondering why they aren't seeing many deer when they go there and when they do they are seeing alot of young deer. I tried to tell them themature deer are wise to the 4 wheelers and they are basically ruining their hunts by using them. They see the small deer because they aren't as educated yet as the older ones. They just can't grasp the concept. 5 4wheelers on opening day before daylight makes one hell of a ruckus.

They can be a very valuable tool when used correctly, unfortunately they rarely are.

I've never used mine to get to a stand however, I do use it for food plots. They can also be valuable to drop someone like a friend off at a stand rather than walking the two of you in and then you leaving. The deer here it come and go and relax vs hear it come and stay and be alarmed.

Valuable to pick the animal up afterward to to save the hide from dragging thought that's another reason I'm considering a cart...less noise, disturbance and scent.

See told you they were a tool of Satan.:D

There's no laws preventing it during bow season and you're hunting central not northern minnesota. Sorry that not everyone can get the memo that you are hunting. Cause yea I guess I should just walk 5 miles to get to my stand huh?

edit: I guess nobody is supposed to be trapping, grouse hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, or just do anything in the woods while you are deer hunting either.
