silent atv--what do you think
I am a serious hunter from Utah and have found on hunts this past few years, that I am constantly annoyed by the use of noisy atv's and their irresponsible users. I myself only use one to get in and out of a remote hunting area, always parking and shutting down a reasonable distance from the terrain that I wish to hunt, however, I would like to see something on the market that would allow me to get closer to my chosen area at a much lower decible rate than is currently available. I am willing to invest in the research, production and procurement of such vehicles, and would like to know what other hunters think and what you think that a product like this is worth.

Yah there are several (Quiet) mufflers already on the market. Myself could care less because like you, the onlythingI use it for isto get from one area to the other and never hunt from it, so the noise thing isn't an issue.

I have heard of the bad boy buggies and looked at them as an alternative, however, considering the price and the fact that they are basically a hopped up golf cart with limited range on all electric power train, I did not think they seemed they ideal solution to the problem.

RE: silent atv--what do you think
The Bad Boy Buggies are pretty good and very very quiet. The main problem is how far do you have to travel. If you have to go over 20-22 miles, then you might consider purchasing a silencer for you muffler or a new stealth muffler for you ATV. You can find some at Montana Jacks ATV supply, Highlifter, and other ATV accessorie places. Just type in ATV Accessories in Google and you will find numerous sites to chose from.

20 mile range actually means a usable range of less than 10 miles, unless you plan on having someone pick you up where you ran out of juice. Thanks, though for the advice, I will check out the mufflers.
