I use them occasionally to condition & train my dogs. Great tools when you're working 4 or 5 dogs, sure saves on the legwork of planting birds & having to walk with every dog, especially after working all day. While I'm running dogs, I can look for deer & turkey sign. Plus it's just plain fun!! We use my buddies 6-wheeler to haul the stands in & out.

I have a Honda Foreman ES. I use it for everything except I don't shoot deer from it.

I have friends who have had Polaris ATV's and I hear they are high maintenance rigs. Have you found this to be true?

Mark this is my second polaris quad, my first was 94 -400cc -2 stroke,it was a real good machine in the 10 years i owned it i dont believe i spent a hundred dollars on it other than normal service,tires etc.this one is a 2003 ,335-4 stroke and in the few years i have had it i have spent nothing , except normal service. to be fair my first quad was a 1987 honda for-trax it was also a good machine

I use my for almost everything. Only bad part is I see myself riding more than walking. Not a good thing for the ole "beer belly". Once you have one, it's near impossible to do without.

2005 polaris sportsman 500 HO. I use it for everything. Plowing snow too. It's got aftermarket racks f/b plus an extra rack that goes in the reciever hitch. And a few "homemade" goodies. Best piece of hunting equipment I ever bought !!!!!!!

If you guys and gals hate it when a spider web wraps around your head while riding your quad, then here's an idea for younz. Mount a s/s car antena on each front corner of your quad. I've had these on mine for years and haven't had one web get me yet. The benifit of s/s is two fold. No rust and they "twang" when hitting low hanging branches. (audio signal to duck !!!!) ;D

I just picked up a new Honda Rancher 420 4x4 ES two weeks ago. We used it cutting firewood and dragging logs. Working great. Can't wait to throw a deer on it.
