    I'd say so. "Bear" in mind, it depends on the terrain where you're hunting. The big advantage we found with this cart was the ground clearance. It clears rocks and brush nicely without too much effort. And the skinny tires and light weight body make it roll pretty effortlessly. Being fairly light is also nice when you have to flip it onto a trailer. See first pic here:

    The only thing I'll say is that the front axles / steering are the weakest points. It worked great until the wheels turned one too many times as they rolled over an obstacle. The metal eventually gave out. I removed the front wheels assembly, and rigged it up with the fixed rear wheels only, and used a piece of tubing to hitch the frame up.
    I definitely wouldn't want to use it regularly behind a quad. The few times that i did, i was being very careful. It is a "yard cart" after all. haha

    Can't really comment on that as I've never shot a larger boar, that sow is my largest. Now during the rut I could see a boar tasting different and perhaps not being as tender. I think one of the main factors overall would be diet. Some buddies shot a 'dump" bear one year while out moose hunting and it was so strong you couldn't cook it in the house.

    Cheers

    I have heard the old saying "you are what you eat " the same would hold true for a bear.
    Diet does effect the taste of any thing that you eat be it domestic or wild. Just think of diver ducks verses puddlers, Spruce Grouse verse Ruffed Grouse, free range chickens verses the bland tasting supermarket variety, wild and domestic turkey and the list goes on.

    Yes diet has always effected taste.
    I shoot pigeons on farms, and they go to the pot.

    Cleaning out pigeons from a city warehouse, and they go straight to the dumpster. Not even going to try them.
    Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.
