Looking at atvs for hunting and riding trails this will be used for moose and deer what features should I be looking at , I figure 4x4 is a must anything else engine size etc . Thanks

This can become a whole loaded mud slinging thread of personal preference.

The biggest thing I can reccomend is to get out and test ride a few. Pretty much everything comes down to preference.

4X4 would be a must for me too and diff lock is something I wouldn't be without. If you will be in the woods more than not, ground clearance, ground clearance, ground clearance. Be it trees, rocks, snow or mud ground clearance will do more to keep you moving than all the power and the biggest power robbing tires in the world.

A winch will definitely come in handy as well. What sort of budget are you dealing with. For the money conscious guy you do get a lot with CFMoto. Not to mention the 5 year warranty.

musts, power steering, winch, mudlite tires or some other good tire, 4x4 goes without saying, automatic, don't need to go with the biggest out there, look at what you are going to use it for. I still use my 300, small, goes between trees, lighter than most does everything I need in quad, on ice or in bush.

Honda, Yamaha. Either will last for decades if you maintain them. A 500 class bike will drag/haul anything that you can shoot. Winch is a necessity. You can buy bigger but it truly isn’t a necessity.

I'm of the same opinion. You don't need big. You can only drive so fast off the beaten path anyway and the bigger they are the easier they are to get stuck and harder to get out. Unless things have drastically changed, insurance rates for larger displacement machines is higher too. So, 4x4, 350 or 400 cc will get you there and back, a decent winch (although I've yet to use mine in 25 years) and Honda or Yamaha for reliability. I see absolutely no need for anything over 450 or 500 cc.
