Hunting ATV

[rf2]

sorry to resurrect an old thread.

do I need 4x4 for ice fishing and hunting ? the honda trx 420 I found is the basic model, no power steering [I can use the workout] but its also 2 WD ... would that be a problem on some remote game trails ?
its trx420 FM1

Yes, you need 4X4. Very easy to get stuck without it, especially in snow. Hondas don't have the best ground clearance, which will be the major contributor to getting stuck, regardless of how good your tires are.

Unless you are going to go trail riding, my Argo is perfect for ice fishing and hunting.

thanks, Glad I asked! Ive seen a couple of those Argos on simcoe last year with nice enclosed trailers for fishing ! too much for me though at this point. I like the fact that I can fit the ATV on the truck bed.

another month wait I think for the 2022 4x4 models, but from the feedback I think thats the way to go,

I wont be using it on maintained trails.

Good idea to wait on something with 4x4, especially for ice fishing. Also unless something has changed I don't think those 420's have IRS. Not the most comfy ride if you are on it for an extended period of time or old like me.

Dont waste your time with other models, go Honda or Yamaha

400cc does the job. Put 3 guys on it bunch of gear and a deer on the front and she keeps on going.

I have a 2003 suzuki. Have some issues every year with it but it does what it needs to for us.

I find myself wanting a fat tire off road ebike with easy saddle frame more and more. Why even bother with the atv if I don't need it to carry big game?

Ebike is cheaper, silent, and easier to hide and transport, foot power if battery dies. Easy to fix flats, easy to maneuver fallen debris.the only situation I don't like is uneven terrain might suck if you fall into mud!

Well the original post was for hunting, so unless you're hunting bunnies and birds a bike is completely out of the question

yea Ive seen those fat E-bikes advertising, but no way to carry all my stuff in it.

off road biking is also not as easy as it looks, ive had my share of experience with it when younger.
