Well what sport quad are you gonna pull a deer out of the woods with? Maybe the V-force 700 Kawasaki....... my guess anyway

It's the only auto tranny sport quad with shaft drive I can thinks of anyway

Yea I'm not so sure about the hunting part ..... As was said you're not going to want to pull a deer out of the woods on a sport machine. But if you want to drive something to the hunting area and back only, I would say something that can crawl really slow, quietly through the woods. Maybe a Honda 300ex or an old Warrior ..... Either one is geared low enough and does not mind lugging around at low RPMs for a while ....

Honda 400EX, Suzuki Z400, and the Raptor 700. Maybe the 300EX if you are small and riding really tight trails.

I like the EX for slower very tight technical stuff, and the Z for more open faster trails. I don't like the Raptor's ergonomics much myself.

Like it has been said, if you are just looking to get back into the woods than these will do, but they're not the hot ticket for hauling out an animal.

I'd agree w/ reconranger. I looked at all of those and went with a Predator though. You get a lot of great components stock that you'd pay more to upgrade to if you got one of those. Especially if you can find a Limited.

I would say a V-force 700 also, because if youre going hunting, you'll most likely be carrying stuff with one hand alot. It's an automatic so you can use one hand to drive it. All the rest have a hand clutch.

Unless you are a huge guy who can't fit on anything else, just forget those oddball quads like the Kawi700 or the DS650. Neither of these are suitable for tight trails, jumping, or play riding.....or hunting for that matter.

You did post this in the "sport quad" forum ......so no foo foo automatics for any "true" sport quad riders....got that!

I have to say my favorite all around sport quad is a stock kawzuki 400 it will go fast,slow,high,and low. And with the big T seat you could probably carry a critter out of the woods if you really wanted to. LOL
