Exclamation dual sport quad

What is a good dual sport quad .I am looking for something I can hunt and trail ride with.
Don't say 350 warrior had one years ago not enough power for me.

You didn't say what your price range was, or any brand, so if you want power and trail fun together, any of the 500-800 Can Ams will do, either the Outlander or Renegade, if you really want a trail quad. Polaris quads ride nice, don't know if they are "sporty" enough for your likes, Yamaha now offers IRS in 450-700 Grizzlys, unless you want real trail sportiness, then you may want to stick to SRA such as a Brute Force or similar quad. Narrow it down to engine size, features, and such, and it will help to weed out the models you don't want.

sorry the price range is 2500 to 3000 .I am going used on this buy.
I have found a ds650 and 660yamaha for around the same price range in my local craigslist.I am doing this right now.I think I can strap a wild hog to the back on one of them............

You don't have to haul them on a rack, I always dragged my deer out with my Wolverine, find a kid's roll up plastic toboggan, tie that to the handlebars, when you get a hog, use a short rope, tie the pig to the plastic, then to the rear grab bar with a short rope, and it pulls real nice, and keeps your game cleaner than dragging it in the dirt.

Reverse is really important to me I can't find any info if the ds650 has reverse or not .

Good idea about the raft.I was think more about strapping it to the back seat.
I am surprised this forum does not have a hunting section.

we sure do have a section for outdoors/hunting !! its down a ways on the main menu. If reverse is a must have, look into a Polaris Outlaw, powerful, IRS for great off road ride, and reverse, Raptor 660/700, Honda 700xx, just to name a couple (Honda also has IRS)
