I am looking to buy a new atv. I'm leaning towards wolverine. I plan to use it for play but also for hunting. Does anybody use a wolverine for hunting and what do you think of it.

 

never tried using a Wolverine for hunting. But I do like that fishing commercial where the guy is using a sea otter. LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

...but seriously, I think the Wolverine would be a suitable machine for hunting (according to your state reg's of course). It's small, light-weight, and should take you anywhere you want to go.

 

usually, a sportsman does the hunting, just kiddin'. i don't see why not. i have hunted with friends that drive honda 300 4x4's. they get around great, or at least good enough. i think that your quad would at least equal the capabilities of the honda.

 

The only thing that I'd be considered with is if the exhaust is too noisy. The quieter the better.

I see so much more wildlife with my Recon than I ever did with my Warrior.

 

i hunt on my 300ex so the wolvy should be just fine.

 

I've had my Wolverine since June of '01 and have used it every fall during deer & elk hunting season. It doesn't have the rack capacity of the bigger utes but it hasn't had any problem packing deer or towing elk on a 2-wheeled pack rack. Plus when no seasons are open it is a great trail riding machine. Just need the warn 424 to make it a little sportier.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

you should have no problems hunting with a wolverine. I hunted with my LT 185. and it did great.

 

I use to hunt with my Wolverine since I bought it new in '98. I used it to take alot of deer out of the woods. I had front and rear racks. There have been quite a few times when I had a deer on the front rack and a deer on the back rack and another hunter on the quad with me. I use to hunt in West Virginia,( lots of hills). The average deer was less than 100lbs though. I've had a few that were slightly larger on the Wolverine's rack. The Wolverine is very capable as a deer hauler. The only thing I didn't like was the mud protection. In West Virginia, I had to drive through a few cow pastures. I tried my best to dodge all the cow pies. When I'd hit one I'd get splattered everywhere. Other than that, its a great hunter.

 

I go hunting on a wolverine and i have no problems. Depending on how much gear u are planning on taking u might want to buy sum upgrades. The reason that I would deffinately get the wolverine is because it has the best of both worlds. Its very sporty but yet has four wheel drive
