Default A Quite ATV for hunting

I am looking for a 400-500 class atv , using it mostly for hunting
which ATV do you feel is the quitest, I currently have a 94 polaris 425
4X4 ,I'm getting ready to replace . I drove a few different ones, also
I'm not to excited to put a stealth exhaust on, as it makes the engine
run at a higher temp. Oh,did I say where we hunt it is a 1/2 mile from
the truck to the top of the hill where we start hunting. any imput will be
appreciated .

The Yamaha Kodiak 450 is a nice quad. Has everything you need...diff lock, independent suspension, 4x4, low range, etc and are a reliable quad.

have an eiger,05' manual and a 05 AC 400 tbx ,of the 2 the eiger is noticeably quieter and likely to stay that way as the silencer is constructed of stainless not mild steel like the ac.....

My cousin's Rancher is pretty quiet. I had to borrow it when mine was down and man was it a lot quieter than my Prairie.
