Now that season is rolling around I thought it might be cool to hear some hunting stories involving Quads. Like when you really appreciated or was impressed with your machine. If you have any to share post them below.
I'll start with a story that my buddy told me that I thought was quite impressive. My friend was hunting near a big swamp,and was calling for moose. He wasn't there for long when a huge angry moose came bursting out of the willows looking for a fight. One shot from his 7mm finished him off. Then to get him home he borrowed his hunting partner's little old Suzuki 250 4x4. He cut the moose in half, and drug it out of the muddy swamp with it. The little suzuki was even doing wheelies while pulling all of the weight!
One more impressive story a hunting guide told me: One day he was out hunting, and he spotted a sow black bear, and a cub in the top of a forty foot poplar. They went over to see what had chased the bear up the tree, and found a huge grizzly eating one of her cubs at the base of the tree! They shot the bear(which turned out to be one of the largest bears ever shot in Alberta)and drug all 800 pounds of it home with a Foreman 400. The Foreman was really appreciated that day!

 

Last year, me and my hunting/riding partner got up on opening day of deer season, ate breakfast, made the short ride to our stands, and both shot beautiful deer in the first hour of the gun season, and drug them back to camp. Thats the coolest story so far in my book. It was the first season we both had quads at camp, and his first deer in ten years.

 

I do not have a story yet,But I'll have it this year.
I think,feeding deers with deer apples or deer cabbage a week before a hunt. season starts is immoral and has nothing to do with a sport of hunting.
I think I should make it /cabbage/taste better around here, with a little seasoning/pepper may be OK?/
What do you think???

I took my girlfriends PURPLE Scrambler 500 out to the deer lease last year. Took A LOT of heat from all the old Honda guys about owning a PURPLE 4 wheeler. (buncha Honda 300 4x4 riders)
We all stayed up late talkin and havin some fun and ended up having little "competitions" to see who could get to the front gate and back the fastest.(2 quads at a time) After I smoked the Suki 500, and a Honda 450S, they wouldn't let me race anymore. hahahahahah... Next mornin, I killed a 10 point and hauled it out on that PURPLE POLARIS. Dang 4 wheeler got the taste of blood and ain't been the same since...

 

The best one I ever saw was a honda 300 with two bucks on the front rack and two grown men riding. We had all of their stuff loaded up on our 300. A lot of weight on a 2wd Honda, but it made it up out of the hollow pretty good with all of that. Kinda blows the 66lb. front rack rating out of the water here. Going down a hill, the guy on the back had to get off and hold down the back of the quad to keep it from doing an endo going down the hill.

 

Cool Stories guys! Esp. Mudmachine. LOL!

 

The best thing is that I have the meanest, fastest quad in the camp, I rode ( drove?? ) one of the other members Grizzly, What a hog...
We ( another member and I ) were hauling feed to a mechanical feeder on my Honda one Saturday Afternoon, both of us and 5 50lb sacks of feed ( about 650 to 700lbs Total ) and on the way back up the hill after filling the feeder, punched holes in both right side tires, thank heavens I got it back on the truck before they went completely flat.
Hopefully after this season I'll have some better stories...

 

Only started hunting last year. The only story I can tell is when we go for quail. We just ride around 2-up on the Sportsman, looking for where we will hunt deer and moose a few months after. Spot a quail, boom! Spot 7 all together, boom x 7!

I know it is a lousy story but it is just the tranquility of riding slowly around the woods and not worrying bout' work or anything. Thats the life! (Plus, I don't think my father-in-law would like sitting on the back of my Scrambler with a shotgun in his hands...)
