Ok I narrowed it down to these 2 atv's which one is the better for general use hunting ,light trail riding. no farm type work just fun

 

I have a 2003 Ozark and I love it. No problems at all and hopefully none will arise. Shifting problem was fixed for '03 so it shifts perfectly. Also a great jumper. I weigh 140 lbs and I have taken it to some pretty nice ATV tracks and not bottomed out the suspension once. I highly recommend this ATV over anything. I was in your position a few months ago. I narrowed it down to the Ozark, Recon, and Beartracker. I went to local dealers and rode all three and liked the power and feel of the Ozark. With some work with my dealers, I rolled my Ozark off the showroom floor for $3200 with tax and tags and all the bs they add on. Once again, I highly recommend the Ozark.

Ozark

 

I got an Ozark for my daughter. This is one good machine. It handles great. My wife has a recon. The recon is a good machine too but the Ozark blows it away at everything. Get the Ozark!
