Buying a UTV for Hunting Trips

UTVs are very useful for hunting. Not only do they allow you to quickly and easily get to your hunting spot, but they make hauling your gear and supplies a piece of cake. If you’re interested in finding a side by side that’s perfect for your next hunting trip, use this guide from the experts at Big St. Charles Motorsports. 

Noise Level

The last thing you want is to spook the prey away with the sound of your engine. UTVs meant for hunting are designed to run quieter for this exact reason. While it’s usually possible to modify an existing UTV to be quieter if necessary, don’t forget to add the cost of this upgrade to your budget. 

Paint Job

A camouflage paint job can help your UTV to better blend into the background. If the UTV you are looking at doesn’t come in camo colors, you may need to modify it before you leave for your trip. 

Consider the Landscape

Different landscapes present different challenges. For example, if you plan to hunt in an area with a lot of different terrain types, look for a model that is extremely adaptable and has enough power to overcome obstacles. 

Extras

The right extras can really enhance your hunting experience. For example, a winch can be helpful for transporting heavy game. Straps, ropes, and an extended cargo rack can also be useful. Rifle scabbards make transporting firearms that much easier, while upgraded lights are helpful for hunting in the early morning or late evening.
