A lot of our roads are really rough and if you want to access an area you can camp miles away and ride in with the atv, less truck repairs, less fuel used and you can actually see better where game has been moving and feeding to help you choose a spot to hunt on foot.
Where we hunt elk they de-activate the roads, sometimes really bad, and we can atv hunt 15km from camp to get into where the elk hang out. Without the atv's we would never be able to hunt there.
For us they are a life saver and got us to almost completely quit road hunting and burning hundreds of $ in fuel each day, plus we are older and packing game is a young mans sport.

Spot on. Have had a quad of some sort since about 1983, trikes and dirt bikes before that. Even when I was young, I quit hunting moose because packing them out miles in a trapper Nelson was just ZERO fun. Once we got quads for retrievel, moose hunting was fun again.
