hunting with or without a Quad, around Calgary.

[jayquiver]

Might be moving from Ft Mac to Calgary this year. I own a quad but I'm thinking of selling it as I only use it for hunting. They places I am looking at renting don’t have garages or yards, so storage is becoming a problem.

I plan on hunting in the foothills/mountains on crown land (300 and 400 WMU’s). I have never hunted this area before. My extent of hiking experience has been in the Provincial and National Parks while camping, not hunting.

For those of you who hunt within 2 hrs of Calgary 300 and 400 WMU’s. Are you mainly walking in and packing meat out ? Are quads a good tool or are there too many restrictions for them? Are there many trails for quads?

Typically I have used my quad to get into my hunting spots via pipelines, logging roads in Fort Mcmurray and Slave Lake area. I don’t usually “road hunt” on my quad but use to get into spots, then walk or sit. I use it to retrieve the animal.

I’m just not sure if a quad will be needed or useful for hunting in Calgary area in the foothill and mountains.

Keep it or sell it ?
