Was thinking about bringing my UTV out west this year for a hunt. Not sure what unit or even what state. I have a few points in different states and still the option of OTC tags. Still doing some research. I would like to do a mountain hunt for mule deer or elk and weather can be from one extreme to the next and thought it might be easier to navigate a UTV if weather is not cooperating. What are everyone’s opinions on using a UTV for mountain hunting? Plan was using truck to base of mountain then utv on legal roads until we hit a trail head or dead end 2 track, then back packing in. Some forums I read sound like a lot of people dislike them and it’s usually because of law breakers taking them where they are not suppose to. I follow the law and don’t wanna destroy public lands or piss anyone off. Are the use of atv/utv’s ruined by the assholes or is atv use still accepted by other fellow hunter’s if used smart and leagally? If it’s gonna help my hunt that’s good or if it’s gonna piss a lot of people of that’s bad and I’ll leave it at home.
