I use the 350 rancher 4x4 to and I love it . If you want to haul your stuff without it touching the seat you want a mule or polaris ranger but bring your wallet on payday because theyre high.

RE: Which ATV do you prefer for hunting?
I went from a Polaris Sportsman 500 to a Bombardier Quest 500. It was like going from a Hyundai to a Cadillac.
I liked my Polaris, but the Bombardier is quieter, smoother, more comfy and just as, if not more, powerful. Don't get me wrong...I don't think there is a true lemon on the marked today.
Only thing I don't like about it is the size. It's wider than crap. Makes it stable...but won't fit between some trees.
I don't use mine for hunting, though. I cuss everyone I hear flyin around during season. I hang stands before season, and I'll drag a deer with one...but that's an in and out thing. I hear guys running them like they're on Rt. 66. It's ruined the sport in many areas of this country. The guy that hoofs it 3 miles will likely run into some moron going the same place at 30 miles per hour.

I don't own an ATV. But I'd LOVE TO get one, one of these days. My wife's young brother has one (Honda 250?) non-hunting, bright red, 4-wheeler. Over the July 4th holiday, when we were on vacation, I rode it for the first time and had a blast! [8D] Once I got more into it, I became a crazed lunatic and was doing donuts and figured out how to pull a wheelie. What fun!

I'm running Honda, and currently have a 2004 Foreman ES. This thing is a mule---it has 2wheel/4 wheel selector, electric shift with a transmission instead of a rubber band (belt) that needs replacement every so often, and is just about bulletproof, it will go anywhere, and lug deer, bear, and will tow moose with ease.
If you want total reliability, IMHO you simply cannot go wrong with a Honda. Good hunting! Pinwheel 12
