    Re: Leaving your ATV while you hike in

    Never had an issue but doesn’t mean I won’t, in any case where we stop is usually pretty remote so never see a soul
    I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...

    If it has a winch, winch it around a tree right up to the bumper, then as suggested above, pull fuses, use a chain or lock. Another idea is have a remote battery switch (unless it has a pull cable), or a remote shut off valve for fuel (works for trucks as well)
    Cheers

    nothing wrong with a good hunt up sylvester...hucklberrys cutthroat trout backtails and black bears..once you pass the gravel pit any of the deacitvated roads should be fine....once you hike the timber behind the slash its all good..
    you can hit alpine in a few spots if you want to hike and although you cant hunt them many goats...half the blacktails i ever ate came from thete...its only the last whil dirr bags dumped garbage there.

    Put an electric fence around it for the bears they like chewing on the seat.

    I try to leave my quad in a place where it is not highly visible. I also gps it as I am getting older and have drank a lot of beer from aluminum cans. Realistically, if someone wants your rig a cordless angle grinder will make short work of lock or cable.

    I am generally hunting too far back to worry about scumbags. I leave it out in the open, That way they wont know how close I am. Have some faith in your fellow hunters, We have been helping each other for years.

    With the greatest respect to those of you who do really park and hike, I have to say you must hide your quads really good because in 50 years of hunting I have never seen a parked one yet.
