We’ve had good success by just getting off the road and hiking back a short distance where the road and quads hunters see nothing. Quads are very useful for getting game out,which is really what I want,can’t throw a buck over my shoulders and hike out like I used to. I do admit enjoying the quiet of hunting in a no vehicle area,nothing more annoying than getting up early,hiking back only to be passed by some noisy off road motor bike.Those old Honda 110s were perfect for getting back in the bush ,not sure what replaced them,or whether we will see electric off road bikes in the near future.
