First off I agree Danner makes the best hunting rig, and further more I do not condone any type of off road vehicles off the trail. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, I'm kicking around the idea of getting a Polaris RZR and I remember a post from a while ago that a bunch of members commented on. It appears that a few of you are using the RZR for hunting and I would like to hear the good, bad and any thing else you want to share.
I'm trying to decide on the 50 incher or the S model. I'm really tall and trying to sit in the 50 inch model is a little difficult from when I have sat in them in the showroom. The S model, sitting a little taller is easier for me to get in and out. My use would be mainly for antelope and bear hunting on two track roads that beat up a truck. Also my girl friend is wanting to tag along on more trips and riding on the back of a wheeler hurts her back, so she is really the one that wants a RZR.
I remember a 50 inch trail marker up by Strawberry and I understand there are more of those restricted trails in central Utah so I would probably like to stick with the 50 inch model. Have any of you guys tried a lift kit which I believe would give me the S model height.
Also what about the lack of engine brake? From experience my old sportsman sucked with out the engine brake. One last thing how about reliabilty issues and a machine with a thousand or a couple thousand miles on it? My sportsman is ten years old with 5,000 miles and I have had zero issues with it. Of course when I bought that one they talked me in to the extended warranty and I never used it once.
Sorry for all the questions but I figured I would like to hear from people that would use the machine like I would.
