Are you in the market for a hunting vehicle for your next excursion? Plenty of options are available, but which off-road vehicles make hunting easier? We tackle that question and more in our exploration of off-road vehicle options for hunters!
Off-Road Vehicle Options for Hunters
Luckily for hunters, there are many options for their next hunting trip. The most common off-road hunting vehicles for hunters include:
- 4×4 pickup trucks
- All-terrain vehicles (ATVs)
- Utility task vehicles (UTVs)
- Electric golf carts
Each vehicle has its advantages—while a pickup truck isn’t as nimble as smaller UTVs or ATVs, it offers more space and can tackle heavy-duty terrain. ATVs and UTVs are similar, but while ATVs are for tackling all terrain, UTVs are easier and safer to drive and include comforts like enclosed roofs and windshields. However, while ATVs and UTVs typically dominate this space, electric golf carts are quickly becoming favored options for hunters.
Why Electric Hunting Carts Make Hunting Easier
Electric hunting carts are relatively new to the hunting scene but have quickly become popular options for many hunters. The most attractive qualities of golf carts for hunting are their quiet utility, affordability, and customizable versatility.
Quiet Utility
One of the reasons electric hunting carts make hunting easier as an off-road vehicle is their quiet utility. Since they’re electrically powered, these golf carts hardly make any noise while on the trail—ideal for hunters who don’t want to spook wild game.
This is a huge difference between electric hunting carts and ATVs, as anyone who has driven an ATV knows these vehicles are extremely noisy. An electric golf cart is a hunter’s best bet for a quiet, useful hunting vehicle.
Affordability
Another attractive quality of electric hunting carts is their sticker price. While a new ATV and UTV can be expensive, electric golf carts are much more plentiful and are typically more affordable. While a standard golf cart needs modifications before it’s off-road ready, hunters can find affordable, lightly used models and equip them with the adjustments they need.
Customizable
Hunters also enjoy the customizable nature of electric golf carts. Since they’re so fundamentally and structurally sound, they’re easy to modify with the tools and equipment hunters need.
Want to experience the thrill of elk hunting? Swap out rear seating and storage for a larger cargo bed for carrying game easily. Going bow hunting? Add a bow holder or basket to the golf cart with minimal fuss.
