While there are many ways to use your ATV or UTV, you might be most interested in hunting. Hunting is already a fantastic way to spend the weekend, but it can be even better if it’s easier to reach your preferred hunting location. Powersports vehicles can also make it easier to move locations if one ends up being too quiet, while also offering a way to transport all your supplies to your destination. But a hunter always comes prepared with the right tools, and that applies to your ATV or UTV as well.
To help you out, Bright Power Sports has provided a list of gear to help you upgrade your machine and making it the perfect hunter’s assistant. You can also stop by our location in Lincoln Park, Michigan, for more tips and even to check out our ATVs and UTVs for sale. We proudly serve those in Detroit and Wayne County.
Whether you go hunting on foot, hunting with an ATV or hunting with a UTV, safety should always be your top concern. When storing your weapons, you need to prioritize a few things: it needs to be secure, accessible, and out of the way. Guns and bows can be a little bulky, so fulfilling all these needs can be tricky, which is why you’ll want a gun scabbard or front gun rack. These are specifically designed for guns, and a bow rack will offer the same advantages for bow hunters.
Some ATVs and UTVs come with their own lights, but if yours doesn’t, then you might want to add them. Even if you don’t intend on hunting at night--which we don’t recommend anyway--it’s better to be prepared than to be caught off guard by a particularly gloomy evening. Plus, it just makes it easier for other hunters to see you.
A winch is a great tool to have anyway. They’re good for getting you out of a pickle and can make loading your ATV or UTV onto a trailer easier. When you’re hunting, they can help you get heavy game up onto your machine so you can easily take it back to basecamp.
Many hunting grounds won’t let you hunt from your ATV or UTV, which would take the fun out of the hunt anyway. You’ll probably end up parking it and going the rest of the way on foot. If you don’t want your machine to stick out like a sore thumb, then you’ll want a camouflage cover to help it blend in with it’s surroundings.
Rope is simply a good tool to have in general. In the woods, on the road, wherever you go. Out hunting, you can use it and some tie-downs to make transporting game easier, secure a hunting platform, and more.
While your ATV and UTV provide plenty of cargo space, you might find you want even more. This can help give you more storage solutions and also help you stay organized. A storage box can also be a good addition.
Using a map and compass is still a classic way to figure out where you’re going, and in a survival situation, an essential skill to have. However, when you’re just out enjoying some recreational hunting, modern technology can help you navigate a landscape without directional signs and keep you from getting lost. You can use the one in your phone, or get something more reliable.
These are just a few ways you can improve your hunting experience, but there are many more. But first, you’re going to need the right ATV or UTV. If you’re still searching, then stop by Bright Power Sports and let one of our experienced staff give you the full tour. We proudly serve Lincoln Park, Detroit, and Wayne County, Michigan.
