Tips for Hunting with Your Side-by-Side

Choose the Right UTV

For your hunting trips, you will need a side-by-side that’s robust and can handle a variety of different types of terrain. Think about the locations (rough, muddy areas, and slopes) you would want to explore and narrow down your choices. You may also want to look at the UTV models that offer better hauling capacities and those that can accommodate extra passengers you plan to bring along on the trips.

You may also want to invest in a few essential accessories to enhance your hunting experience. This can include a winch and tow straps, LED lights, and a gun scabbard.

Wear Proper Gear

Wear comfortable and protective clothing during the trips and ensure your passengers do that, too. A long-sleeve shirt, pants, goggles, gloves, a helmet, and a sturdy pair of shoes will keep you comfortable and ready for the trip. You’ll also want to wear a durable riding jacket and a bright-colored vest to make yourself visible to others in the area.

Know the Rules

Every state has different hunting rules. You may need the necessary permits before you plan a trip. Consult the authorities at the wildlife management agency in your state to know the basics and obtain the required permits/licenses.

If you are hunting on private property, get yourself familiarized with the property lines and act responsibly.

Enjoy a Safe Hunting Experience

Prioritize your safety and that of the passengers riding with you over everything else. Never drink or use drugs before riding your side-by-side. Maintain a slow speed as you enter the woods and ensure that you handle the weapons safely and responsibly.

Additional Tips for Successful Hunting

To maximize the benefits of using your UTV for hunting, remember the following:

• Keep the noise levels as low as possible.
• Maintain the engine at a low RPM to prevent loud engine revs.
• Scout the location well in advance so you avoid wandering off.

Use these tips to find and hunt good game on your next hunting trip.
