After 35 years of hunting with a horse. I think I'll stick with the horse.

Quad.

Haulin gas once a year is fine. Cleaning horse dung 365 is not....

Besides, once you have the quad, a snow plow is just the thing for Canadian Winters.

Witch would you want for in the woods? A horse, a Quad or a Jeep ?

Maybe try the witch and her broom,they won't get stuck

Have a quad and put it to good use. I am allergic to animal dander quite bad but still I wish I could have done some back country trips on horses.
There is no limit where you can go with a horse in FLUZ zones. With determination you can get a long ways on foot and not worry about any of the hassles.

Quad for me!!! I love my Honda with mudlites and a winch no problems I would love to go on a horse back hunt someday though. The old bushman my Dad bought his camp off of in N.Ont. shot over 40 moose from horseback.

Horse,then I don't have to haul all that dam gas.

if you haul oats your opinion will change

I like the idea of hunting from horse back but I don't want to own one. I don't have to feed my Jeep when I don't use it.

You guys ever think what the horse will do when you fire a Gun off his back??? JITC

You get to have your very own personal rodeo with you as the starring saddle bronc rider...

(It depends on the horse.)

Most horses would freak out an buck you off or just bolt.

Those of us who ride and have conditioned our horses to gun fire won't have the slighest problem.

2-3 horses can drag any downed beast out of the bush no problem., done it before and will do it again.

rightly so- some ponies you shoot from the back while mounted, some not- it helps if they're deaf or used to loud noises like traffic- it's the reins that give guideance to the horse- by the same token, that darned fool animal can wander into the shot

I'll walk in. Good pair of boots and a backpack costs a whole wack less than any other options. Minimal maint costs too.

I agree... and a man on foot is free to set his own path, and can get almost anywhere ( given a little more time, I admit )

OKH

i prefer my feet. that said, a quad is great for getting to the trailhead or retrieving game in a lot of country. horses can't be beat for game retrieval in rougher country though or for packing in luxuries.

maybe the best thing in the mountains might be to lead a mule like those old prospectors used to.

 

[okanagan hiker]

Or maybe 2 or 3 big dogs, with packs, to carry your gear ( and their own food, etc )

 

[killswithkimber]

A horse no gas , and get into way more places

 

[BC Bigbore]

Some of us have all our bases covered because...

...no motorized vehicles allowed here...

...quicker to use the quad at home than saddling up our horses...

...but sometimes our Sahara YJ has it's place too...

...and then there's always the old pickup/quad combo...

...and of course my future son-in-law's method...

Heck guys, they all work so I enjoy 'em all

 

[savage express]

That is some quad deck you have there BC Bigore.
Trailer hitch NUTS would have been enough.

Yep, Your horse says AYE?? instead of Neigh when you talk to him.

The rider that tries this learns a lesson he can learn no other way.
