Hunting Accessories For Your ATV

Many hunting enthusiasts rely on their ATVs. The quads help them scope out the ideal hunting location in much less time and effort than it would take on foot. It also helps them transport their trophy with ease to their tow vehicle. If you find you use your ATV while hunting often, it can be worth investing in some ATV accessories! We rounded up the most essential hunting accessories to get for your quad below. For everything related to quads, visit 2Brothers Powersports in Onalaska, Wisconsin. We proudly serve those in La Crosse, Madison, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin and Rochester, Minnesota.

Gun Scabbard

You need some method of safely transporting your weapon while you ride your quad. You can't very well hold it with one hand while you attempt to steer your ATV with the other. Many riders find it problematic to sling it over their shoulders while riding their quads as it can be quite distracting. Tossing it loosely into the vehicle's storage area can result in scratching it up or knocking the sighting out of place.

The best approach is to invest in a gun scabbard. This keeps your weapon secure as you drive to and from your hunting destination. You can also get a front gun rack. This attaches to the front of ATVs to give riders quick and easy access. Just make sure you look for one that is cushioned to give better protection for your gun.

Lights

The default lighting on quads is often not as bright as needed for hunting purposes. Manufacturers commonly choose the cheapest option to install. The issue is that you need great lighting so that you can be seen by others and spot obstacles up ahead.

LED lighting is the best visibility option. It does cost more money upfront, but in the long run, it ends up being the most cost-effective. You have to replace them much less often, so it ends up being cheaper. They also provide a brighter beam while also using less energy. Whether you like to ride at dusk or just want to boost your vision for safety, better lights will improve your ride.

Rope & Tie Downs

Rope and tie downs are very useful for riding ATVs. When you catch your trophy, you will want some way to keep it secure on your quad. You can use rope and tie downs to help keep it secure on your ATV bed. You can also use them to connect up your hunting platform to a tree during the hunt. These are just a few of the many, many uses for this simple accessory.

GPS

Even people with the best senses of directions can find they struggle with navigating while riding ATVs. After all, you are in the deep backwoods. You don't have street signs and easily identifiable landmarks to help you. A tree looks pretty much like every other tree; it's all too easy to get lost. A GPS helps you easily navigate throughout the land so you will always know where you are (without the risk of losing reception as you do with your phone's GPS). You can also use it to mark your favorite spots to come back to later.
