ATV Hunting Setup - My Quadbike Build and Details - Suzuki King Quad

This ATV hunting setup video is a walk around and description of how I have built up my new hunting ATV quadbike. Hopefully it will help others who own, or plan to own and hunt off an ATV quadbike. It's certainly a topic I have been asked about on my previous Honda hunting quadbike. I figured when I purchased this newer 2017 Suzuki King Quad 500 AXI that it would be a good chance to show you guys and gals the rig.
The setup works for me, It's not a huge change from the last ATV quadbike I'd owned for 12 years.

    Some great tips there for quad bike riders it's the best set up i have seen. I have been shooting from a rest like yours for years now there (unbeatable) and that muffler is brilliant i switched over to farm bikes for the same reason (deadly quiet) your experience shows. Most riders underestimate the stealth aspect. Nice work

    Thanks mate. Yeah I think the noise aspect is even more important with ATV's and Side by Sides getting bigger engines with more noise. Especially when the farmers are often shooting themselves off the buggies and the critters now associate the 4 stroke engines with BAD stuff.

I have tried to use a quad bike but spend more time opening and closing Gates so now i just lamp on foot. How many Acres or hectares do you have permission to shoot over and is this your full time job?
