I used these for the first time this fall. They work great.

It won’t be long odds for my camp. We’re on private family land in Madison Parish and are covered up with bears. Ground zero. If a season opens, there’ll be a tag for that property.
I’m back from a September hunt in Arizona. The amount of UTV usage is ridiculous. They can be a great tool for hunting, but the amount of joy riders is nuts.
I hunted the entire archery season. Missed a small six point.
Similar to your experience, but not as severe. It does seem that everyone in Arizona has at least three UTVs.
