Polaris UTV negotiation

i'm a western city slicker bruh

Sometimes they are unnecessary but when you need one but don’t have one, that can be super frustrating. As with all things, having the right tool for the job is awesome and can make or break a hunt. Hauling them to and from the hunt area is pita imo however

My thinking is that if you don’t buy a $21k tool you will never plan a hunt where you need a $21k tool

Good point. Little scouting can go a long ways. I have a 2006 Arctic Cat 650. Paid $4k for it. Just like vehicles lots of different options for different budgets

If I could swing it I'd park mine right next to a helicopter...and sleep like a baby. ; )

Some recent math I just did when planning for this years elk hunt looked like this:

No UTV
18mpg/5,000 miles @ $3.60/gal = $1000

Towing a UTV
10 mpg/5,000 miles @ $3.60/gal = $1800

Solution
Rent a UTV and trailer near my unit from Sept 13-26 for $900 and not spend $21k on a UTV.

Make an offer. Be prepared to walk away. MTG

Shart is never ever a noun

Is ShartNado a catastrophe? I've seen things that would freak a lesser man out yet it all began innocently enough with gambling on a fart after a bout with diarrhea. That cascaded to everyone else in the elevator then as we emerged the unsuspecting people in the lobby were pulled into the swirling eye of the ShartNado and honestly by then it was going to grow city-wide and not diminish until passed over the wilderness two states to the east. Lord have mercy, we were mere boys in some ways.

Bought a 2023 can am in February tried to offer 500 below msrp they came back with counter offer of different atv’s that were less expensive. Bit my tongue and bought the one I wanted at msrp price.

Also, better to negotiate at the end of a month - sometimes there are internal bonuses and other incentives for the sellers that can persuade a seller to allow better deals at the end. I am fairly sure that when I said I would pay in full before the 31st even though the accessory adds wouldn’t be done until a few days after that it got me the last bit of movement.

Did you buy it yet?

Not gonna lie, I didn’t complain when my hunting buddy dropped a bunch of coin on a SxS and some tracks. He has way deeper pockets than this cat.

It opened up a tremendous amount of spring bear and late season bird opportunities.

I probably read right over your post because I was laughing at Harley giving a noun vs verb lesson.

My dad has a Ranger. I love using that thing. Really came in handy on my Nevada deer hunt a few years ago in that I was able to take it way back on roads that I would NOT drive my truck on. It allowed me to hike back and day hunt in areas that I’d otherwise have to backpack into to access, and I was all alone back in there. It was awesome.

I would gladly lose 5% on any deal to get someone wearing jorts out of my office.

Nice work @VikingsGuy , not much worse than vehicle shopping.

Last day of the month, walk in 15 min before they close and follow @Ben Lamb list.

The only thing better than cheap beer is free beer

Or something like that

I’ll be in the market for a SxS soon. I just bought the truck rack so I’m ready. We’ll see how this thing works
