Unfortunately, it's not street legal.  Note all the mention about factory and farm use.  Been there, done that, stopped short of needing to buy the tee-shirt.

also Ive seen ATV's tear up trails worse than trail trucks, here at spider lake its mostly atv trails with a few truck trails, you can see the atv's tearing up the trails all over the place... funny too cause minnesota bends over backwards for the atv's but not the trucks....  ::)

Funny, when it comes to tearing up the trail, here in jersey the groups of horseback riders do a hellova lot more damage to the trails than any atv, mc or legal off road vehicle. Where I go trailing the trails are so chopped up from hoof prints it'll rattle every bolt loose in your rig, not to mention you fillings!

YES!! some trails around here are just destroyed from horses.  Right after it rains, they go out to give there horses some exercise and just destroy the trails.  very very bumpy, makes some gnarly soup holes thou hahha

We have driven the Tracker on some ATV trails.  They can get a bit tight going through the brush, but not anything the Tracker can't handle.  The ATVs tend to blast through them at higher speeds than we do, but I really don't think that speed is that much of an advantage. 

The real advantage is that since we are street legal, we don't need to trailer our off road vehicle out there.  In fact, we tow the camper with the Tracker, wheel and camp, and then tow the camper back home.   Can't do that with a Quad.

If you can legally drive a Zuk on the trails/roads to get to your hunting spot I would highly recomend it. You can take a damn near stock Zuk. put lockrites in the front and rear and get to most hunting spots.

Before I tortured myself with a move to Florida. I took the Kick hunting while all of the rest of the group I hunted with brought their ATV's (Rhinos, Sportsman, Grizzlys etc....) I would driv ein as far as I wanted without disrupting the deer at 4 am, hike the last bit and ALWAYS beet the quads to the tree. The time you save loading/unloading, straping your stand/bow/gun to the atv, driving out , etc..... You can hav eit all in the back of the Zuk and only stop to lock in the hubs.

I would usually take my quad out to scout the hunting areas prior to season, but it stayed home on hunting day.

The second best option I have used was a Yamaha Rhino. A great little 2 person hunting buggy (but once again, you've got to haul it to the trail.

Rhinos are the next best thing, you can trick them out more than a zuk.
We have a local quad pro around here Dana Creech, hes always on TV OLN, Speed, all those good chanels.  But he has the world record for jumping a rhino...80 FEET!!!
