Here is just one of the many hunting situations I've encountered that made this electric UTV shine for me... this spring I was hunting wild turkey on a 150 acre farm that I did not have a lot of time to scout. A couple turkeys gobbled, close to sunrise that morning, but I found myself at the wrong end of the farm and several hundred yards away, with only 10 or 15 minutes of "gray light" left until it would be too late to move at all. I jumped back on the Bad Boy and sped toward the gobbling birds through the hay fields, which I could hear gobbling as I raced toward them. I stopped about 150 yards from their estimated location, behind a small hill near a large pasture. Crawled to the top and stabbed a lone hen decoy in the ground and slid off to the side, hunkered down behind a small bush and tried to calm down. After waiting close to a half hour I started calling, very little and softly. Two gobblers immediately sounded off and the waiting game began. I gave one more soft call a few minutes later and they both came back with a loud gobble telling me they were much closer. I leveled off my Remington 1893 28 gauge and cocked the side lever. Both long beards stepped into view at 35 yards, I picked one out and the 28 did the rest. I may not have had an opportunity that morning, possibly, if I wasn't able to close the gap like I did.
