Four-wheel drive trucks, ATVs and snowmobiles have become the modern-day packhorse for hunters. To pay tribute to the machines that get us into the wild and back again, we’re hosting an off-road photo contest. The winner gets a new BowTech Diamond Outlaw valued at $549.

Enter by uploading a photo of your best hunting and/or fishing off-road vehicle. We want deer in the back of pickups, quads decked out in camo, and sleds hauling ice shanties. If it has to do with hunting and fishing and involves and off-road vehicles, we want to see it!

Canol Trail ATV Adventure: Sunk!

Turning around is never easy.

The day after we called off the rest of the trip, we ferried our quads over the manageable braid in the Twitya. We winched the quads up that same dug-out hillside and started down the same trail that took us two previous weeks to cover.

Canol Trail ATV Adventure: A Busted Winch, Broken Trailer and Fine Backcountry Meal

High in the Mackenzie Mountains, we spent two nights in the same camp. It was a hard, but necessary, decision to make.

We had been on this adventure less than a few hours when I wrecked my winch. Winding it in without tension quickly formed a bird’s nest of heavy steel cable. Our trailers were also looking a little worse for the wear. Rated to 2,000 pounds, I figured they could take all Canol could throw at them. I was sorely mistaken. Only a few days in and the rubber bins were bending, the axel welds were coming apart and the dump truck-like release in the hitch was completely broken.

We’d need two days at the same camp just to manage these repairs.

Day two of our quad travel and we crossed over the territorial border, from the Yukon into the Northwest Territories. A wildlife check station marked the political divide—a small cabin, a few squat trailers and dozens of fuel drums scattered in the yard.

Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil

Are you using the right oil in your ATV?

Oil is often an afterthought for most ATVers, but it can actually make or break your machine. Obviously you wouldn’t run your quad without oil in it (because you wouldn’t make it too far), but should you use synthetic oil, or will conventional oil do the trick?
