If you want a new utility cart for hunting or fishing, you are going to want a cart that can handle more than what is on the average golf course. Backwoods trails are harder to navigate than the manicured green lawns of the course. If you are shopping for a utility cart for yourself or your spouse to take into the woods, here are some tips for getting the right cart for the active sportsman or sportswoman.

  • Electric versus gas. In most cases, rugged terraine is better handled by a gas engine than an electric cart. However, electric engines are quieter for those headed into the woods to hunt. You will also want to consider how far and how long you will be using the cart; you don’t want to get stuck in the woods because the batteries run out of their charge.
  • Tire tread. For rough, muddy roads or traveling off-road, you will need tires with deeper tread and a cart with higher clearance. Larger wheels with rugged traction tires are a must for some areas.
  • Weather. If you will be using your cart in cold, wet weather, you may want to invest in some weather protection. You will need a roof and weather enclosure, plus a heater can be needed after a long, cold day in the woods.
  • Weight capacity. If you plan on hunting large game and bringing back your prize with your cart, consider the load and towing capacity. Two or three hunters and a deer on the back will require a large load capacity!

Make sure to talk to your local dealer about how you will be using your new cart. They can help you find the right cart for your sporting needs.
