This is my son with his Moose. The Hoot ETV is carrying 4 bags with quarters, 2 with ribs, 1 with brisket, 3 with boned meat, horns, 2 pack frames, day pack with personal gear, bag of hunting gear, spare gas jug, rifle, winch, extra rope and cable, tool kit, 180 lb rider, and a few other miscellaneous things. Most items were weighed as it was unloaded and total load was close to 1,000 lbs. The Moose was shot above treeline and the Hoot had to come down a steep trail. It drove with out any problems, and the real amazing part is it could have carried more.
