What Can-Am equipment is best for hunting?
Best Can-Am Models for Hunting
Here are two standout vehicles:
Can‑Am Outlander Pro Hunting Edition HD7
This ATV is specially built for hunting: 13″ (33 cm) ground clearance, full skid plates, heavy duty bumpers, strong tires, winch included.
The “Hunting Edition” trim makes it easier out of the box: camo finishes, accessories already built in.
Good choice if you need a solo or single-seat machine that can go deep off the trail.
Can‑Am Outlander Mossy Oak Hunting Edition
This one is a bit older, but designed specifically for hunters (co-branded with Mossy Oak camouflage).
Features meant for hunting: gun-boots/gun storage built in, extra protection (skid plates, heavy duty tires), camo finish to blend in.
Good option if you find one used in good condition (though you asked about “best” so new models might serve better).
Why these are good for hunting:
Can-Am’s hunting-specific vehicles have off-road durability, high ground clearance, good wheel travel, strong engines and dedicated hunting trims.
Accessories and built-in features matter: gun storage, cargo racks for game, winches for recovery or hauling game.
Camouflage and stealth options help keep from spooking game.
🔧 Useful Can-Am Accessories for Hunting
Besides the vehicle itself, here are accessories that make a big difference:
Here’s a quick overview:
Can‑Am Cargo Bed Winch (for Defender): A winch is one of the most useful accessories for hunting. Pulling out stuck machine, hauling heavy game, dealing with rough terrain.
Can‑Am Defender Ultimate Bed Rack: Extra cargo space means you can haul more gear or the day’s harvest without stuff flying everywhere.
Can‑Am Hunting Dual Gun Holder Kit: Keeps rifles/shotguns safe, accessible, secure — very practical.
Can‑Am In‑Bed Gun Rack: Additional secure gun storage in the bed space; useful if you’re hauling multiple firearms or bulky gear.
Hornet Outdoors Bow/Gun/Tool Mount (Can‑Am): For those hunting with bows, or carrying tools/gear besides firearms.
Can‑Am Defender Game Loader Rack: Designed to haul big game more easily — strong rack, adequate space for loaded deer/elk/boar.
🎯 My Recommendation & What to Choose Based on Need
If you’re hunting alone or with one partner, and terrain is rough (deep woods, steep, off-trail) → go for the Outlander Pro Hunting Edition (HD7) or something similar.
If you already own a Can-Am or can find a good deal on a “Hunting Edition” trim (like the Mossy Oak) → that’s fine and built for purpose.
If you care a lot about gun/bow storage, hauling capacity for big game, gear storage, make sure you budget for the accessories too (gun racks, winch, bed rack).
Consider what type of hunting you do: Are you mostly trail riding to stands? Going deep backcountry? Hauling large game? The machine should match the use case.
