    We have been working out prices for some sort of off road transport, and 3 different modes would cost roughly the same per year, so the choices are

    1, Land Rover series 3, that can use 4% of public off road trails

    2, Trail bike, that can use 4% of public off road trails

    3, Or a horse that can use 49% of off road trails


    Which would you choose?

    Boots. I am guessing they can use 100% of off road trails.

    How can a trail bike cost as much as a horse or land rover? Just curious.

    I would choose the horse. Deer/Elk or not. I am not going home empty handed. You can't eat a Land Rover or a bike. Sorry this post is just kind of weird.... :)

    Well my choice would be a pair of size 13 boots, but of those three I would go for the land rover

    The main cost of a trail bike per year would be insurance, insurance over her is crazy.

    For example, I own a BMW that cost $750, the insurance on it costs $1500 per year

    Well a horse is a everyday cost. Providing an area and feed. Hunting is about enjoying outdoors. Get a nice pair of boots and get walking.
