Golf cart for hunting-yes or no?

I'm thinking about buying a golf cart to hunt on. Not a bad boy, just regular cart with 6" lift and all terrain tires. I have a kawasaki mule but just thinking the quiet will help out. Can anyone tell me if it's worth it or not?

Depends on your track and what you're chasing

How far you going and how muddy does it get

Definitely the shite if you hunt on high hard ground.
If you need a 4x4 fourwheeler to get there, forget about it with the golf cart. They're heavy as hell.

A golf cart is deadly for doe extermination and pretty good for traversing the turkey woods. Things that drain batteries:
Long trips
Heavy mud
Hills
Oversized motor controller
They are great until the battery goes dead.

This has been my experience with them as well.
The 2 times I had to walk back, there wasn't much warning from the battery indicator. It dropped from 1/2 battery to zero battery quite quickly.

They're nice if you have the right terrain - high, flat, dry - and they dont have much of that around here.

I say absolutely not. I hate them. The batteries are expensive as frick and you have to replace them every few years depending on use.

You would shite yourself when it comes time to buy new batteries. Also after a while, the diodes in the chargers are prone to going out, leaving you with a repair bill or a new charger.
ATV runs out of gas in the woods - you can get more gas somehow.
Golf Cart runs out of juice in the woods, there isnt a damn thing you can do.

They have there place but I also don't find them to be as quiet as people think they are. I have been picked up by a few from hunting stands and I could hear it coming from a good ways off. Its not a motor noise but you can hear them coming from a good ways off.
