That's cool.
Too bad it has no place to carry a dead elk or moose.

Not enough power, weight or traction to drag one, either - but, looks like fun! No reason it would not be made larger and more powerful.

I surely wouldn't trade my John Deere 4X6 Gator for one. Since I have been crippled with neuropathy in both legs, I have had to depend on it to get me back and forth to my ground blind and to carry all my gear. It transported a passenger and his gear and the deer as well and has plenty of traction to get through the slimiest mud hole. There was no indication of how this new vehicle would handle deep mud or snow and ice.

This tech will soon swing to other sized units,carrying SAS troops/ GB`s into back country for all sorts of reasons.
No reason why you couldnt make a unit to carry a 50BMG!

This particular vehicle would not 'handle' deep mud or snow. The concept though, as Gryphon says, could be awesome.

An 8 wheel Argo suits me fine. 18" tracks round out an already formidable machine. Mud, swamps, snow, hills, brush, rocks, ....... and it floats!!
Funny enough, a PH I hunted with halfway around the world in the Caprivi had one, thus I was exposed to my first ride in an Argo. I liked it so much, I ended up buying one when my knee quit a year after returning from overseas. The factory that builds them is only about 45 minutes from where I live...serendipity.
