My hunting buddy and I looked and looked at ATVs. We finally settled on the Honda, actually we got 3 of them, one 300 and two 250s, all 2 wheel drive. We hunt the swamps, creeks and clay mud of NW Florida and south Alabama. We have never had a problem and never needed a 4 wheel drive, never got one stuck.
In Idaho where you will be climbing hills and rocks, you might have a need for the 4 wheel drive version. The big thing about the Honda is the hydrostatic clutch and thumb throttle on the right handlebar. You can also get to just about every thing on it, without standing on your head and making three wishes.
My lastest ATV is a 48 Volt Club Car, it does about 20mph and is real comfortable. But is is a trail vehicle, not much for through the woods as it is pretty wide. but it sure is quiet.
