Hunter Uses ARGO From Coast to Coast

When New Jersey resident Michael Lamp saw his first ARGO at an off-road ATV Rally in 1976 it was love at first site. Despite being a paraplegic and only having $500 to his name, Mike was determined to get his hands on one. He went immediately to his closest dealer who gave him a great deal on one of the first ARGO’s ever made. Nearly 35 years since that day, Mike continues to be a loyal customer. Having hunted all over North America, Mike credits his incalculable game successes to the ARGO’s incredible perseverance in the toughest situations. One instance in particular stands out in Mike’s mind as a scenario in which no other off-road ATV could have done the job. On a 1999 moose hunt, Mike and his group were 18 km off the trail, deep into the Newfoundland bush. Mike had just shot a bull moose at the top of a steep hill and was apprehensive about retrieving his catch. Never one to back down from a challenge, Mike tactfully maneuvered his ARGO up the steep vertical ascent and was easily able to recover his prize.

Newfoundland however, is not the only treacherous environment Mike has ventured into with his beloved ARGO. From coast to coast, New Hampshire to New Mexico Mike boasts of the incredible 68 big game animals he has caught in his trusty ARGO. While he no longer has that first model purchased way back in 1976, Mike continues to upgrade with every model Ontario Drive & Gear (ODG) has introduced. “I just love how they consistently improve it each time they release a new model,” Mike remarks when asked of his incessant vehicle upgrading. Venturing forth on yet another big game hunt later this month, Mike evokes nothing but self-confidence when questioned on his latest trek. “I have the utmost respect for the ARGO, they’ve never let me down and better yet, they’ve never left me stranded in the woods”!
