The chill in the air has returned and sportsmen and women across the country are returning to the outdoors in full force, participating in fall hunting seasons. Also hitting the trails this fall is the 2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4. Yamaha’s newest side-by-side that was just released in September is unlike any other that we’ve seen on the market.
