Another vehicle that I have long been toying with the thought of up here are the little "Kei" trucks imported from Japan.
Extremely small and essentially powered by motorcycle engines, they would be (& are) perfect for general agricultural uses (which they dominate in the rest of the world). Extremely fuel-efficient, 4x4, with heat, AC, and even windshield wipers they are far-superior to the mostly-silly ORVs you see being built here these days. They have been kept out of this country by very serious lobbying (because they threaten the truck "rice bowl" of the American automakers) but they are slowly making inroads here.
For hunting vehicles I'd guess that they'd be almost unbeatable. From what I understand, they are dirt cheap and very easy to keep.
If I didn't already have so-many old 4x4 vehicles up here...
