Well i hunt the way you do aswell and your best bet for what your doing is 26" mudbugs 10 front &12" rears. This tire will do anything you want it to and is amazing in snow aswell. mudbugs is one of the best tires for floatation if not thee best. it also will hook up on everything you posted with no problem.

Status: online 		im gonna get the zilla on my 08 bigbear if that tells ya anything. the weight comparison between the zilla and other tires the zilla is the lightest. lighter means more horsepower. the 27" rear zilla is only 4lbs heavier than our stock mudlites, where a 27"mudlite is 10lbs heavier! thats an extra 6lbs a tire if you were considering the mudlites. the gators are 9lbs heavier than stock tires on the bb. take a closer look at the ZILLA!
