Mrs Walter offered to buy me one for Father’s Day.
Not sure which I want for hunting and riding off road on BLM lands in n WA, OR and ID.
Suggestions on what to get and what to avoid?
When I lived in AK I pretty much lived out of my ATV for hunting each year, but that was a while back.

That’s why we have Honda motorcycles.
Which Honda ATV?
Or which other brands and models?

'90s Honda manuals were good. New buy Yamaha. If you're hauling on a trailer and don't need something for narrow trails, look at utvs.

Or which other brands and models? Rubicon. The independent suspension makes a big difference. 3500# winch.

Rode polaris for years.
Really like this Artic Cat 550 that I have now.
Much simpler than the polaris.

My Honda Rancher is 20 years old. Still runs great!

My Honda Rancher is 20 years old. Still runs great! I can say the same - well built machine - but my 350 Rancher is not very easy to work on. If new, I probably would be looking for a Yamaha Grizzly.

Honda I have a 99 Foreman still running. When I was still working in the Oil Patch, I'm Oil field trash, ran a 2006 500 Foreman for 22,000 miles only major repair was replacing 3rd gear, the other well Tender had 18,000 on his. Company replaced them with Polaris Rangers, they were junk.
Go with Honda ATV or UTV.

The older polaris bikes were more reliable.

I would get either a Yamaha or a Honda depending on what you can find out there right now, but I would get power steering on whatever I found. I have 2 700 Grizzlys along with a 420 Rancher and a 500 Foreman.

I looked at one, and really wanted it, but my 2006 Rancher keeps going and going... They're all great, especially those old FourTrax. The only thing that sets the Rubicon apart is the suspension and power steering. Considering where the OP is, it's probably worth it. It's worth it here in the land of skidder ruts.
