    Hunting's Next Perversion

    Let's start a new season drone hunting. You think losing your 200 dollar trail cam was bad try losing your thousand dollar drone :-)

    My 5 year old is thinking about being a vegitarian

    Nothing like the power of bacon to entice a kid to eat meat. I'm going to remember that trick.

    What handheld GPS do you use and why?

    Plus one on smart phone I use one of my old touch screens with an extended battery. Way better than my old gps's.

    stolen trailer and rangers please help!!!!!

    I had my parents quad on a trailer for three days in my front yard while we were out in 10 on a late elk hunt. Couldn't use it on the ranch out there so we just left it at home. Nothing like coming home from a great thanksgiving weekend hunting elk and finding your quad and trailer just gone. Police said they couldn't do much. Put it on their stolen vehicle registry. No insurance on it so 5k just gone! Been a few years now never heard anything about it again. Angers me just thinking about it.I just want to move out of my house sometimes because I feel so violated. So I feel your pain. I hope you have better luck.

    Side by Side vs. Jeep/Suzuki Samurai/Trail rig

    I just sold my samurai after about a year of having it. I traded it for a arctic cat prowler. Good things about a samurai were kept you out of the elements and warm and it would probably go anywhere although I always felt like I was going to tip over in it. Bad things I was always fixing something, it was slower than molasses, it was rough riding unless you aired down your tires so you spent a lot of time airing up and down, and my wife thought it was a death trap but that's besides the point she's kind of a chicken :-) if you do decide on a Sammy don't get a carbed one I hated mine until I put fuel injection on it. I had a 1.3 stock engine and unless you plan on staying close to home you either need a lot of patience cruising speed around at 55 or get the bigger engine in it. I decided that for long distances it wasn't practical on top of it being slow I was worried about it breaking down on me so I was either going to have to trailer it or tow it. If that was the case I would rather haul a sxs around. As far as dust with sxs you do get dirtier but unless it's cold out and you have the Windows rolled up the samurai vacuumed in the dust quite a bit as well. Now the sxs isn't all roses. I traded for a used one and I've had to do a fair amount of work on it as well. It's cold in the winter. The sxs not only gets me around to hunting spots but also has a certain amount of fun factor to it which is why I switched. Does 55 down dirt roads like nobody's business not just on the pavement, power slide around corners, jump it, haul my kids around in the bed with bench seat, smooth ride down dirt roads. My two cents are if you are looking to put put around the woods staying warm and hauling gear Sami is for you (don't get me wrong I know some guys that do crazy things in their samurai but I think most find them selves in situation described above). If you want to do some recreational riding and hunting I chose the sxs. When its cold and raining I just stay in the truck. Got to have a reason to justify the truck anyway :-)

    living in my culvert?

    So my wife calls me in a panic (city girl but learning my hunting ways) says she just had a javelin sneak up on her while she goes out to the mail box in the middle of the day. The mail box is about 15 yards in front of my house in a populated neighborhood in prescott valley. She can have a bit of a wild imagination when it comes to wild animals.she proceeds to tell me how she's worried about our 3 year old coming out and getting torn to shreds or getting her leg taken off while she's trying to protect the two month old in her arms. I guess while she's contemplating her doom the javelina decides to meanders into our culvert and takes a nap. Hmmm if I thump him with my bow while he's taking a nap in my front yard is it poaching. I could say I was protecting my children from the impending doom :-)

    help track a lost buck

    Cool buck way to get it done!
  19. Funny I just had a hunt in Utah this last fall and I was saying how stupid it was that everyone didn't use sticky tags like AZ. So much for think AZ was so much better. We had two tags fall off from being tied on. We were trying to figure out how to sneak the deer home that were taken legally! We ended up after some frantic searching finding the tags. Cheaper is not always better!
