Great looking buck. Congrats to the wife

One more thing. I do not know if you are getting the the tire bonnets with the rack? But if your not you can buy them at bulldog Here is a link. http://bulldogatv.com/#!/ATV-UTV-Tire-Bonnets-Set-of-Two/p/49424997/category=12802577 They cost 45.00 for a set of 2. I use two sets when I haul my 2 grizzly's. one on the front and one on the opposite side back tire. As far as driving them up you can do it on the flat ground. My son does this, but I am a little older and a little smarter, OK maybe it is called little more fear. LOL Yes going up when the tires are muddy can be a Little hairy. I would much rather be on a slight incline. to get those ramps a little more horizontal. Going down the ramp is no big deal. I believe my ramps are 10 feet as well and they fold up and stow under the 4 wheeler. I also put a lock and cable around the 4 wheeler and rack. You never know. Here is a pic of the ramps down and unloading. Hope this helps

Who knows maybe they will turn Bass pro into a fishing store, while cabelas turns into more of a hunting store. Some of the stores are pretty close together. there still both blood sports though. Right. Kinda weird thinking of hunting and fishing of a blood sport.

I have owned one for about 4 years. Never have had a problem with it at all. It stays right where I chain it down. I put two 700 grizzly's on the rack and I still have room under it for alot of gear. I also tow my little Tacoma on a car hauler to get around and I stuff the Tacoma as well. I would recommend it. Things to be aware of, It is a pretty wide unit. also the 4 wheelers are up there a ways so i always try to put my wheels in a ditch to bring the 4 wheelers a little closer to the ground. Also we put air bags on the truck and it maid the ride alot more stable. Thats alot of weight up in the air. Good luck with it.

A big congrats on an awesome buck

Congrats on an awesome buck

Archery elk season has come and gone. My wife and I had a great time on her hunt. We did not kill that big one that we were after but she ended up killing her first elk. I was able to go up early and set camp up and scout for her a week before the season would start. With camp set in place and trail cameras set up I took off to do some of my own scouting. I was checking different ares and soon had a small hit list. These are a couple pictures of bulls I was able to get pictures of. I found my self on a little hill one evening looking for elk 3 days before the season. I was working my way around the top of the hill when I spotted this antelope out about one mile. It was acting very distraught lifting its legs up and down ect.?? He was out in the open and was looking towards the woods. So i looked in the woods and out to the other side of the wooded section. And I see a cougar out in the this big open flat. The cougar had a freshly killed antelope in its mouth and was dragging it off towards the wooded area. I was in augh. I have hunted for a good numbers of years. I have never seen anything like this. It was like watching Nat. Geo. on tv. The following day I went to town picked up a cougar tag and was back out there with a friend and with dogs. We quickly found the spot where I saw the cougar go in the night before. When we went in the cougar was still on the kill but it ended up being a mom with kittens not a tom. So while my buddy was pulling the dogs off I quickly switched my weapon out to my camera and took a couple of Pictures. Though I did not get a tom it was a incredible experience. But now I had to turn my thoughts back to the elk hunt and scouting for elk. By the opening day we had found some bigger bulls and we found our selves going after these bulls. We had a couple of 350 class bulls that we were after. I had my wife on them several times at 30 and 35 yards. and once we had the bull at 25 chasing cows in front of her. It was in the thick stuff and was not able to get the shot off. How frustrating to have them this close to see antlers feet but no shot opportunities. selfie By day 11 we changed our tactics and went after a bull that was on our hit list. This bull was showing up at a tank so we went and sat for the night. We had 5 small bulls come in that night all were 3 to 5 pointers. Renee passed on all of these bulls. The next morning we were up by 3 and sitting on a different tank. We had planned on sitting the whole day there. Around 7.30 we had a 6x6 bull come in. he came straight in and started to drink. Renee pulls her bull and the bull does not offer a shot so Renee let down it appeared that the bull caught some movement and took off running. Five minutes later the bull comes back in with four cows. this time he took a different route and offered Renee a standing broad side shot at 40 yards. One hour later we found ourselves standing next to her bull. Selfie I have to give Renee alot of credit. She is a trooper getting up early every day passing on elk. Though we did not kill the big one We had a blast. I would not take anything away from it. Cant wait till we get drawn again. Sorry to be long winded

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the positive responses!, it was an awesome experience! The elk hunt to the cougar photo shoot. After we called the dogs off and put away, I put up a trail cam on the cougar kill. After a few days I went back to check it. Ended up with some neat footage. Here is a short video I got on my trail cam.

Hey Tom Welcome to the site. Great place to meat people and get info. Will miss you up here in WA, but I would love to be moving to AZ as well.
