I've got 2 different sets of aftermarket lights, but he didn't install them either.

I'm not mad at that either. Have any other angles?

Thats what I had on my Ranger, and while it carried the gun and protected it from dust, I feel as though it didn't offer much actual protection. However, that might be the way I go if I can't get the gun boot attached to the rzr.

This year yielded an alarming low number of bucks, let alone mature bucks. This is spanning from October deer hunt, November deer hunt, and four days spent chasing pigs with my son. I am genuinely concerned about the number of bucks seen, this is as bad as it has ever been. There was a big fire in one of my spots so I definitely take that into consideration, however my two other main spots don't see much pressure, nor were they effected by the burn. One spot was a completely dry hole, the other we saw a couple of mature bucks, but not nearly the norm. Has hunter success gotten to the point where it is having a meaningful impact on overall coues numbers, or was the summer THAT bad that the horn growth was extremely affected? What did everyone else see on their hunt? A big thing we noticed (besides the overall lack of bucks), was what appeared to be a missing age class. We saw little bucks, or decent bucks. IF I recall, we only saw one or two in the 60-80" range.

About 5 years ago and one of my spots, which is my best spot, my buddy and I last 22 bucks between 70 and 80 in. One day I had a buddy of mine set up on a 115 and he didn't get it. An hour later my other buddy killed a 108 and just moving 45° where we were glassing. And this year in that same spot we couldn't find schit. Just observations and conversation my guy. -

It's not that I didn't kill. It's what I didn't see while trying to kill one. -
Reliable mobile mechanic, or any somewhat skilled member?

I am glad Hunter did not come all the way down here. My cousin and I fixed it. It was not the power steering box... The hose from the pump to the gear box came loose. A few simple right turns and fill er with juice and good to go! -

I was part of the solution in 2023, and didn't kill schit! -

Even if it's say 20%, but with 2,000, over all tags, that's a lot of bucks killed. Not to mention the hit and lost/not recovered deer. -
I have 22 here in Az and 11 in Wyoming. I actually put in last year, one of two out of staters with 10 points to apply for the tag, and I was the unlucky one.

Becareful, hiding assets during a split can be a nasty (and illegal) hole to go down.

We saw tons of deer, everyday. Deer hunting and pig hunting we saw north of 30 deer per day. The buck to doe ratio is concerning, as well as the maturity of the bucks. Some of the hunt was close to roads, (mostly pig hunting) but most of the deer hunting was over a mile from roads. -

Yes. I know your son's in Mobile Mechanic but he's in Phoenix and that's probably more than I'm willing to pay considering travel time etc. -
