Bump

I'm about to be in the market for a quad / atv for hunting, and was looking for some advice on which brand and size to go with. Kind of looking at the Polaris Sportsman 570 or similar just because it seems to be a mid size, and not really sure if I need anything bigger or not. My use would just be for getting down roads too nasty for the pickup. Any brands or things to stay away from? Any must have accessories for hunting that I should also look for? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the input so far guys, much appreciated. Sounds like I should look at the Honda's too.

Second for Fullerform. They are great to work with and happy to order things that aren't in stock. Are you looking for waterman or fresno?

Where are you located?

What is the barrel length and choke type on the model 48?

I sharpen my own. A worksharp is good and works very fast, I like it for kitchen and steak knifes. For my hunting knives I use a Blademaster honing kit. It uses a clamping system with a guide rod on the stone handle that helps you maintain a more consistent angle on your knife edge. It is a slow process and takes some getting used to, but I feel like you can get very precise edge on your blade with that system.

357 brass is spoken for. 9mm and 380 is still available. All gone. Thx

Was given a box of goodies and have no use for this brass. Has 357 Mag (mostly nickle), 9mm luger and a little 380. Mixed headstamps and no idea how much it was used. Free if anyone can use it. Located in Maricopa

Another vote for Little Creek Calls. They are well made, have great sound, and it's always nice to support someone local.

I'll take the lapping kit and the outdoor edge knife. PM on it's way.

How is the trout fishing this time of year at Parker Canyon? The stocking schedule shows it being stocked through the winter months, but I've never fished it before. Just looking for a trout spot until the northern lakes get going again.

I'll give that a try. Thanks

Your list looks good. A few things I carry in addition to most of the stuff you listed is a small 12V air compressor for tires, jumper cables and/or rechargeable booster pack, and a small collection of wire crimp connectors for emergency electrical repairs.

I've been trying to figure out an umbrella system for the exact same thing, but haven't found one I like yet. I appreciate the insight and will have to try one with a longer handle to go down in my pack. Thanks!

Well done! What's your setup for the umbrella in the first picture? (at least it looks like an umbrella)

For you guys with late season hunts, selling 2 sets of tire chains. Boxes are a little beat up but they're unused. Shipping would be cost prohibitive, so pick up only in Maricopa. Asking $40 $25 for all.

They're SPF to Zonalivn. WT hunter, you're second in line if it falls through. Thx

Bump for the guys with late hunts.

So I'm new to using muzzleloaders and was wondering how you guys carry the stuff to reload while in the field?( primers, powder, bullet, hand starter, etc.) I'm thinking of the scenario where a follow up shot might be needed, and you'd need to do it quickly. I'd want to have my stuff handy instead of fumbling around in my pack for something, but are there any sort of containers or small packs that keep it handy and accessible? Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, there's some good information here. I especially like the idea of setting everything out before the first shot so it's ready.

Let's try $30 $25 for all the chains

Does anyone have recommendations for leg gaiters? Doesn't need to be snake proof per se, just looking for something to keep the pants dry going through grass that's wet from dew in the mornings.

Thanks for the replies. Good point about the material used, being quiet is important too since these will be used on archery hunts. I'll take a look at the ones mentioned here. AzDiamondHeat; what do you use for silicone?

40 gr v-max to Nitemann, RodinAZ sent you a PM, all other PM's replied to.
