    WTB: Bench Seat

    I'm looking to buy a rear bench seat and mount for the box of an 09 Polaris Ranger. If you have one or know a good place to order one I'd appreciate the information. Thanks!
  4. I haven't owned a pair of kiababs but I have glassed with them. If you plan to do a lot of free standing glassing then you'd want the lightest of the two.... however, you may not want to sacrifice quality. there's a big price difference between the two because the kiababs are better glass. side by side comparison in low light conditions will tell you what you want; make sure to do this on a tripod where you can switch back and forth very quickly. I have done side by side comp on kiabab and swaros during the daylight hours. IMO and for my eyes the kiababs were not very close in comparison to swaros. edge to edge clarity on the kiababs lacked. center image was OK. However, I did like the ergonomics of the kiababs.... felt very good in the hands and the focus was easy to use. kiababs are good glass for the money. get the best that you can get at the time of your purchase. I love good optics and I know its exciting to be in the process of a purchase. have fun and good luck.

    Does anyone know which units they are considering implementing the late mule deer hunts for? Those would be some primo hunts to draw!

    Backpacks?

    I've got the exact same pack and love it. eberlestock makes another pack that is basically the same design as the tred barta.... don't know offhand what its called. also have the j-104 and love it. imo, eberlestock makes some great packs. I've had badlands packs before (2200) and found the waistbelt to be very squeaky against my clothes; it was very comfortable, but very noisy. noisy doesn't go too well with coues huntin so I opted to change. bull-pac makes a great frame pack. if one is hauling heavy heavy gear, you couldn't go wrong with one of them either. nice selection in your pack. you'll like it.

    Dove recipies

    Like with quail, I personally prefer them to be battered and fried. I like to take the birds, dip them in an egg mixture, flour and drop into hot oil. getting the oil to the correct temperature is key. if its not hot enough, your batter is gonna end up too greasy. too hot and it'll burn the flour before you get the middle part of the bird cooked. with dove being so small, it doesn't take too long to cook them though..... season the flour with whatever seasoning you prefer. I've learnt myself that you can be pretty liberal with the seasoning if you have a bunch of flour that you're using for your concoxion. I personally prefer crushed sea salt, garlic powder and FRESH ground pepper (lots of it). if you're not used to fryin it like this, it'll take some trial and errors to get it right. just remember that the oil temp is big when your fryin em. have fun. good eatin to ya.
  9. 2007 Honda Rancher 420 Electronic Shift 4x4. Hasn't been used much since we've bought it new in 07' and especially since getting a Ranger in 09'. Garage kept, 660 miles. 145 hrs. Factory tires have over 50% tread left. Gun Scabbard, Bags on the rear rack. Runs excellent. Has a few scratches on the plastic but otherwise in good shape. Brand new battery put on yesterday. Pictures aren't the best. Almost everything I've seen for comparable has been over $4000 for a 4x4 on ATV Trader etc. It's a great running quad, just don't use it much and could use the money. $3500 obo. Thank you.

    2 week hunt -

    If you go the Dry Ice route, depending on how much you have, be careful with it if you plan to keep it inside overnight. Open up some windows or vents. It can be a deadly gas once sublimation occurs from its frozen state... also try to keep it in as big of blocks as you can... it'll last longer.

    Draw results?

    Call and ask. I don't think its gonna be for a few more work days. still too early.

    Draw results?

    Last year the second Tuesday in June, which is the date they are always due, was the 8th. Results came out what "seemed" to be pretty early last year; July 15th (37 days past the deadline date) This year, the second Tuesday in June was the 14th. Based off of last year, I would assume (of course you know what that means) that at the earliest, they'd be out next week (37 days would be the 21st). All in all, they'll be out when they have the results ready to release. I'm certain they know we are all patiently waiting
  18. It's all going to come down to "if" the deer smells you. Your body puts off microscopic molecules of odor that aren't detectable by humans. Deer break down smell more completely than a lot of other animals; they have a complex olfactory system. You can wear and spray whatever you want however much you want. there will be molecules that leave your body that deer can smell. You have to get the wind right. Perhaps set up a couple different blinds where you want to hunt and sit the one with the best wind direction. IMO I wouldn't rely on a spray; the wind is a much better cover up for scent if you play it right....

    Time for a new Family Tent

    I prefer a good wall tent. If this is out of the question, the kodiak canvas tent looks nice for a decent price. Just up to to you, how much you want to spend and the ease of setting up. Good luck! That's a fun purchase especially with the kids.
