vegasjeep Report post Posted July 6, 2008 I like to start going out this time of year and see what is running around, where they are running around and of course see if my drops from last years missed montster is still laying around. Oddly enough (not this year) I found a nontypical drop tine set of drops within 10 feet of each other two years in a row. Heres a few pics of what I was able to take. We saw a few WT bucks, a few mulie bucks and about a dozen Doe last Saturday. and of course, if anyone knows 36b or travels it much this Duramax has been sitting way out in the middle of no where since around January. oddly enough unmolested (guess no one really goes out there) It could not make it back up a hill and obviously broke a tie rod. Then the driver must have hiked out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grizzly Report post Posted July 6, 2008 owner probably then quit paying on the truck and there is a repo guy somewhere looking for it, that or reported it stolen. With the price of diesel it just may stay there for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasjeep Report post Posted July 7, 2008 owner probably then quit paying on the truck and there is a repo guy somewhere looking for it, that or reported it stolen. With the price of diesel it just may stay there for a while. I am guessing on he got stuck, walked out, reported it stolen. It is 100 feet north of the border. It has been there at least since Jan/Feb Nothing had been stripped from it at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattobertin Report post Posted July 7, 2008 If it is just a tie rod you can swap that out in about ten minutes and drive it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
