FIL bought a Kubota Diesel about 6-7 years ago to use on the farm for various tasks. Great for hauling firewood and feed, no problems that I know of mechanically with it, but like clam mentioned they are slow, and the ride is horrible off road. I haven’t driven a gas powered one so maybe they’re...
I've been carrying a 20 gauge for pheasants for 25+ years and never felt undergunned. I do like carrying a 5.5-6 lb gun all day rather than a 7+ lb one.
I looked into Truck Vault drawers a few years ago for my truck, I have a topper and the low profile model is around 8" tall so I would still have plenty of room under the cap. Seems like the decked system would use up a lot of the bed since they're so tall. Just thinking if you start stacking...
Looks like an ABolt 3 based on the pic of the bolt. I have one in 270 and I put Talley one piece rings on mine, and they are different than the first and second gen guns. Pretty sure they’re low rings and I have a 40mm Leupold on it.
Any of the Cooper tires mentioned would be a good choice. Another option but they're an agggressive mud tire is Maxxis Razr MT which they make in 265/70. I put a set on my Ram, have about 8k miles on them and have been happy so far, but it's also not my daily driver.
I hunted the southern part of 3A last Sept and didn't see anyone else in the woods in the 3 days I hunted. Like Empire mentioned, lots of people around, but if they do venture into the woods they're probably going to stick to the clearly marked trails.
I'll second what JFish said about buying the second tag, years that I've bought one I've struggled to get one bird, much less worry about two. First two weeks of the season hunting hours are until noon, after that it's all day. Don't forget we still can't hunt Sundays here either.
Welcome from a former New Yorker who lives in PA now, I live about 20 minutes from where you're looking at hunting and I've hunted small game in 56 before. I would say plan for it to be crowded during turkey season, maybe less so if you come after opening week and are hunting during weekdays, I...
I have the ARE mid rise on my Ram and overall I've been disappointed. Didn't fit well from the start, leaks every time it rains, both side crank out windows have broken, and now the rear window is falling out, and it's only 3 years old. I'm taking it to the dealer after the first of the year...
Interesting to see all the different responses. Hunting NY public land, 0-3 deer per day, although I've gone 5 days straight without seeing any and had days where I've seen 5 or so. PA I hunt private and low end is usually 5 per day, and have seen upwards of 30+, had 13 walk by the stand...
As others have said, go with the dominant eye. I was taught to shoot right handed but I'm left eye dominant. You can learn to adjust to the cross dominance issue, but it's much better to go with the dominant eye to start, especially with shotguns.
Local sportsmans association does a basket of cheer with bottles of liquor and various snacks, usually pretty popular. RMEF chapter did a Browning Hells Canyon rifle last year, DU this year had a Kimer Hunter, the tickets sold pretty quick for those. Henry rifles seem to be popular as well...
That's because hardly anyone is there. We stopped overnight last year at the end of Sept on our way back from Yellowstone and had the town to ourselves. We stayed at the Best Western since I get the points but I'd recommend somewhere else, the hotel was pretty dated.
