Some folks wonder about those "Ranch Hand Bumpers" you see on some trucks.

Well, they do work. My Son in Law purchased a new '15 Ram 3500 Cummins 4x4. The first week, he had the bumper and 12,000 lb Warn winch installed.

About six months later we were in the Salmon River Canyon, coming home at dark thirty in November from a steelhead excursion when a doe and two fawns bounced off the front bumper. The doe went flying over the fence on the left like she had come off a snowplow. Both fawns bounced out and came to rest against the right fence.

I looked over that truck very carefully the next day and could not find a scratch. The bumper paid for itself right there.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
