Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Winter Time Chores

Dan, one hot afternoon I tried to Gorilla tape every spot where I could find daylight in the cab. They are not put together very well in regards to gaps.....



The 700 Grizzly is the all-time best wheeler ever!

Seriously, they are by far the most common utility 4-wheeler around here. Fricken awesome machines and yes they will rip!

Summer chores...

I like the custom water bottle rack on the wheeler...

That's good to hear Sam, seems to be the word around here too lots of guys happy with them. Yours looks all business there, cool pic.

Here's a pic last May bringing the new to me Grizz home



Pretty sure it'll never be that clean again. lol

Owl, it was a dry one last Summer!



Dan, that one was in good shape!

We bought ours used as well, old guy had used it for ice fishing.

We tried an Artic Cat 4 wheeler this year.

Been riding Polaris forever.

Lots of guys in the valley have had great luck with AC.

Trying.to decide between a sled and tracks for our Ranger was tough.

I gave 9200 for that sled and tracks are 5000 or so.

We shoveled out some of the corals today.

I moved a bunch of snow with the cat loader too.


Going to bangs heifers Wednesday. Took us about 5 hours of snow removal.


Then it was parent teacher conference and supper in town.

You still getting hammered out there Jim or is this old snow that hadn't been cleared yet?

Jim, I snow blowed out the crowding tub and alley about two weeks ago. Before the snow got hard and more recently slushy. It is melting fast now, standing water all over the place.

We still need to schedule a vet for bangs.

Usually get it done before calving is going.

Sam, yes both perfect and a strip.

EDtoomany, that steak has my rub on it.

EdM, those slippers are badass!

Yep, old snow. We have not needed the corrals all winter so we never cleaned them out.

Calling for more snow and colder temps later in the week though.


We just about went to town to buy a walk behind snow blower for the job Sam. Went with shovels instead......




I have to admit......I was kind of looking forward to running my trap line with my new snowmobile a little while longer.


I dont start calving for another month or so.....

In the end, I am glad that the snow is slowing going away. I guess.

Cool, what'r you trapping calf eaters or just for fur?

fur's done....

Yep, just calf eaters.


I was going to try for some nice fur earlier this winter but it did not work out.

Hopefully I get my crap together for next winter.

Glad to hear you're getting some fun outa that new sled good times. You'll be set up nice for next year if you have the time. Some guys I know have been going hard on some out of control wolf areas up here this year they're at 45 last I heard. Snaring mostly.

Snaring wolves.

That sounds like an adventure!

Yeah I SAF wouldn't try it but these guys know what they're doing. The little I know is its a semi stiff cable with a lead that looks a bit like a log choker in the pics I've seen. They work very well I'm told and critters die pretty quickly.

The only time I put more than salt & pepper on a good cut of beef is if it has gone bad...

I love the taste of beef!

Ed

When ID's first Wolf trapping season opened an old trapper across the river set out on a quest to snare a Wolf. A couple of weeks in he actually had two Wolves in his snares at one trap check. ID requires you to bring them in so they can look them over and pull a tooth for aging or something so he stopped by my place on his way to town to check in his catch. I don't know much about Wolves but I can tell you that two grown adults flat fill up the bed of a little S10 pick up.
Holy crap.....you need to see those things to really appreciate the size...they're huge.

My chores last weekend, included putting fresh fish on the table.



& this week, pet sitting my Son's 8 week old puppy.





Sophie is a Great Dane, Rhodesian ridgeback cross !

WTF was he thinking ?
