This one was lying on his side right on top of the bed in the middle of the field. Lots of times they lay in the bottom of the furrow on their belly and they’re much harder to spot , really have to look for them.

It is a Suzuki Van Van 200 dual purpose bike like the Yamaha TW-200, it is a little more street oriented. It is more comfortable on existing roads though that can mean a two track that hasn't seen a vehicle in this century, for me that is perfect as I can't leave them on public lands. The TW- is better if your going to leave the two tracks. Speed is 50-60 mph on asphalt which make it perfect to leave the house and run the highway out to where I want to hunt. The biggie is fuel economy, I average around 80 mpg and can spend all day hunting going from stand to stand for $5.
This spring I will pull the scabbard and put another box on it and do some distances traveling and camping.
Pluses
Fuel injection just punch the switch and go Very comfortable seat
Cons
Small tank 1.5 gal. Not much aftermarket support
After the first shot the rest are just noise.
Make mine a Minaska

Glassed two up today. One at 516 other at 530. Specs on the shooting iron? Rarely catch a coyote out in a cut bean field or a disced field around here. Guess nowhere for him to hide. The heck with the gun, where can I find black loamy soil like that??

Good dirt and weather. Questionable water and undeniably the worst political environment in the nation. Well you have to go to CA for that. The last two on the list make the future here look pretty bleak.
