Here is a small story about how many NR licenses have been sold
I have a on board battery tender from noco, my truck doesn't move much and the 5x2 charges and keeps the batteries in good shape. Now if I didn't do that, I'd probably have had to change them by now.
I just had to replace the batteries in my truck, I noticed it was starting slower than normal. I went to go to work last week Monday, and all it did was went click, I guess that's what I get for being cheap and not buying new ones. But luckily it happened between the archery and general season...
With the heavy hunting pressure we get here during the general season, bulls are quiet, especially on public lands, and as such, I leave the bugle tube home and only cow call.
You'll have to go to the national forest website and look up what national forest you'll be in and it should say there, but it is also dependent on whether they can get to said roads because of snow depth.
In my experience, most bulls and cows will be on private and places most people won't be when the orange army starts. I see this happening towards the end of archery season as we get over ran with people, and when the orange army arrives, it's a complete shit show. Now will there be elk around...
I shot a 5x5 two years ago, two times with my 7 mag in the heart and lungs, it kept running like nothing happened, it did drop about 50 yards away, but at first I thought I missed cause it didn't flinch or anything. Now the bull I shot last fall, hit it in the neck and dropped it in it's tracks...
My wife bought me the Maxtrax brand, I was uoset she spent that much, but come the following spring, we take my Ram 2500 cummins she hunting. I hit the one spot and bury my truck to the frame, I had the boards with and I thought I'd break them under the weight of my truck, but surprisingly, they...
When I did my f150, it was at about 75k miles too, but I had one that popped right off, the other one, not so much, but with an air chisel and a flat chisel, it didn't put up much of fight. While the bearing didn't take long to do, while I had everything pulled off, I found the ball joints were...
I deliver fuel part time, and prices went up $0.10 today, and supposedly they're suppose to go back up to what it was this summer. $4.19 unleaded and $4.84 for diesel today.
My front end is tight, and surprisingly, the Nitto Ridge Grappler's I have on my truck are doing really good, even with some heavy towing. I've read a lot of reviews about it and it was all mixed, and I've had good luck in all conditions with them. Now a friend of mine, has them on his trail...
