huntin rides
 

here is the ride i built originaly for huntin but after moddin the muffler and air intake (among other things) it is too loud for hunting so i just keep it for trail ridin....anyone els use carts, atv'sor side by sides? (rhino,ranger,mule) im going to build an electric all hunting camo cart next, more low end torque, no smell or noise and start easier when its cold...this cart has about 14 HP (gas engine), top speed of about 35 and can climb most anything with no problem....

here is a link to all my pics,

bad link to the pic

RE: huntin rides
 

The link is good. You just have to put the pass word in. He put the pass word info under the link in his post.

Cool looking rig. I would like to have a polaris ranger instead of a 4 wheeler. But they are kinda pricey.

RE: huntin rides
 

yeah they nice..they good for pullin suff but for hardcore off road trails and deep mud or water..aint nuthin touchin a rhinio...

RE: huntin rides
 

Thats great looking. What year is the beast?
I just got a golf cart myself.

RE: huntin rides
 

its a 1987 yamaha G2....the stock 285cc engine runs good, and with all the mods to it, K&N filter, re jetted carb, cutom modified muffler, governor and RPM limiter removed, and the torque spring in the CVT to keep it in a lower gear, it runs better than any other stock enginegolf cart ive found...but i want MORE...next in line is an 18HP briggs vtwin, modified with a few goodies to over 30HP....

it takes a little more than a golf cart to get to some of my hunt'n area's. also atv's are outlawed, you have to have a tagged vehicle. so i have been building on this rig for a little over a year now (part of the reason i haven't been on here much). a quick rundown on it is as follows:

RE: huntin rides
 

wow you got yourself a nice rig there...good work man.....

RE: huntin rides
 

Hey, you did a good job there!

Here's a picture of my Travling Stand. Swivel Chair and CB Rabio on top.When it starts torain, I climb down and go inside!:D:D:D

RE: huntin rides
 

Rebel, I don't even think that is legal where I live. Maybe on a game ranch, but not for regular hunting. I could be wrong though, never tried it.

Deerslayer, you do know blue is one of the few colors deer actually see pretty well? I would rethink your color scheme if it were me.

Here is my hunting rig/ride



I'm poor, I can barely afford decent shoes let alone some sort of ATV and a truck with a trailer to get it to where I am hunting;).

As far as my ride, I own a Sebring coupe with a 3.0 and a five speed, it's gold. I don't even own a truck. When I kill something I go get someone with a truck to help me.

RE: huntin rides
 

Paul, in FL you can shoot from a boat or vehicle as long as the vehicle is not moving. I like this height because it puts my vision just above the Palmetos. I can see them coming for as long as I can see and I'm not hanging in the air so they can see me. If I want to move to another spot......Done Quick and if it rains, I don't get wet!!:D:D

RE: huntin rides
 

Cool, like I said I'm not sure if that is legal in MI or not, I don't think it is. I know they would give you some crap about it for sure. Maybe if you were handicaped? If I could get away with it I would try it for sure. Nice set up.

Be kind of hard to get in the middle of the woods though where I live;).

I was really just being a smart alleck is all.

hey reb, did you reinforce that Jimmy's roof any? just wonder'n how sturdy your footing is....i like the idea.

RE: huntin rides
 

Here is mine; '77 Blazer. HCH

RE: huntin rides
 

Yep! I have 1" marine plywood secured with threaedJ hooks to the luggage racks. My brother-in-law made the aluminum ladder which is secured to the plywood and the running board. The top aluminumframecan be folded and removed for travaling on the highway.

RE: huntin rides
 

I bought mine newin 1988. S-10 "Tahoe".

RE: huntin rides
 

This does the trick for me- it can go nearly anywhere you want it to go thanks to the big 650 and the locker, and handles more like a sport machine so it's a blast to ride. Hopefully the next machine in our garage is a prairie 700.

RE: huntin rides
 

Here a few of mine.......some are day to day rides also but Iuse em for hunting

RE: huntin rides
 

like i said im no longer using this cart for hunting and have dedicated it to trail and mud rider. thats why i decided to go with the metallic blue paint....

RE: huntin rides
 

Here is my ride I just picked up today. I got it mainly for driving around the hunting property or whatever. Cost all of $152 off of ebay. I told myself I would pay up to $200 for it because that was some money I just got in online survey checks and rebates from best buy. It was well worth it.

RE: huntin rides
 

vintage 3 wheeler....very nice...what about online surveys?

RE: huntin rides
 

Nothing really, I just do online surveys on various sites. Only a handful are legit I think as it took me about 3 different tries on other sites before I found one like the one in my signature. They just celebrated their 1 year anniversery of being online actually. They have a forum and whatnot to talk to other members and you can just take some surveys and sign up for some newsletters and get paid for it. So far I have raked in about $80 from the site in my signiture, so that paid for half of that golf cart I just bought. Pretty neat.

RE: huntin rides
 

so you get payed money just to answer questions? whats the catch?

RE: huntin rides
 

no catch, honestly.

Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions

RE: huntin rides
 

Hey guys, does anyone use a dirt bike for scouting or hunting? I've ridden both dirt bikes and ATVs and know some of the obvious limitations; noise, carrying capacity, 4 wheel drive vs 1 wheel, suspension, etc. But I was curious to know if anyone did us a 2 wheeler and what type and modifications,etc.

RE: huntin rides
 

Heres one of my hunting rigs, Right here on the farm I usually use my Honda Rancher, if I have to travel a short distance to one of my leases, I usually use my Jeep, its a 92 Wrangler 4 inch lift 33 inch swampers, mossy oak camo, 150 watt off road lights, overhead gun rack,, and still the quietest vehicle I own. If I have to travel a long way,, I use my 03 Ford Superduty.

RE: huntin rides
 

I like the looks of that jeep. Needs winch though.

RE: huntin rides
 

its a gator, no its a mule, its a mulegator.

RE: huntin rides
 

Angus74, I like the jeep:D

RE: huntin rides
 

Hey thanks,, I do have a winch for it, but havent put it on yet, Im waiting till I get all the other wiring done on the Jeep before I install the winch. I am getting ready to swap in small block chevy and 350 th tranny, and a heavier rear end. After all thats in the wnch will go on. It does get lots of looks around town. Everyone asks about it, amazingly Im surprised by the amount of women who comment on it,, including my wife,, when I told her I was putting camo on it, she threw a fit, but her mind was changed when it was finished, now she likes to drive it around.

RE: huntin rides
 

if you run the lights and winch often, learn from my mistake and go ahead and splurge for the optima yellow top battery.

RE: huntin rides
 

93 ZJ 4.0 I6 gibson header, flowmaster, 3.5" Super Flex RE, 31 MTRs , would go bigger buttt i cant really save money. so woo.

RE: huntin rides
 

I'm retiring my 1990 F150 4X4 and just picked this up 2 days ago:

RE: huntin rides
 

I tool around onmy Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4. I use it to push Michigan snow and to pull Michigan Whitetails.

RE: huntin rides
 

arctic cat 400 4X4 with winch

RE: huntin rides
 

Here's mine.....

I bought it so that I could manage my hunting property more efficiently (it sounds big-time.....but I got tired of carrying 200 pounds of corn to my feeders ....50#'s at a time for 1/4 mile!!). I've gotten more use out of this thing around the house than I ever DREAMED. Plus....it's fun to put the wife on the back and scoot around.

I love my ATV.
