phade Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Get it. Ok, I may be biased as it would useful You can run behind it while I drive. Biggest issue is I don't think it'll fit in my bed...meaning a trailer is needed. I know that thing isn't going into your princess truck.

moog5050 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You can run behind it while I drive. AS long as you speed up so I am not tripping over you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-150 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 My ATV is very useful ,almost daily on my farm. When it is brokedown itis almost like I have a broken leg. Going hunting I ride it up my hill, park and walk back to the treestand. plus it is handy for dragging the deer out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Can get a trailer cheap. Happy to tow it, but no way its muddying up my bed rug. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 What size Pickup? The Big Ragu posting before you has a freaking Raptor SVT that hasn't seen a drop of mud in it's precious life. It's puuuurrrty. I on the other hand have an 06 Dakota Quad cab 4x4.

moog5050 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I got some mud under the wheel wells one time - I promptly had it detailed. You may just be exaggerating a bit, but the bloody carcasses fit better in your truck. When we kill a deer that's too big for the dakota, I will make the sacrifice. Seriously, we can buy a trailer for under $500 and actually plant a plot next year. BTW - I like the new nickname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 It will fit in the Dakota. The rear wheels will be oton the tail gate but that even happens a bit in my F150 crew cab . The satnce onteh 400 I think is almost identical to my 500 and I think in the Dakota you will have to drive over the wheel wells a bit going in. Very easy to do with the 4 wheel drive. just watch if it has a winch as it come over. I have seen twice guys a bit heavy and overly excited on the throttle and it cost both of the a rear window.

phade Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I'm working a deal on it. Need to look at the brakes a bit on it. Fluid was pretty low - trying to see if the owner can figure out if there's something minor or if it is catastrophic. It isn't run much at all, so could be a bad line or something. I believe it has a winch, but not 100%. I figured it would fit length wise tailgate down, was more worried about the width - with the wells, that bed isn't wide.

Culvercreek hunt club Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Moog, I know two guys that own the Raptors . neither of them will lose site of the pavement in theie lives either. As a side note. What does your husband drive? He must have a real truck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Its called a tape measure - as Culver suggested, you can borrow one from my husband. Keep this up Phade and you are banned from the new parcel in mendon where the 200" buck has been posing broadside everyday at 6pm while I hand feed him. Probably not a shooter for YOU anyway.

Doewhacker Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This thread is great guys! lol Phade you better get a trailer to tow behind the ATV so you can cart your ego around. JUST JOKING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Breaking Phade's chops because he knows I will probably shoot the first spike I see, despite my promise to hold out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Phade, if you need to get it home, we can put it in the bed of my man sized truck, that spends most of its life dirty. Friggin pansies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Gonna need some cardio workouts. Pick things up and put things down is different than carrying something. I wonder if you could pick that thing up, though. Wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
