I locked my tailgate and now it won't unlock 4 wheeler is in the bed. Anyone know how to get it unlocked without doing any damage?


The key won't turn?

Have you tried yanking and pushing while trying to turn key?

If it will turn but not open use a screw driver to pop latches in on each side of bed.

If it won't turn I'd get a screwdriver and a can of wd and spray in lock mech and see if that will help

Does tailgate push on tires when shut. Like jammed in?

If the key doesn't turn spray a good penetrating oil in the lock, let it set for awhile and then keep trying. Might take a while but it usually will work. Hold a rag on the tail gate so it doesn't run down the paint because it can stain or remove paint. Once it is free (if that is it) spray every once & awhile to keep it free.

I use  this one.

One more day to get it done in bow season for me. This has been a real tough season. But I will not complain . I've passed up a bunch of small bucks and seen some shooters but had no shots. Also chose to pass on a few doe. Was hoping to see my grandson get his first deer, but, it did not happen this year. Overcame an early season injury, that could have been much worse. Saw some beautiful sun rises and sets. Watched the leaves flutter to the ground and saw them blown sideways by the wind. Felt a crisp autumn breeze in my face and was chilled. Was warmed by seeing my lifelong friend and his daughter harvest nice deer. Watched a button buck for almost three hours feeding close to me on an oak ridge, from a blind I built myself. And wondered if our paths would cross again in the years to come. So tomorrow another bow season will be in the books for me. And weather I get a deer, or not. It's been a bow season to remember.

Thanks guys I went to my cousins dad's house he is a tow truck driver. We lifted the wheeler out of my bed onto a flat bed. Still won't open but at least it isn't in my truck were I have to park in a shady neighborhood for work.


Start spraying lock a few times...may help at least you know it's not jammed now and just stuck......be careful not to break key......good luck

Hit three different public lands today. Nothing sitting the morning, nothing still hunting/scouting the afternoon, and nothing this evening.
Either tomorrow or Tuesday will probably be my last hunts with the bow. I really have to put focus on getting good areas where the g/f has a shot at a deer. I want her to drop one her first year out. 


Which public lands you going to rob? If you haven't tried PR yet, I would deff give that a try. A buddy of mine has been hunting PR off and on all bow season and has had shots at some decent small bucks and a lot of does. So if your looking to get your gf something you should take a walk around there one day once gun opens. Might run into me one of them days! Lol.

      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      Hello everyone I’m currently looking at a house in deposit ny I’ve been deer hunting for many year mainly in Columbia and Greene county never been to Broome county. Before anything I was just curious how is the hunting there ? I know there aren’t any antlered restrictions in Broome but are there monsters out there or is it mainly just small spike? If anyone from that county or knows about deposit and broome county would get back to me i would appreciate it. Hope everyone hunting today catch a big one thanks.

      The procedure below to carry the bow is detailed below:
      You have to use a cotton towel or something similar. You have to wrap it around the bowstring. Doing so ensures that it will not cause an injury with the bowstring coming in contact with your body. It will not be that sharp either. Once you cover the bowstring with the towel, you have to wear it like a sling. So that it will not fall away from your body. The best way to cover the bowstring is to use a large enough towel. You can wrap it around twice as well. When making a sling out of the cotton towel, you have to ensure that you tighten it to get a snug fit. In that case, it will not slip away. Consequently, it will remain in place. When using this technique to carry a bow on your back, it is essential to practice before going in the wilderness. Only when you can move briskly and without noise using the scanning mechanism should you go ahead with it. To remove the bow, you have to hold it at the bottom. After that, you have to slip it over your head as well as arm. Doing so ensures that you can remove it quickly. When trying to focus on a prey, you need to remove the bow quickly. The technique for removal that we have highlighted above can certainly help you do so.

      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!
