I know nothing about atvs so apologies in advance if this is stupid. I don't know what a recovery rope is, but if you have a marine supply place around you, you may be able to pick up an anchor line that would do the deal. I have used the same to pull trucks and trailers out of soft sand on the beach. Just a thought if you end up getting in a pinch.

Thanks Tarheel.  That may have worked.  Never thought about anchor line.    The ropes are arriving today.  Hopefully early enough to get it out.   Recovery ropes just have high strength and often metal loops at end that I will use a shackle as a connector.

I put Maxxis Zilla's on my outlander, went a bit larger and wider than factory. The are super aggressive and work really well, they do dig holes really quick though. Not too expensive and way better than factory tires. The lugs are like 2-3" tall. IMG_20181103_135301898_HDR.jpeg

Last bow season I arrived a nice doe and she ran up the hill onto neighbors property. You have to know this woman to appreciate her. Has a large horse farm where people board their horses. I have had numerous occasions where her clients were riding their horses on my land and I had to tell them “no, this isn’t her property, did you see the posted signs?”  The deer runs about 50 yards onto her property and falls. Right there in the open woods. I call her on the phone and explain the situation to her. She says “hang on, I’ll be right there “. Pulls up on her 4 wheeler and starts yelling at me about shooting “her deer”. She says there’s no way I’m going on her property to get that deer and she’s sure it’s not dead. After a few go rounds, I end by saying, “can you at least go over and pull my arrow out of your not dead yet deer? The one that’s been dead for twenty minutes now. She says she’ll call me when she finds it. I tell her good, I’ll need it for the next horse that comes on my property! Yep, lost my cool. Not good but that carcass sat there all season and made good coyote food. Sad. 

Honestly I would have just waited till she left and went and got it. I have no patience for people like that... I would also call police now every time one of her riders crossed onto your land

I don’t know about up there but it’s supposed to be very very cold here Wednesday. Why not let the ground freeze a little more and try again with another wheeler before it fully freezes

Sounds like the same thing. In West Marine they are called anchor lines and Cabela's they are called recovery ropes. The metal grommet makes it easy to connect. I leave one in the back of my beach truck. Lots of Honda CRVs have been saved from places they shouldn't have been.

Good luck getting it out.

Those would get me through the muck but not tight woods.  Good set of mudders should fit the bill.  Honestly stock tires worked fine all year until it got really mucky - like sink to your knee mucky.

      Broome county / Deposit ny
      By Francesco B
      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.

      What are the best steps carry a bow on your back?
      By Ainsley Ash
      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.

      A Hunter's Obligation to Know the Rules
      By JDN2K
      Just want to relay an experience I had this weekend regarding hunting regulations and other hunters.
      I've had several  hunter's tell me last weekend(10/12/2020) that muzzleloader was open, it is not. I also had two other hunters last weekend confront me as to why my son was carrying around a rifle and hunting deer. I calmly explained the youth weekend and the rules around it. After that everything was cool and we continued our hunt.
      I know at the end of the day we're all trying to participate in a sport we love and maybe harvest some game. My thought is to just make sure you're up on your local hunting regulations. Not just so you are within the rules, but also so you can assert your right to be where you are, hunting the way you're hunting.
      I know when I have been operating outside of the regulations I have appreciated a person respectfully correcting my ignorance and I try to pay it forward by being informed and respectfully educating when required.
      Thanks for listening, off my SB...

      Bolt Action with Pistol Grip
      By Alfredo
      Hello,
      I am in the process of purchasing my first rifle to go hunting deer for the first time.  However, I have received contradicting information regarding the types of rifles that are legal.  Based on what I have read, it appears that I am able to use a bolt-action rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable magazine which holds 10 rounds.  However, I have been told that this is not the case. I can't seem to find where this is stated.  Can any one here provide me with some insight into this? I'd really appreciate it.
      Thanks in Advanced,
      Alfredo
