Northwestern Wisconsin Camping, Fishing, Trail Riding, and other fun stuff. Just bring bail money!

Ok I'll give you that your tire calculator say's that a 315/75/17 is 35.6" but is it ? Get out a tape and measure that tire for yourself then see. But most of the guys say their running 16" rims which are only a 34" tire. Not a 35" . Sorry I didn't specify. Plus how much of that do you loose when you drop your air pressure? And some take that too far. But I suppose they like banging their skid plates. I totally get the traction needed for some shit but think about it . I keep forgetting I ran tires most of you never ran. The Original Gumbo Mudder or Ground Hawgs. Mickey Thompson use to make good tire for sand but they sucked in the real Mountains of WA. and Co. It's not always about mud ! There also are rocks and other things you need them for. Most ATs just don't cut it. Put you AT in front of a Gravity box full on wet field. See what happens. Just saying

 

Apparently you and I need to go wheeling together.

 

@CygnusX191 How far you from Windrock ? My Brother out of Iowa is trying to set something up for the Team. He wants to do MIOBI out of Iowa then on too Windrock. Seeing some live in that Region of the US. Your more then welcome to come hang with us if you don't mind a bunch of trigger pullers that get a little out of control sometimes. Lol just haven't heard of any dates yet but I could let you know.

 

7+ hours.

But I'm there twice a year minimum with an annual pass soo.....

 

I get that trigger puller 1st.
Currently waiting in Lincoln Cty to check out some trails.
Waiting on word from @Peeing on jeeps

 

Thinking this might be a good place to start...64E, South on X. East on G. S on Sawmill Rd.
This is my old stomping grounds. I'm familiar with the area but not the trails or where that hill might be.

 

That's a no go. Gated off snowmobile trails, there.
Strike 2 is a waterfowl refuge with hiking trails off cty forest 105 rd. further down G

 

Just got home after spending the day out on some trails near Elton WI.Sure was wet out there today ! Sorry I missed you @bkhlrTaco's .looks like we both ran down some of the same trails, did you come across the Skinned Bear on the dead end off Hwy 64? I ended up over by Elton. My cell service sucks over there. Had to use my off line maps. Here's where we were today Bear was at the turn around at this dead end

 

Shit. I pulled in right as you were heading down the road. I saw several trucks heading up Roehrig Rd.
I almost followed.
right here..

 

More from today

 

Damn! I need…. 34s.

 

It was slippery out today! Seemed all the rain made the rocks jump out of the ground besides trying to stay out of the tree's

 

A couple darker pickups. Haha yep. That was you.
I wasn't getting too ballsy by myself without a winch and as you mentioned. Little to no reception.
Still managed to get dirty scouting around the backwoods.

 

Good Morning Wisconsin ! Looks like I'm heading back to Cornell today to help my Son fix his Transfer Case. Not sure of the issue with it seeing we played all day then drove home. Now he says it won't unlock ???? So headed to take a look. Probably messed up a tuning fork or a vacuum line ! Damn Ford's.

 

I didn't see the dead bear. 5-10 miles straight N of there is where I hunt.
Buddy has 3 bear, coyotes and 3 bucks on trail cam.
Lincoln, Oneida and Langlade is bear country. Actually anything N of 64 is probably bear country. Wolf packs up there as well.
I always CC when out there by myself.
Carry the hand cannon when I hunt. Ruger .44 mag w/ 7" barrel. lol

 

Do you reload for your 44 mag ? If you do or don't and would like too I have a set of Dies for that. Their old Herters Dies so it shows how long I've been doing it. I don't have my 44 anymore sold it when I got my 10mm. I'd be willing to get rid of them for Free to good homes , lol

 

I don't, though it's something I've looked into. Bring them along next time. Maybe I can look after them for awhile.
My brother does reloading. Had me running around looking for primers, a couple years ago. Couldn't find anything around here for reloading or ammo, 12ga or .223.
That was about it.
I was hunting for deals online at the time.
