WRO's build, adventures of the girl truck, general bs, hunting adventures etc

This week hopefully

 

Cmc, 8112s finally installed.

 

Do you eat everything you kill?

 

Typically yes, the only exception is coyotes.

Yes, I have 4 kids and we eat wild game 4-5 nights a week.

The bears I turn into salami, summer sausage, brats, and pepperoni sticks. When I get lucky enough to harvest a cougar, its chops and sausage.

Everything else is steaks and ground meat. On Average we eat about 2 elk and a deer a year. Anything that's left after a year is given to family, friends, and neighbors. None of it is wasted.

 

with the CMC what sized tires are you planning on putting on there?

 

I'll keep the 255 80 17s, I also did the pinch weld as well. I want to get more clearance to run chains on my winter hunts.

 

What are your thoughts on the 8112's?

 

I like them, much better manners on the street than my 5100's had, i'm going to take them to the desert next weekend hopefully.

 

I put about 300 miles on them in the desert this week, they did awesome. I ran a range from rocky rough to sandy whoops. I could run them much faster than my 5100's.

 

Looks awesome! Scouting trip?

 

Helping a friend on a Premium deer tag, chased a good one yesterday, just couldn't convert. Only had 2 days to help. Saw a ton of deer, one that should break 200" and another that was in the mid 190's. The big guys were cruising, the little ones were tending the does. Lots of fun though none the less.

 

Sounds awesome!!

 

How was new mexico?

 

New Mexico was awesome, I ended up with a decent bull opening morning. Already looking forward to next year! Here are some pics....
Thanks again for the tips!

 

Congrats, we're you on private or public? I was looking at applying for 51 next year. Did my bugling tip work?

 

Public land. Yeah, morning before opening day I scouted the area I got my bull I heard a couple bugles. But opening day I didn't hear anything but ended up staying in the spot I heard them the day before. It all worked out!

 

Congrats again, hunting where elk are always seems to be a successful strategy .

 

Definitely! I'm hooked now haha

 

New grill, much better than paint that was peeling off the stock one.

 

Finished my last hunt of 2018, more meat for the winter.

Also got my @Dissent86 roof rack and rear faring installed, in sub freezing weather. Looks amazing to me.
