Thought since we did our shotguns we could do the same with our hunting truck or 4 wheelers.
I shopped used 4 wheelers and for the price they wanted for a used bike I bought my Cherokee about 5 years ago. It's a 1995 with the 4.0. I've got a 3" lift with 32.5 x 10.5 mud tires on her. I don't drive it much on the road, usually tow her up to the camp and leave it. Had to bring it home this weekend for a little maintenance. A U-joint is starting to go out, the radio doesn't work and she got a pulley making noise. Other then that it runs great, always starts, the A/C works and goes in places you wouldn't think it could. Should have it back in fighting shape in a week or two.

The deer is one my son killed during the 09 season. Don't have many pic's of the jeep.
I drive a Blue Ford Explorer Sport 4x4. I bought it about 5 years ago when I was in tech school cause I wanted to try a SUV. It has been good to me but man do I miss a truck. I will never drive anything other than a truck again when I get an new vehicle. Like I said I cannot complain about the Explorer. It gets me where I need to go and has never put me on the roadside. It is in the background of this picture of a big 6 point I killed (the buck is on my friend's truck, it was his turn to drive).

NICE! Those cummins run like a dream.
I just sold my hunting truck. Had a 94 standard cab ranger, 4cyl 2wd, manual. She wasn't much to look at, but it ran like a top and never a single time did it not fire up.
I guess I will have to choke on the gas price and drive my 4dr s10...you would think it would get decent fuel milage...but it likes the gas.
03 Ford Ranger XLT Ext. Cab 4L V6 5 speed manual trans. It's hauled many a deer and turkey since I bought it in '03. Gonna drive it til it drops.

You southern folks have all the good stuff.
Not all of it. I've seen some real prize winners north of the Masion Dixion line.
I've hunted Illinois a few times. Pike, Brown and Henry counties. Seen some giant bucks up there. Never turkey hunted it.

If I wouldn't have needed a bigger truck, because of expanding family, I would have driven my 94 til it was absolutely no longer able to move. I am a chevy man (or was/have been in the past) but that little ranger is probably the best truck I have owned. Change the oil and they last forever.

In my neck of the woods, that is a brute and a half! Nice buck JVA53!
That's a good one! Looks to be mid 150's. Bow or shotgun?
You are right his gross score is in the 150's shot him with a bow.
Nice rides and deer :icon_thumright:
Iam still running my 2000 ford ranger ext cab ...Had it from the day it was new
I had a 93 ranger 4x4 with the 4L keep it till 2000 it was a great truck.
My jeep is almost ready for turkey season. The brakes are going to have to wait, but it has seatbelts. Should make going down the hills interesting.
I should have the rest of the parts in Wednesday. Might get to tow her up this weekend.
