Re: 4-Wheelers
Because I haven't even gotten to practice much with my two new Henry's, I have decided to put any new gun purchaces on hold for now. I need a new 4-Wheeler. Went out looking today. Pretty sure I'm gonna get the Polaris 570 SP. My 2000 model 500 has served me very well and still runs strong, however, can't trust it if I'm alone and 3 to 5 miles up the mountain. Will keep the old for visitors.

Re: 4-Wheelers
The idea is that if two are on the mountain and one breaks down, there is still transportation back down. We had to double up a few times when bear hunting when someone broke down.Mags wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 11:13 pm.

Best not to go alone anyway, if possible. I WILL be doing that on occasion though...hence, the new one.

Re: 4-Wheelers
very nice .... very nice indeed .... it looks like a much nicer version of the Yamaha 350 Big Bear we bought back in 1990 .... our main use for it has been big game hunting .... the only mod I've made to it is to get rid of the thumb throttle and replace it with a motorcycle twist throttle .... she still cranks and moves on down the trail

Re: 4-Wheelers
Thanks Jim, I'm proud of it. Nothing like a good old workhorse that has served you well. Still have my 2000 model which stood strong for me through bear hunting and much more. She still runs good, just getting old. This one should last me for the rest of my days...( knock on wood ), just how I see it right now. Have also thought about the twist throttle in the past. On my old one I just have the thumb throttle extender....anyway, this just became a priority for me. Power steering was the driving factor because of my arthritic issues.JEBar wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 7:36 pme
