Went to the road closure area this morning, where I had the 2 cows with 2 calves wander by at 140 yards on day 1 of rifles...Took teh 16 year old stepson in, hoping he could pop one with the .243, with me backing up on the 06.
Snuck in, got set up and waited...Nada !!! Walked to the very back end on the road, then cut trail through the open grasslands...Nada....
Suspect, by the tracks that someone had been driving around in there in a Rhino or similar (too wide to be a quad), looks like they may have been doing it in the dark too.....Tracks suddenly veer into the block and stop...Maybe spotting animals in the headlights...:twisted:
Anyways driving home, funky sound from the truck...Burned up the transmission on the Ranger.....So now I have to swap a transmission...Luckily found a rebuilt from a guy at a good price....Never swapped one before...but how hard can it be?????
Like I say, maybe should have stayed in bed....:(:(
