Chuckie, Jez and my co-worker’s dad on land he leases. We got a tour today and I’m taking a few days off this week to set heavy. Definite fox and coyote and coon and even a little creek so hopefully will get some mink action as well! Funny how fast you can make friends with someone else who loves the outdoors. These guys had no problem shooting the breeze and bantering and little Jez ran her butt off and peed on everything!
My co worker and her dad took me turkey hunting this spring and have been lamenting the predators around. Hopefully I can help them and also gain some experience. We will see!

2wd's are fun off road. Don't let off in the thick stuff and park downhill.

Make sure its a locking rear end first.

Good tires and weight in the box helps a lot.
Couple of 5 foot chunks of RR Rail is good.

Looks like a good place to trap, get some good mud and snow tires and about 500 pounds in the back end of the ranger and go.

Chunk or two of scrap rail is good for weight-heavy and dont take away room in the box.
They also have bolt holes and make a great drag to grade a rough road full of potholes.

The rail also makes a good place to beat stuff on instead of the tailgate.

Good luck! When I first saw the picture it screamed "Fox country" to me. Pack a lunch and spend the day there putting in all the quality sets you can. Checking them is fast.


I have nothing clever to put here.
