Benz Ranch trip..

[LKN4HOG]

Well, it went like this...

Broke passenger side front mud flap in large rut on way to hunting area, Redlands Toyota replacement cost: @ $80.00.

Snapped off radio antenna on low tree limb and broke mount, needs replaced, Redlands Toyota cost: @ $400.00.

Having a successful trip with my favorite hunting partner, my daughter: PRICELESS ! ! !

Got this one Friday the 13th, first of the year, lucky for me...not him. TC is chambered in .44 mag. Saw two more Saturday but could not close the deal so went back to the truck and changed barrels to a .17HMR and we whacked a few squeeks on the way back to camp.

Kind of a costly trip in reality but well worth every cent to be out there with Michelle. Yea, she "hammed" it up in the photo but she was JAZZED ! ! (me too) It is trips like this that keeps me going...

$480 in damage not counting expenses, look on your daughters face .... priceless , worth every penny ! what load did you use in your .44 , how far was the shot etc

Broken car parts happen every day. Heck, I busted the windshield on my Dodge going to work a couple years ago.

However, having time with the young'uns AND throwing a hog in the freezer too... that doesn't happen every day. Cherish it, amigo... as I can see that you do.

Awesome pics of you and your daughter. Congrats on the piggy!

and we all know what he's capable of off-road. The ol' Dodge is starting to look like first loser at a redneck demo derby

Good job LKN4HOG

Congratulations!
Too cool-what a great time.
Just take the other mud flap off ~ Then you'll be ready for the next trip.

 

[LKN4HOG]

DIRTPOOR: It is factory 240's at about 60 yards. A little overkill, almost blew the opposing front leg off. I should reload, used to, but now just find it to easy to pick up some. Getting old I guess?

We are already planning our next run, the trip was TOO COOL not to go again. As for the damage, oh well, the hunts will continue. It seems that if we want to get some where.....we go and fix it later. The radio still works (sorta) so it will wait till after the late seasons close than off to the repair shop....mud flaps, anybody get a passenger side front for a 2007 Toyota 4x4 Tacoma?

Sh!t happens but it can't take away from a great trip in the outdoors with your kids. Congrats on a "priceless" outing

Great job Randy, Michelle ! Sorry it took me so long to post but have been busy as usual. Got your VM and we will get up there for the black fuzzy wuzzy in the coming weeks. Thank you for the help. I will be at BPS saturday morn if you want some deer steaks let me know I will bring them and you can pick them up.

KEVINZ: Benz Ranch is in Tehacaphi (?). It is one of the WU ranches.

Thanks LKN4HOG. I am a WU member and read about this ranch a while back (but could not recall its location). A little far for me, so I will let you So Cal guys have at it.

Congrats again!
