    How to keep lights off on your truck?

    The only option that my 2016 Explorer has for the lights other than going into the BCM to change things is to set the light switch to manual but I still have daytime running lights whie the engine is on and out of park. There is no other option to shut down the interior lights or the delay with...

    How to keep lights off on your truck?

    You still have daytime running lights along with interior lights that stay on for a while after shutting the door or even turning off the engine that you can't controll manually, at least on my newer vehicle

    How to keep lights off on your truck?

    A hammer works real well until you need to drive in the dark again. A number of vehicles now days have a lot of their electrical accessories controlled by a BCM (body control module) and with the proper programming on a computer you can go into it and change a number of perimeters. I have a...

    Anti's trying to ban Mountain Lion and Bobcat Hunting

    I have been wondering just who the voters are planning on believing. The TV adds put out so much miss information that it is scary. I just started seeing adds for those against it. If I was a betting man, and I am I would say that it is too close to call until after the election. If the...

    Weather in SW Colorado

    I always associated it with the opening of Utah's general deer season and since the opened at the same time I never got to hunt Colorado's 2nd season. I also had a hard time getting it off since a more senior employee also hunted 2nd season but we got it all worked out. But this gap between...

    Credit Cards Getting hit for Spring Draws

    I have alerts set up on all of my CC's for any charge where the card isn't present. It's a pain in the rear at times but I know what is going on with it. We started out hunting 37a west of Catalina and had no idea of what we were doing. Then we screwed up on the draw and went into 33 and...

    Credit Cards Getting hit for Spring Draws

    That's the official way. I remember when I drew out for my second coues deer hunt for the second year in a row for a December hunt. My CC showed the charge and I couldn't believe it, I went in and made sure that I had applied for the correct unit which I did. Then the wait began, it finally...

    Garmin 67i

    I used a Garmin 62SC for years before the chip for the maps became obsolete but I still use it to come up with hunt unit boundaries here in Colorado. The biggest problem that I ever had with it is the size of the screen, but as long as you can zoom in and out you'll learn how to work with it.

    Knee Pads

    Your problem is that you are just going to have to try them and see if you like them. I got some cheepo's at Harbor Freight and the straps just didn't work for me. I got them for doing work around the house and yard. My last pair came from Ace Hardware, but I haven't used them that much to...

    CPW is accepting statewide applications for the Sportsperson’s Roundtable through Nov. 8

    I agree with CC, odds are they already know who they plan on picking through the good old boy network. But to make it legal they need to allow other applications.

    Broken Stuff

    The rifle seasons are just starting here in Colorado so it is about time to take a drive to see the carnage that is happening to trailers from out of state as hunters show up. I was thinking a few years ago that a person could make a pretty good seasonal living just of a portable welding rig...

    Broken Stuff

    That must of been a lot of whopping before you got it stopped. Been there done that. I once had a 10 ply trailer tire start to come apart. I nursed it home 150 miles without it coming completely apart. Quite a few good people would pass me as I was doing 50 in a 75mph zone and indicate that...

    Gun cases

    I have both. 99% of the time a good padded soft case will fit the bill, even if the rifle has to ride in the back of the truck with other equipment and junk as long as it fits into it's spot nice and snug and the weather is good. Hard cases are required for flights and are good to use when...

    What kind of insurance? Personal liability or something else? You would be best off talking to your insurance provider once you find out what kind of insurance is required.
