Howdy, folks! New here, and new to ATV's. Finally broke down and bought one last hunting season to help reduce damage on the lease when it rains. It's a Honda Rancher 420, and I'm adding a few things to it here and there to better adapt it to my use. Already installed a rear receiver hitch to be able to pull the trailer I haul it with in and out of the back yard, plus around the lease as needed. It also gives me some great tie-down points on the trailer.
Just picked up a front receiver hitch to mount a deer feeder to - now I've gotta look around here and get input on the best place to tie the power in for it, along with some ideas for some LED driving lights. Any suggestions will be welcome. For the record, I do NOT use "line taps" - I'm old school, so everything will be done with fused circuits w/relays. I've wired a LOT of motorcycles over the years for aux. lights, strobes, etc. - so I'm quite comfortable doing it, just need to find the proper points to tie it all in. I'm assuming there's a switched aux. circuit on the machine somewhere.
Other than that.....I'm an old-school firearms enthusiast/collector, primarily focusing on 1911's. I own several Class III guns, and hunt with a suppressed 7mm mag. If you've never suppressed a large-caliber rifle, you NEED to try it - between the sound reduction (100% hearing safe) and recoil reduction (makes a 7mm mag feel like a .243), it can't be beat! I'm on a number of different gun boards around the country under the same screen name - so if we "know" each other, say "howdy"!!
