[Pappy]

We have been busy looking for ways to bring in outside sponsorship for the site that will help everyone in our sport.

Please welcome Gander Mountain and Pizza Hut!!!

Two big sponsors that have taken steps to help support us and the sport of ATV'ing!!!

[Quad18star]

Welcome aboard !!!!!

[chris46250r]

Welcome and THANKS! I can say that I used both of thier services this weekend.

[Scro]

Sweet! It's good to see non-atv related sponsors. Now if we can get Pizza Hut to match the 10% discount that C&D offers, I'll be in business.;)

Haha wow I never heard of this 10% discount C&D offers. They tried charing me $50 more then east coast wanted for my a arms and brake lines.

Different prices are often indictitive of volume and can be higher or lower by dealer. This goes for many many aftermarket parts and how the particuliar dealer is supplied.

yeah i dont think its actually there. I once sent an email and asked about prices for parts then i mentioned being amember on ATVriders and they advertised a 10% discount and they said its already in the prices they gave me which didnt make sense because they gave me the price before i mentioned about being a member. oh well still good people to deal with. pizzahut mmm can we get a discount on that? lol

[ZeroLogic]

Nice! Man the site grew so much the passed few years. Congrats! Do we all get discounts?!:blah: :macho

[rollie]

Just a geuss, but I doubt they wont offer anything beyond their national discounts. It will help the site if you click their banner and print off the coupon's however!

I know I just applied for a Gander Mountain CC, they offer 10% off the initial purchase, plus 5% I think back on every in store purchase. The wife doesnt like GM...due to how much I spend there:chinese: :devil:

Can you get Best Buy to sponser us so I can get a printer?:p I saw that CC offer they had. Looks like a killer deal if ya shop there a lot. I'm more of a Cabelas guy.:p

[Pappy]

Cabelas is sweet. The closest one to me is 3 hours away so i dont frequent it but we do plan to go there. I have 2 Ganders within an hour so they get the bulk of my business. You really have to watch the sales flyers on alot of these big chains and look for the coupons, sometimes (and if you can hold off for the sales) you can really save some coin.

[Quad18star]

I didn't know what Gander Mountain was either , until you said what it is. I usually order through Cabela's , but it all comes from the USA ( No Cabela's in Canada :( ) ... so needless to say if GM will ship to Canada , they'll get some of my business.

[Pappy]

I could be wrong, but I dont think GM does mail order.

Same up here. Its like three and a half hours away. In Harrisburg, they have huge gun and knife shows. So my dad and I go up there and we go to Cabelas too.:p You ever eat there? They sure do got some good food!

[Pappy]

Wheeling WV is the one I will go to. From what im told, many go there not to shop, but to see the different things that have set up and to the special events they offer. Ive been to the Bass pro shops a few times, but they wree priced a bit high for my wallet. It was still cool to see all the things they offer.

[Quad18star]

Bass Pro is pretty sweet ... we've got one about 4 hrs from here and they've got a ton of stuff. Lots of nice stuff ... but I found it quite pricey. I could actually get the same fishing tackle at WalMart usually for a few dollars cheaper than what BP was priced at.

Still pretty nice to walk in and see the decor.

Mmmmmmmmmm Pizza HUT!

Yea, the thing they have set up are amazing. Really neat to look at. I could spend a whole day in that store just looking at all the stuff they got set up! Bass pro shop ain't bad but like you said, they are over priced. But man, they do got a lot of stuff!:p I wait until winter to restock my lures. Prices go way way down for bass and trout supplies.:macho

[Pappy]

Same here...wally world will mark down everything to pennies on teh dollar now that hunting season is here and we will fill our tackle boxes.

I do the same come spring, especially right after christmas. Anything hunting related they have left is rock bottom priced.

The Bass Pro Shop can be dangerous. I have one about a half hour from my house so when its crappy outside or im just bored ill go walk around the place looking for something new. Seems like everytime I go there I never leave empty handed haha.

[honda300EXtreme]

pizza and sporting goods, the best combination in a long time :p

Book yourself a weekend do to a photoshoot at a wedding and Whammm ... new rifle for Kenny !!!! :p


By the way ... I've been meaning to ask ... have you done any other fishing lately? Anymore walleye? The good season is fast approaching. :devil: I love the fall ... I can combine hunting and fishing all together. :D

[Pappy]

We havent been out in almost 2 weeks, mainly due to the kids starting back to school. The wife and I are going out in the morning after the last rugrat is put on the bus just to get out for a few hours. We to are waiting for a bit cooler weather for the big ones to start biting!

We did have some catfish and walleye for supper tonight tho:D

[Quad18star]

I might head out this weekend. I talked to my old man and he said he and another guy went out for a few hours this morning to a little lake they found and caught over 70 pike. They kept their limit of 6 each ... largest was about 7lbs. He told me the walleye are starting to bite up in his end ... he landed a 5lbs the other day ... so I gotta go wet the line.

A few more weeks and partridge season opens up ... gotta get the little gun all cleaned up. :p Moose opens in a month ... so I gotta get the big gun cleaned up .... she hasn't been fired in a few years. :(


Have you found a way to clean walleye so that there's no bones in it? Let me know if you didn't.

How do ya like the Brownings? Don't one of your sons got the A bolt? Hows that shoot? I brought a Kimber M84 in .308 last year and finally shot it a few weeks ago. Man its dead on but the fireing pin is so touchy. I was hitting 1 inch circles at two hundread yards dear on every shot.:macho

[Pappy]

The wife handled all teh fish cleaning and stuff, i did not find any bones so I reckon she has it under control:p

Dove season started monday here, I got a ground hog:chinese:

Cody used an A-bolt in 243 for the past several years. Its was plenty accurate but I cant stand them. Just personal taste, nothing wrong with them, im just a remington man:p he now shoots a model 7 in 7mm08 and i just bought a new 700 in 308, the VTR model.

I'd hate to site in the Model 7. Must kick like a motha.

[Pappy]

Shoots like a champ and has very mild recoil

[Quad18star]

Bear hunting is easy ........ get a bunch of old meat ... syrup .... rotten whatever and throw it all in a pail . Hang it in the woods. Do this for a few weeks before opening day and the bears will just keep comming back day after day. Once opening day comes around ... you sit there with your rifle and pick off the bear. If you google Bear Baiting , it'll give you more specifics. :p

Give me more notice next year and you're more than welcome to come pick off a few bears . The season opened in late August around here ... and there's more bears than you can imagine... especially since they cancelled our spring hunt a few years back.


I'm not too fond of Bear meat ..... it's a very tough meat and doesn't taste the best. If you can get away with it , without getting caught ... gall bladders from bears sell for HUGE money in China Towns . They apparently use it for ancient receipes. Very illegal though. My mom's uncle got busted a few years back .... they took everything he owned and was thrown in jail for a year. :huh

[Pappy]

Baiting bears in WV is illegal, we dont have the bear population to support that type of hunting.

[troyleepred719]

I have a Gander MT 5 mins away, a Cabelas 35 mins away, and a 30Dicks 10 minutes Away :) Matter of Fact, I just bought a .308, 7 ot 8, and SA .45 from Gander...
