This thread is a bit of an eye opener for me. Where I live we drive pickup trucks into the mountains with chains, straps, cables, & blocks to scrounge deadwood, preferably of the standing variety.
And I've never even heard of ATV hours. What I hate is those stupid 25 thousand dollar neon colored golf carts all the city faggits bring out and drive around drunk at night down my 2 mile private road. Making me chase them down to tell them to stay out. They all go away after labor day though. Life is good in the winter.
Too Funny, I live on the beach, and my town has turned into a golf cart haven, so I have to deal with drunk yuppies NOT EVEN stopping for stop signs, blaring cuntry pop out of the speakers (they can't have a conversation), and giving motor vehicles the stink eye for being motor vehicles on the road. I always have one trailer or the other in tow, and my ASV does not like being crowded. The worst part is after dark, they let their teenagers drive them- unlicensed- music changes, and they use the sidewalks alot.
The side by sides? Fortunately, my ranch is private enough I dont see them, and the fire breaks are camera-ed, and the retiree who owns so much of the land around and behind me, is both grouchy and "don't give a ****" and rich enough to set a wet carpet on fire with $100 mbiulls as kindling, that he would take care of any of them ********. They are self limiting at least. They figure they can submarine them, and go through anything. They can't, wind up getting towed back to their trailer, and then you don't see them for weeks or more.
