Thread: Setting up a quad for hunting

Winch might be good for pulling a deer up over a tree branch to butcher it up.

Yeap I have chucked a pulley and a short bit of rope with a gamble in my front box for that reason.

I also carry 20m of rope to extend the reach of the winch.

Have used it on a couple of occasions too.

@Ryan_Songhurst

Manuka trees work well

But these seem like a standard design.

Easy enough to make one out of an old shovel blade an some pipe if your keen.

down here we have tussocks, and rocks

A short length of 50x6 with 4-5 holes drilled in it. D shackle at one end and pins to drive into ground. Or a old bale fork and hammer

Got two here you could copy, one is useless that lonesome made up for me..... Might just be I can't use it!

you can make a pretty compact one with a lenght of angle iron, maybe 600-800mm long for a quad? drill a serries of holes mayby 20mm dia down each flat, weld a loop on one end so the angle sits on the ground with the point apwards. Make up a pile of rebar pegs and just hammer them through the holes in the angle iron

Are ya going hunting or entering a winch challenge????

Haha, im pretty keen on going for an explore into the Oteake since my parents live at Danseys Pass and I have jever been in there, might not carry all the gear/accesories all the time but in a big area like that it would be good to be prepared for all eventualities. Bought a set of Kendas for it yesterday too, will get them put on sometime this week

Might throw a set of new tyres at it and I reckon she's ready to go hunting.

I think a set of good aggressive tyre is more important. Never had a winch on any of my bikes or work ones and we worked on some remote ,shit places.

What do you guys carry for flat repair ?

I've got those sticky spaghetti sticks and a small 12v compressor. I once patched up a rip in the side wall that took 3 pieces and it lasted for years. A mate has the same shit but has a push bike pump as it takes up less room for him.
I also run Slime in my tyres and I'm sure this has been a major help in not having flats.

I wondered how they would go in a sidewall rip, would have to be one of the more common ways of getting a flat.
