Not many people want to pick up a guy with a rifle standing along side the road! eek Maybe you should have hide it some where and came back to pick it up later? wink

Not many people will stop to pick anyone up these days. Personally if I see a guy in blaze orange flagging me down during hunting season I'm going to assume he needs some sort of assistance. I'd have stopped for you.

I hear ya. Been there and done that. It is unfortunate that people feel the world is so dangerous that they should not stop and help some one.

I personally make a habit of stopping if the situation feels okay and I am able to. 99/100 there is no problem or they got it under control. That 1/100 though they usually saw what you did, a hundred people went by and no one even slowed down. And people wonder how Kitty Genovese happened....

I did stash my gun cause i thought that too.. nobody will pick up a guy carrying a gun. But nobody picked me up anyways lol should of kept the gun with me maybe a fellow hunter would of put 2 and 2 together. Atleast the sheriff gave me a ride after a pat down lol. And i got my shooting stick and lured in the buck again tonight but he didnt come out into the open. Tomorrow i will call for him and not use scent. I guessin 2 days in a row him comin to the scent will not make a 3rd time. But the bleat will get him!

Good luck with him!

I'll stop to check on a person if they're waving me down or showing some indication they need help. You, in blaze, trodding down the highway without a gun would make me wonder enough to at least ask. I would expect you to have one if things were normal and OK!

Even with the gun, if you try to flag me down, I'd check on you during deer season. Maybe risky in some people's eyes but I'm one of those that carry some type of insurance. If you're just walking then I'm just driving.

Been a little off course myself before. I can sympathize with a long unplanned walk...

I forgot my shooting sticks last year one afternoon. Made one by finding a Y shaped stick, killed a buck using it an hour later. I kept the thing for the memories.

Bummer story but you made a memory.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?     
    • Mike89
      but if he really wants I can change the date..  
    • Wanderer
      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.
    • Wanderer
      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.
