This is only my second post, but I think I've found a new home!

I've been reading and lurking here for a while and I feel like I'll fit in around here a lot better than one of those "other" sites. As ya'll know, there are no sand dunes in South Eastern America. Nuff Said on that. GRINNNNN. I'm only into Rhino ownership by about 3 weeks and I gotta tell ya, I don't miss my quad one little bit. I LOVE this thing. Dodging trees in the West Virginia hardwoods, top end didn't mean much to me. (I'm a retired old fart also and don't bounce like I once did) The tow rating and haul rating was the same on the 450, 660 & 700. So I went with the 450 and saved a good bit of dough. My 09 450 suits me just fine.
I'm one of those lucky SOB's whose wife likes to hunt and is a deer killin machine. All those years of riding double on a Honda 4 wheeler and neither of us got hurt. I really feel like I made the right decision at the right time. This thing runs like a top and as you can see from the last day of doe season, it hauls everything we need it to!

Hope ya'll don't mind another old Redneck hanging out with you and having fun. I like it here just fine. Thanks folks.

Phil...

Good to have you Phil and I'm like you I love riding thru the woods and don't care a thing about no wide open spaces they have out west in those dunes etc:

Phil,

Welcome, you'll fit-in just fine!!!!!!

No, we don't like sand fleas... wood ticks for us'uns !! Glad ta have ya here mane !!!!

Phil. Yep sounds like ya fit right in!!! Is it the better half that is the Deer killing machine???

A bed full of deer ......................yep, he's from West Virginia.

Glad to have ya here!

Ya , you will fit in well here. we dont do sand.......

Another WV guy!!! You will not be disappointed with having the Rhino. I felt the same way about doubling during deer season. I cannot tell you how many times I have almost flipped over backwards because I was doubling friends and treestands and climbing gas lines in WV. I feel fortunate to have never gotten injured. Now the Rhino will carry me, a friend, our bows, our stands and our deer comfortably. Welcome to the site and hope to ride with you soon.


Where in Wood County do you live? I love that area. I used to hunt out on Deer Walk and over into Gilmer County and also some over in Roane County.

I live right near the Airport just out of Williamstown. This years Single "A" State Champs I might add. I too used to hunt in Gilmer County a good bit. In fact, here's a couple Gilmer County Bucks for ya.

One last and most important thing. God Bless you sir for your service to our Country and thank you from the bottom of this old Sailors heart for protecting me and the family as we sleep in peace and safety. Come home safe and sound. My son in law just got back from Afghanistan a short time ago. He's Air Force, but we don't hold that against him. GRINNN

See what I mean?

I don't hit it as hard as I used to. I'm gettin old and tired.

But every now and then, even old farts can "Get Er Done" GRINNNNNN

Hey...a little "Nap" is sometimes just what the Doctor ordered....but buddy, ya can't let her take pic's of it!!!!!

I know just where you are talking about. My ex-girlfriend's parents live in the Mullenex subdivision (Roger and Becky Kingery) and I love that whole area. I am actually trying to get in to a job with the WVNG full-time, and Wood County would be one of the top choices of places to settle. We will have to see.

As far as the service.......I am glad to do it. I am very proud to wear the uniform and do what I do. I am looking forward to coming home, re-connecting with the family, meeting and riding with new friends, and most definitely getting some hunting in next year.

Tell your son-in-law congrats on getting home safely. Those AF guys do short deployments, but they work alot during the deployments.

Hope to meet you soon brother.

Tracy is a fine young lady and Roger and Becky live just a few doors down the street from me. Roger and Becky are about as good as they come. When was the last you heard anything about them? Rog isn't doing so well. BAD health issues I'm sorry to say. I've lived here in Mullenix for over 36 years. Only about 10 or so houses when we built here. Now way over a hundred. How about that? Only been here a few days and already "Know" someone! When is your deployment due to end? When you get back I'll put on a pot of coffee and tell you some stories about your old girlfriend that will have you laughing you backside off. Tracy is married to a guy that I don't know. They have a little girl and all seem to be getting along just fine. Man, it really is a small world isn't it? Take care and KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!

welcome to your new home it is like family here .not from west by god but stayed many a summer in Kenna wv an also the Lewisburg area when grandpartents were a live

Hey Tick, How about this!!!!!! I was digging around in the past and found this thread that is over a year old. Yeah, I think you found a home alright. You have been here a year now. Man that one went fast. Congrats buddy. We are glad you found us.......

Phil is dug in like a "tick" here.

My Gosh it just don't seem like it's been that long already! I guess that which I'd always heard about the older one gets the faster the time goes is really true! Made some really good friends here this past year. Some of ya'll really helped me through the tragedy that befell our family this past summer. For that, I will remain forever grateful. Wishing everyone a Joyous and Merry Christmas. May ya'll get everything ya want! Now, lets get busy and have some more fun!

you always bring a bright spot to my day tick , glad to have you on board!
