On C/list now post 2hrs ago. That will plow some food plots for yeah. Talk um down a bit. Polaris Sportsman 6x6- ONLY 500 miles - $4,500 Registration card in hand and ready to go . 2005 Polaris sportsman 6x6. 500 cc. Runs great , carb just gone through , spark plug replaced. Brand new battery. ONLY 500 original miles . Comes with plow and winch .

C/List is dying with not that many wheelers or sleds posted as there use to be. I know some folks don't want to get on Facebook, but Facebook Market place is the site to look on now. Tons of them listed. You could join, look for what you want, then get off before the relatives find out! Lol I picked up a 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500HO almost spotless with only about 450 miles on it last fall for $3500. It does take some digging and price wrangling, I looked at a few before I found this one. He wanted $3,800 for it. Good Luck.

If nonresident, the first 2 seasons can be tough to draw. The closest I have drawn was the C season.

Mileage can be relative.....my last wheeler had 10,000+ miles on it and I sold it to a friend. He is still riding it with over 13,000. Since that time I have put over 6000 on my current one. I was going to update this year but decided against it since they are so hard to come by right now. (and I still love this one) I am admittedly a diehard Honda owner and have never and likely wouldn’t shop for anything else. I’ve had 13 different ATVs in the 44 years I’ve owned them and to this day not one has ever had a warranty visit. I think that speaks volumes. I don’t baby my machine, it’s seen it’s

Its hard to say, 1k miles in mud and beaten on could be worse than a well maintained machine with 5k that saw easy use. I always look at the seat, the exhaust pipe and tires. If the seat is worn, has holes etc it been ridden hard. If you can still read the logo and it doesn't have any rips or tears that says a lot. If the exhaust header pipe and muffler is rusty its seen a lot of mud and water. If the tires are not OEM it had the original tires worn off. What did they replace them with and why? If they replaced it with big mud tires they rode in mud etc. Talk to the owner, make s

Under 5K. Looking at the list of Craig, that puts me in late 90's early 2000's machine for the most part with a few newer in that range. What is considered high miles for an ATV? Most I see are in the 2000 range.

what's your budget? any of the newer machines in the last 10yrs will be reliable regardless of brand. get power steering if you can swing it I am actually shopping hard right now myself. Looking to spend $5k to $7500 but prices are crazy right now. If I go any higher I might as well get a SxS. New prices are ridiculous for both. I am just looking for that low mileage machine that someone never used and wants to get rid of. They are out there someone just keeps gets to them before I do.

I've never owned an ATV and ridden very few. I am looking to get a used machine for my hunting property. It will be mainly used for food plot creation and maintenance as well as some snow plowing. Any recommendations or things to look for?

shut down facebook I miss the glory days on here and seeing these builds

I did exactly the same thing, those pictures are invaluable. Mine starts with the bare trailer the day I brought it home. Man, that was a lot of work hours ago. What needs to be done to get people back on HSO?

What he said ^^^^^^^ I created a "build book" that I keep in the fish house. It is fun to look back and reminisce on the building of the shack when fishing is slow. I took measurements of the main runs before spray foaming and wrote them in. I is also easy to count the number of pine boards each run is up on the inside..... One of the other benefits of finishing from the inside to the outside!

How tough is it to get drawn for wi? A few buddies would try for the first 2 seasons and we have an uncles farm to hunt on so property isn’t an issue.

Your state's farm credit agency. They cannot be beat because they operate under coop rules with federal protections.

Those wiring notes are invaluable. I never put in a screw or nail without checking them. Seating with those table/ booth things has to be the most uncomfortable things on earth. Never quite big enough to sit at and a pain to get in and out of. I did a couch type thing and have a collapsible table I keep in the bathroom for playing cards and stuff. You can store a TON of stuff under it too.

Me too, woodpeckers, little brown somethings, and blue jays. I have ton of squirrels, some of them look big enough to feed a family of 4.

Looks good! Plenty of room in my site for that trailer. I'd be happy to do some riding with you.

Ha! My wife and I ride 2-up on a 400 and we have plenty of fun. You guys all have way more money than me. I have to ride my old 2000 Yamaha Kodiak that I have had since 2001.

Did a lot of my riding and camping up on the North shore of lake Superior. I added a Seat concepts seat and a ATV cover on that. Windshield, skid plate, soft side bags, 12v plug for a GPS and gps mount and foam over grips. No crazy mods, kept it all stock for reliability. At 42 HP stock it had plenty of power for me and I would rather get there then get half way faster! Lol

2009 Sportsman 500HO. only had about 450 miles on it.

Just south of you we all kinds of birds. Mostly wood peckers, finches and blue jays. filling everything about every other day.

I sold the last of my ATV's in Sept while the used market was hot with intentions to upgrade. I figured there wouldn't be any better time where the price on old beat up machines would be higher. I couldnt believe what people were willing to pay for 15-20yr old ATV's that had seen some tough use. My plan was all these people were buying stuff and realized they would never use it and sell it when they didnt want to store it for the winter. I figured with a saturated market we would see some good deals to be had this time of year but people are just buying everything up at absurd pric

Leech, I saw where you were looking for riding partners, I'd take you up on it now. Lol. I imagine you have a lot of nice dual sport riding in your area, we have lots of it in western ND also, hence the DR. I love this bike. I wish you were parting with that white one about now, I'd take it off your hands. I like that color. I've done a few mods to mine, the seat had to go! I've added an engine case guard since this photo was taken. I'm waiting for bark busters to get here, they are a necessity. Then I will be good.

I hunted Idaho this past fall for deer and elk. We seen a fair number of turkeys. I plan to go out a little early for the hunt next year. I was thinking I could add a turkey hunt to the fun. Does anyone have any experience hunting turkey in the fall in Idaho? I would be deer / elk unit 6. Thanks minky
