Hi lads,
I took the Blue Meanie out for the week end. A mate and I went by 4x4 about 10klms into virgin scrub then we loaded the Grizz with food, water, camping and hunting gear for two men by 2 days and rode through more virgin scrub for over an hour (about 12 klms).
We made camp just off a flood plain just on dark. We went out at sunrise and I got my mate onto a nice boar (with his Bow) I then blew a stalk on a good boar, then walked for a few hours looking for more pigs.
After lunch back at camp we loaded the Griz with the same two men, day packs and hunting gear. We travelled around 12klms through grass upto 6 feet high. The ground was really rough in places particularly where the feral pigs had rooted up the soil, but the Grizz handled it in fine form. My mate then shot his first Buff with his new 375H&H (that was really awesome). I got the Grizz bogged in a small crossing (bottomless soft sticky mud) and winched her out no worries.
The next day we just cruised the flood plains checking for prospective hunting areas before riding to an unknown waterole to check it out for Barramundi and Saratoga, They were there but we were stung by paper wasps and had to retreat back to the 4x4 and into town (around 3 hours away as I am allergic to the little buggers)
The Grizz performed like an absolute champion. I was knocking over sand palms as round as my forearm and bigger cutting a path as needed. Some of the terrain was horrendous and the extra inch or so from the lift kit more than helped.
All in all I just want to say what most of you Lads already know.......
THESE MACHINES ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you enjoy the pics.
Cheers Noel
