A Elk hunt that went WAY WRONG!
« on: September 16, 2016, 09:13:33 PM »
    My Uncle Jim shot at a cow elk just before dark on Sunday evening. He thought he missed but didn't have a flash light with him and wanted to make sure. He went back to his camper and got his flashlight after marking the area with flagging tape. He drove his NEW Odes 4 wheeler back to the location to check for blood. When arriving he left his 4 wheeler running on the road and found his arrow, NO BLOOD AT ALL ON IT AND CLEAN AS A WHISTLE. While walking back uphill to the road he smells something burning 🔥. When he caresses the top of the hill to the road he sees his 4 wheeler completely engulfed in flames 👀 🔥! Poor Uncle had to call the local fire department to come put his 4 wheeler out, and the next morning he snapped a picture and it was completely burnt down to the frame! Luckily he got a 5 year warranty with it but after 10 hours of use this should NEVER HAPPEN! Just thought I'd share this unfortunate story of a miss and a loss of a 4 wheeler all at once. How much worse luck could you possibly have? My Uncle is a trooper though and last I heard from my cousin Jeremy he was up chasing around a bull. Everyone please be safe, and DON'T BUY AN ODES 4 WHEELER!

Me neither till he brought it up for our bear hunt. We dropped it off with his trailer at one of his friends property about 100 miles from their, and this happened next. The fire department said it must have had a faulty gas line. Hope they cover this under. the warranty. I'm just glad he wasn't on the dang thing when it went up in flames.

Better it burn without an elk strapped to it. :chuckle:
