It looks like more of a bug deflector than a windshield. Is that a gun holder you have them horns attached too?
I love it......

Big'uns :!: It looks more like the aftermath of a roadkill than a windshield though.

Yup its my rifle rack. Decent way to get one or two back to the truck. I actually put them back on my quad to take that pic when i got home, just think it looks neat, but ive recently learned that people can pull gps coordinates from cell phone pics, so i wont be sharing any more "on location" photos online. So i just set them back up like that on my own property for the pic.

I did not know that. The guy next to me took some picture yesterday in on the top of the screen in had the township he was in. He said you can shut that feature off on his Iphone 6. Something to look into

Sweet! With a bit of adjustment, you could use your rig as a moving decoy :D Not sure that would be legal though :lol:

Yup. Been having a good week. Every time i go out i find something. Even when i just do a quick hike through a new area. Usually i get skunked more often than not, but ive been on a roll lately. Unfortunately i have to head to the coast tomorrow (damn work) so im pretty much done shed hunting for the year. When i get back i have to start getting the rest of my cameras hung up. And at some point i need to squeeze in some work around my property.
