Chevy Silverado Goes Mudding with the Cows
Silverado Z71 isn’t just playing in the mud, the owner is making his way to hog-hunting grounds.
There are many uses for a Chevrolet Silverado Z71 with a big lift, big tires and four-wheel-drive, but the host of the Redneck Weekly YouTube channel uses his to go hog hunting. While his channel focuses more on hunting than his truck, he has posted a few videos of his hard-working Silverado digging through the slop while on his way to key hunting areas, some of which are also inhabited by cows. The result is a solid mudding video with a cameo by a large herd of cows.
Hog-Hunting Silverado
If you are not familiar with hog hunting, we aren’t talking about the cute, cuddle little piggies that bring us bacon. We are talking about wild hogs that do massive amounts of damage to other wildlife, farm animals, pets and property. In some areas, booming hog populations have become a major safety issue, so hog hunting has become a necessity to keep the numbers down.
Evidently, the host of Redneck Weekly is active in the population control process of wild American hogs and he uses his Chevrolet Silverado Z71 to get to the hunting grounds. These hogs are often located in dense, wooded areas where they have plenty of cover in which to hide and forage for food, so getting to the areas to hunt these nasty beasts can be as tough as the hunt itself.
In the case of this Chevy owner, he has to first make his way through a large cow pasture before crossing some deep water in the woods. Fortunately, the lifted Silverado with big mud tires makes short work of most obstacles.
Mudding with Cows
The video begins with the Chevrolet Silverado digging its way along a path through a muddy cow pasture. Not only is it a sloppy mess, but there is a steady uphill grade that gradually increases as the truck gets further from the camera, so the process gets tougher as the driver moves forward. However, with the big tires and 4.56 gears, the Z71 is able to make it to the top of the hill.
The next segment is further into the woods, with the Silverado approaching what looks like a big puddle. With a cow closely monitoring the situation, the Chevy pulls into the puddle and quickly sinks up to the wheel wells, but with a bit of throttle, the V8-powered pickup is able to pull up onto dry land. Just for good measure, the video also includes footage of the truck coming back through that same hole, followed by on-truck footage of a similar water crossing.
Finally, the video ends with the Chevrolet Silverado coming down the hill that it climbed at the start of the clip, roaring through the mud with a bit more speed on the way down.
