atv hunting

Post by iinvno1 »

I dont have any pics right now but quite simple! quad, a trailer and dog box. What I have found that I think would work best but have not got it done yet is this. The above mentioned but the trailer needs to be the same width as the quad, it also should have atv tires as I have had trouble in the snow w/out them. I have thought of using two cheep snowboards as skis if needed. The bracket would be simple to mount boards.
The long bawl in early fall,the steady chop, the hammer drop. The chase and the tree, the passion of hunting for you and me. The old dog and the pup, the juvenile thats always corrupt.The snow the rain the laughter and pain. These dogs called hounds, we chase through the brush, waiting for the tree, our next big rush.

I ran 5 dogs in Idaho on this trailer and it had to be beefed up after my 1st trip...but after adding the gussets to the tongue and resetting the a arms inside the frame, it seems to be solid and rides great.

Test pilot...wasn't going to risk one of my hounds if the trailer failed...he's just an aussy!

I had 6 locations to snap in the dogs.

Had independent suspension that I actually modified again after this model was finished.  I lowered the deck of the trailer by moving the arms inside of the frame of the trailer and set them a little further out which made it way more stable.

I use my quad a little, this is what i have found that works good. the racks on the quad are 47'' wide and the trailer is 44'' wide so i can use them in the 48'' or less areas. the trailer is 5 ft long the trailer has a area in the front for gear storage. i started with just the quad and hunted with 7 dogs on it but it was just to hard on the quad. so now i put 4 on the quad and up to 6 in the trailer. I like hunting off the quad if its nice out. but in the rain i still like the truck.
