Thread: Setting up a quad for hunting

It's only a light quad. I just throw the winch wire under it and winch it backwards. Winch rope rubs underneath but it would take years to even mark the underneath We talking three or four times a year. On the front is nice. Chuck the rope over the rafters it' lifts whole bike off the ground for a good clean. 500 Honda not that light but it's effortless

I just use a wire strainer as a winch. Light, doesn't get messed up so much, portable, versatile, ...

Think 'less is more', why make a light manoeuvrable lightweight vehicle heavy and ungainly.

Home made, couldn't buy a nice light one that one person could lift onto trailer. Beer and welding what could go wrong.

Rifle rack is rubber covered and not marking at all on rifle. You can't see it but I fitted halved plastic 10cm down pipe under the rack to stop mud getting on the rifle.

here is my version easy enough to take on and off.

Here's my version...

And here's mine

The shooting frame is the right height to rest your elbows on handlebars for a steady shot. Gun holder is handy for holding spade, grubber or standards. A frame on front for towing behind tractor etc

This is my set up and the spray tank provides a good rest when shooting.

Looks like it would do a fair bit of exfoliation that's for sure!

Just remember that if you are seriously stuck, access under the bike to run a cable back might be a struggle.

I think that is what Mrs Dundee is for.
