Hi all trying to find a way to carry dead game (deer and pigs ) home with my truck problem is the boot has my dog box which never comes out and takes up most my boot so trying to find away to cart my game home if the spare tyre wasn't so small I'd hung the animal over the tyre and tie it on but it's no that big does anyone have and idea of like a rack that attaches to say tow ball or somethings like that the tow ball is a fixed and permanent unit so can't slide it out Attachment 50803
Make/buy an alloy tray that mounts to your roof racks
I would use one that does not allow blood to come through

Or the old taxi luggage rack in the towbar frame.
Tied across the bonnet would be good for the redneck look.
I wonder if a stainless fridge/freezer door could be adapted?Quote:

Can you not reduce the height of the dog box and put the deer/pig up on top of dog box?

Take the dog out of the box first if you do that.......
Remove dog box and put deer/pigs there dog can sit on top.
Its not a rolls royce, throw it in the back seat, thats what hunting trucks are for
Cheers guys yeah gonna get a roof rack might be hard lifting a big animal up there haha and yeah definitely not a rolls Royce but got to cart my new born round in the back so don't want the back caked in shit. And having it stink like dead crap haha
What about pushing the back seats forward, and the the box, then a good old 2 metre $5 tarp in the space thus created? A new tarp will keep the crap off vehicle inners, and cheap enough to bin if crapped up
I know a hard case old fella that use to own a 3 door Rav4. He does a heap of hunting and does several trips over Rahtihi way each year for meat hunts and the Fallow rut. Anyway after one of these trips he had shot several deer, and had run out of room in the little Rav to put them all and the rest of his gear. He still had to fit in one more deer, so he sat it up in the passenger seat and secured it with the seatbeat.Quote:

I use a heavy duty (Over engineered and home made) Bike rack. I made it to hold my bike, and welded a couple lugs to hold fuel cans too.
I agree - should be able to get a Q'spear rack pretty cheap and this just goes over the tow ball and tightens with an Allen key.
...quality easy fitting rack... | Trade Me
Definitely the strongest buggers out there
Don't do that - ran a rack on my Vitara for a few years, big animals put too much pressure on where the mounts join the roof - and the flex split the roof.Quote:

i'd go for an adapted bike rack on the towbar, can always run a rope through the back door and tye it off to something inside the car if its too heavy. is the spare tyre really that small? i know you can get mounts for hi-lift jacks etc that fit through the existing wheel nuts on the mount could you weld something up there?
A couple of thoughts:
1. With deer and goats, bone the meat out in the field and bring it home in bags. Way easier and shit loads less weight to carry out. An average red hind fully boned is around the 25kg mark plus/minus 5kg. Why carry all the bone and hid just to throw it away?
2. Why are you looking at the back of the truck? Anything at the rear of the truck will impede your access to the back door. Put a decent bull bar on the front and hang the animal off the front. Set up some rigging points on the bar and use your pigging strings to tie them up, (or put a couple of outriggers on to sit the animal on). Used to do this on the old series LR. Increases the bragging factor as well and you get to see the surprised looks on their faces as you go past (not sure if that was the dead animal on the front of the fact that they were being overtaken by a LR ....?)
3. Be careful is you are worried about your paint finish. Blood is quite corrosive and will etch your paint job, therefore the likes of a rook rack is a problem.

I carry 6 heavy duty plastic bags of approx 400x500 and can fit a hind fully boned into 4 bags and have room to tie a knot in the top. Keeps the inside of my pack clean and the meat goes straight into the fridge unopened until it needs processing. These are extra heavy weight and are hard to puncher.
Some very good points I'd definitely give the bull bar thing a try only problem is I seem to have a dud model and can't find a bull bar that for my year escudo but in saying that I don't know a hell of a lot about them might also look at the bike rack idea and boning is and good idea but love have whole carcasses for dog tucker!
I have a Suzuki jimny with a dog box in the back I managed to get a full grown red hind on top off it just tied it up and slid it in no worries :)
