What do you think?
« on: Nov 10, 2013, 12:10 PM »
Think this will work?  Kind of hard to see in the pictures, but what do you think?









Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics.  Just have everything snugged in place, there is a bit of material I want to pick up after lunch and give me a bit more time to think about it.

That looks way cheaper than most other systems that I have seen! Do you put jigging poles in the gun boot? Or??

I'm going to put some pvc tubes in the milk crate to hold rods.  Still room under the power head to have some tackle, bait, ect.  The sled is pulling triple duty, fishing, trapping/hunting, and trail riding.  I wanted to be able to remove everything in case I just wanted to hit the trails.  I'll get a few more pics later today once I get it set up a little more permanently.

Looks like a great way to transport the auger!

I like how nice and compact everything fits, it'll be great for times you have to ride down any narrow trails.
A bad day of fishing beats anything else I'd be doing today.....

Did you bolt the gun case right to the tunnel?  Have you had any issues with the case rattling too much?  I need to install one on my bearcat because we already have 6" of snow up where we hunt moose.

Gun boot bracket is mounted to the rack right now.  I haven't had it out to test it yet, so I imagine there will be some fine tuning once I get it out.

IMO, you have too much weight on that plastic milk crate.  In subzero temps and rough ice, that will likely shatter at the worst time and create a mess.

You could purchase a cheap plastic bow case as a "rod locker" and put that in your gun clamp for the rods.

I don't like it here, so I will probably be here for a while.........
