Dog towing decoy cart
« on: November 04, 2012, 05:37:24 PM »
I've been thinking about getting a cart my lab can pull (he's a big boy @ 85#). Not hauling much more than 2 dozen duck decoys and a layout blind.



I've trained him to tow other smaller carts with the kids, and he tows sleds like a champ. Figure I might as well get some return on the dog food investment. :)

Has anyone done this before? Any tips? (Heaven help me if we come across a running rooster :yike:)

Cheers!

Did you make the cart or purchase it?  Is is for a livestock animal?  I haven't used a cart, but I have vest with side mounted bags on it.  The dog can carry the birds back to the truck.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I have to keep him on a lead to the hunting area so I tie the lead to the game cart that I haul the decoys on.  He pulls I steer.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska
