I have used two styles. I had a buddy make one just like the "hawkeye bilt" carts and used a converted child's carts the first go round. The hawkeye bilt styled one worked the best but it is just not for me.

Check them out http://www.hawkeyebilt.com/  If you know anyone that welds,you can save about $500 having one made.

I will second the Hawkeyebilt trailer as well.  I would recommend that he adds disk brakes on the trailer when you have it built.  Then have a rachet type break lever on your front tube so that you can put a constant pressure on the brakes while going down a long hill.  Take that as a lesson learned from someone who should have known better.

If you are talking about the trailer its www.haweyebilt.com. Be ready to throw down some $$$. If you are talking about the bike, I got it at cycle therapy in Kent or www.cycletherapybikeshop.com

You say you didn't like full suspension bikes for hunting?  I haven't taken a bike hunting yet, but looking to for more access. Last time I road one without rear suspension it about beat me to death over all the damn rocks. Just curious how much of a difference you thought it was since I'm in the market for a new hunting bike.

The difference is when you pedal up hill with a rear shock, the suspension soaks up your pedal as well as the bumps.  I noticed that with the hardtail I was able to get more of a "power pedal" which makes uphill climbs easier. I am also looking into pedal baskets so I can get a solid  down push and up pull instead of just a down push. Hope that makes scents. The second thing I noticed is the disk breaks. They work very well going down long mountain grades. The breaks work just as good wet as they do dry.Although when wet,the discs do get a little louder. I would suggest thees two features if you are looking into a new hunting bike.

Another  thing to look into is a lockout on the rear shock or one with Pro Pedal that way you can have the best of both worlds
