Title: hunting rigs, dog boxes, and strike boards
Post by: swwaoutdoorsman on April 04, 2012, 08:18:08 PM: Thought this might be fun. Lets see what everyone has for hunting rigs, boxes, and boards. Never know when someone has a great idea for a new dog box design or strike board. Here's mine both are simple.

With the four wheeler your right about the dogs on the front. The two previous years I only hunted with one dog, this year I've had three on there. My partner build his rack this year and mounted to the back. Mine may get a make over this summer.

Post by: plottwalker on April 11, 2012, 01:31:54 PM: i have made one ATV box, not sure what you mean by platform, but i have made about 20 alum boxes/shells,7 strike hoods, i can email pictures if interested, i wont have time to build any until the off season (around september-december)
everything is laser cut, can punch louvers, tube doors, rigging racks, dividers, shells, full box's.
made from alum, or stainless steel, powdercoating available, all stainless hardware used. no corners cut in making these boxes.

can quote/3d model boxes before cutting. i can make just about anything you can think up.

everything is fully welded, and use 1/8 or thicker materials,

not some pop riveted 1/16 thin *censored* you get from most big company box makers.
thanks Brian
