1st Hunting season without driving a Toyota

lenj33 · 11-01-2005, 06:28 PM

And I LIKE it!!!

Went out to shoot my muzzleloader and do a little scouting.

The Titan swallows my ATV nicely. Can't even tell it's back there.

I wish my shooting was as good!

Ringing prodcut endorsement:
Louisiana Guard dog atv system. GREAT product!!! Holds the ATV solidly. No more ****ing around with tie straps in the dark. No more constantly watching the ATV in the rear view to make sure it's (a) still there and (2) solidly held. I Highly recommend it.

Pics of my setup and my muzzleloader target from the range

Sweet setup man.

So that thing basically holds the 4 wheeler in the bed by grabbing ahold of the hitch? Seems like ratchet straps would work better, but I guess that keeps you from having to reach over the bed sides.

Yeah, the bar attaches to the hitch on the ATV. I was skeptical at first since I've been called king of the ratchet straps before

It's very solid. saves a bunch of time loading and unloading too.

I notice it's got another hitch, doesn't look like it could take much weight, but probably comes in handy for the light stuff.

LOL-I get called the same thing.I have a KTM dirtbike that I use about 5-6 straps on.I know its overkill,but I can't help it.....it's an illness.

Nice looking setup!! I'm still using the ratchet straps, but I plan on making somthing similar the the guard dog thingie.
Good looking target BTW, I assume it is from 50 yds.? Our M/L season opens this Sat. and I am looking forward to it.
Good luck to ya, keep yer powder dry,lol.

Yeah the "extra" hitch becomes a class 1, 2000lbs pulling and 250 tongue weight. The pics don't really do it justice, it's VERY beefy looking and sturdy.

yeah that was 50 yards... they SHOULD all be touching. I have a TC Omega and it shoots WAY better than I was shooting it yesterday. Took forever to get the new scope sighted in by the time I was actually target shooting, My shoulder was over it

Heh heh, when I saw the bed divider an utilitrack system I'm fairly certain I heard angels singing!! "The things I could cinch down in THIS bed!!!"

My rear storage compartment is packed FULL of ratchet straps

Well I bought a Titan too but no way was I going to give up my Toyota Tacoma 4x4. That sucker is geared up and ready to hunt at a moment's notice. Plus my insurance is actually $21 cheaper(anually) with liability on the Taco and full coverage on the Titan versus just full coverage on the Titan,

My first hunting season with the Titan, also. I kept my 94 Toyota 4wd pu for a beater. I 've hunted from both this year. The toyota is a good truck, but I never knew it rode so rough.

It is so-o-o-o much easier to open the rear door and throw the bow case in, the tail gate and bed lights make such a difference unloading or packing up in the dark. Strapping gear down is a cinch.

One thing, it's a long way up into the back after a long day. I spent $2 on a little aluminum ladder at a sale. Makes a big difference.
