Going to pick up a 2007 Honda rancher from the in laws , gonna build a box or do something for carrying stuff in the back, I do have a set of the kolpin bar mounts for my catch pole, rifle or whatever maybe put some milk crates on for buckets.

If you have a quad or sxs setup for trapping lets see them.

Usually im in my truck but I think thia quad will be convenient for the properties I have right here by the house or for venturing into some harder to access state land areas, or other private access that I can get on after the crops are off.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have a 570 Polaris Sportsman I use. I tossed around getting a snowmobile again but ended up purchasing tracks instead for the atv. More reasonable at the time than a newer sled and they get me where I need to go even in the deep snow.

I used this setup for 9 of the 10 years I used this Quad and never found any setup I felt was better for me. Box is from TSC, perfect for me from coyote to beaver trapping and everything inbetween!

I used two 6 gallon milk crates and a 4 gallon for the back "rack" on my atv. Seems to work well enough so far.

And this year I added a wood "box" to the front for carrying critters.

I like the wood box on the front idea for fur.

I just use the Kolpin boxes front and back. 5 gallon buckets fit inside if you want to go that route. Leaves the back rack useable or can have my wife ride with me when she is along. Wish a sxs fit into my truck bed with tailgate closed. That would be better all around but I travel with the camp trailer and 4 wheeler.

Sweet! Put some good rubber on and send it.

I swap my quad and sled around every spring & fall. What sucks is my quads at the shack all summer. There’s one beaver job I usually do once a summer that’s a 3/4 mile walk in. I came close to buying an older little Honda with trailer this spring. Then I thought, it’s just one job, and only a couple beaver back there……I’ll just walk.

Mines nothing fancy, loaded with about 300’ of rope, slings, shackles, snatch blocks plus the winch rope. Comes in super handy when a buck is dead down through the bush at the bottom of a ravine, or the closest anchor point is far off.
I usually pull some sort of trailer.
