We have been running old 1980s Chevy's, we cut up and put dog box's on for the last 20 years, they are used up and we can't find parts to repair them any more, built 3 new trucks all the same, Ford f-250s,blue one, green one, and a dark blue one, we are ready to Quail hunt in style this year. Old trucks, and new truck we have only used the new trucks on 1 weekend hunt so far but they are working great. Rio7

Needs a piece of carpet on the hood for your lead quail dog!

Very cool!! A hunt like that, but with my own dog, is a bucket list item for me.

And now fasten seatbelts before you watch the hunting truck German/Westphalian style: The first trailer behind the tractor is carrying the quary, in this case European hare.

Kaywoodie, That old Yellow Chevy, better known as the Mexican Hummer, served me well, for 21 years. but it gave up, frame broke in half behind the drivers seat, it was time for a new Quail truck.
ttpoz, Glad you approve. Thanks

I wasn't there. Unfortunately. This pic is from a farmers magazine but where I use to hunt they use similar wagons with the quary hanging outside the wagon. Twenty years ago there were hunting areas with more than a hundred creatures (pheasant, ducks, European hare). The small rabbits are mostly gone due to myxomatosis and even more worse, RHD. Now and then during such a driven hunt roe deer was bagged unintentally but not with lead but with one of the dogs like German wire hair or short hair.

Incredible. Had no idea quail hunting was that popular of an endeavor to necessitate something like that. That Ford looks sharp.

Sweet rig. But I gotta think those little birds are laughing their asses off at all the money spent to to kill them. Like to see what the cost per pound a quail breaks down to when factoring in the gear. Gotta be one of the most expensive critters to put on the table by hunting.
