mike7mm08, Yeh, Quail hunting is expensive, it's a gentleman's sport, some thing you wouldn't understand, Bless Your Heart. Rio7
I have found in the "gentlemen sports" there is a very fine line between true gentlemen and condescending asssholes with a [bleep] of money. Seems like most "gentleman" cross that line. You probably didn't see it when you drove over it with your new rig.

Rio7 - did y'all do the fabrication work yourselves on the new ones? Very clean (from the pics) and nice work. Could probably start selling those things....

Ryan Tex, We designed and built our old trucks, all steel, the new trucks we designed for our use, are much more modern and more detailed, we had them built, locally. Rio7

Very nice, better than all the walking I did for 25 years, but we hunted north and central Texas, mostly Coleman county, hillsides and such.

That’s a real nice upgrade Clearly you took good care of those chopped up suburbans... But I like your new direction...

rainierrifleco, Parts for our old trucks where very hard to find, and the frames had been rebuilt and repaired over and over,keep in mind these are off road trucks and get used very hard, in all weather conditions, these trucks are over 25-30 years old, that's a lot of off road use. it's not your dime it's ours when you start paying for our trucks you will have a say in what we build. Bless your heart. Rio7

I thought style was mule drawn wagons/carriages in Georgia. Does look like a neat project though.
How are your bird numbers doing?

1 minute, We do Quail hunting a little different than the Georgia guys, we use gun trucks that carry 3 hunters, 10 dogs a dog handler, driver/helper, we also use 2 out riders on horses with each truck, our Quail # are high this year our hunters are averaging 62 birds per day or about 20 birds per truck per day, a lot depends on how well out hunters can shoot, and walk, we are hunting all wild birds, no pen raised birds, most Georgia Quail are pen raised birds, it takes the Georgia, guys a couple of days to catch up with our wild bird as they much faster than pen raised. Here's some pic's i took yesterday. Rio7 Out riders changing dogs End of a long day.

That's a feat in today's world! What are your secrets for keeping the populations up? Everywhere I've seen they have crashed.
