Small cart for walking about hunting

[K9TXS]

This past June, I spent more time walking around shooting PD than I have in the past. I start off by using my shooting bench and later switch over to my tripod. I use the tripod because it much easier to relocate.

My tripod has a shoulder strap and only weighs 5 lbs so it's easy to carry. I put a few odds and ends in my back pack and take off. I've been very successful on my walks and will do more in the future.

I'm considering a small cart that I can pull behind me as I walk around, such as a garden cart. The only person I know that uses one on a regular basis is a poster on this forum by the name of SilverFox. He has many good stories of his PD exploits posted here and on the Saubier forum.

Anyone else using a cart of some type? If you are, please post a photo and tell us about using it.

Will work but not on huge tracts of land, that's why i have an ATV, walking 1000 acre plots is a time waster and non - productive. however that is a clever set up you have for smaller areas.

Somewhere out in my 2.5 car garage I have an old golf cart rigged to drag 3 rifles/shooting tripod & a small stool around my GH hunting farms. I think I have used it twice. mikeinct

I used a cart like this to hike miles out to my duck hunting spot.

Cart, naaaa. You need a quad

 

[K9TXS]

Yeah a quad or side by side would be great. I don't feel like trailering it 4,000 miles round trip. I get good gas mileage in my truck, but towing something that far it would really drop. With gas prices today it wouldn't be worth it.

Funny to see this. I just got home from picking up a used BOB jogging stroller. I've seen some videos of a guy who converted one for guns. A few guys I shot the Niteforce ELR match were using a Creedmoor cart. Very nice, but not for $500. I toted my 28lb gun, tripod and pack all weekend, didn't dig it too much.

Large wheels roll easier. I would suggest a tire with no air, cactus will ruin your day sooner or later.

Leroy turns in a good report and I enjoy each and every one.

I vote for a bigger rifle over a spot and stalk. I shoot the edges at different access points to where the dogs are.

Several years ago, I encountered a ground hog hunter that was transporting his gear in a manual old style two-wheel golf cart that he modified to securely hold his rifle and gear.

He was shooting custom rifle that he built, an 8mm Rem Magnum neck down to 6MM with a 30" very heavy contour barrel with a bipod attached. In addition, he had a shooting mat, spotting scope and other gear. He was a long-range specialist and gun smith.

I tagged along totally intrigued and while I can't remember the details, I witnessed him shoot ground hogs well in excess of 500 yards.

I can't find the pic of my loaded golf cart. It Hauled my old faithful Win. 22-250 Stealth model, My Sako custom Tac 20 & A well-worn Savage Bolt Gun rebarreled to 243 Win. All have & had top quality scopes. My binos/laser range finder. nice folding shooters seat, tri pod. water & snacks. I was formidable only 15 years ago. 22-250 say 300 M, the Tac 20 set for about 425M. The 243W sighted at 500M ... A Blasting we would go.
