Just made something in my spare time for the upcoming deer season. I hunt with dogs during the normal firearms season. I ride a four wheeler a good percentage of the time. Delima has always been I couldn't take my dogs that way or help recover others. I made this trailer to go behind the four wheeler. I wanted to get input in from the hunters out there. Would anyone be interested in buying one to go behind theirs if they could? Have had a few guys tell me I need to build them but not sure. Suspension actually works and dogs ride like their in a Cadillac. Send me your thoughts. I also would like to know what some of you would be willing to pay for something like it. It's made of 16ga material so if you turn it over it should stay together.

Looks nice and well built. Maybe some taller tires to get a little more ground clearance and it would be close to perfect.

I went with the smaller wider tires to try and make it ride smoother and spread load. Know a couple guys that have homemade ones and the trailers bounce the dogs off the top the box because the tires are so hard and suspension so tight.

what would be the price on one like that but without the lighting kit on it? And how many beagles will it hold?

I thought about making pull behind dog trailer for the ATV back when I hunted with a hunt club. Yours looks good.

People WILL buy it....if the price is right.

OK so here is the issue I see with this , it has ATV tires on it so no good to pull behind truck and who wants to pull a trailer long enough to fit ATV and trailer .... (most people do have to travel to hunt). If you had street tires on this its sellability would much increase. ATV in bed trailer behind truck then once to hunting grounds swap off

I had thought about that and it's definitely an idea. Only thing with that is you would have to tag it to put it on the road was my only concern with it.

looks good the only concern i have is the weight if you hunt flat country that may not be an issue but in hilly country it might unless you have a bigger atv

It is really not that heavy. Can turn it over by myself. Going to make one for local dealer and see how it goes over. Thanks to the few for the great input.

Is that a locker on top?
If not id want one.
And id put a 4-6 rail around it so I cans strap down the deer weed
Be shooting!!!!!!

I would not want it any wide then my atv so it would fit down any trail id probably recess the tires in to the side in steed of putting
Under to keep center of gravity low.

But that's a lot more work witch means more $$$$

It looks good though

There is a storage box on the top to be able to keep a few essentials with ya. Had the available real estate might as well use it. It is a work in progress. I am have made another version that has the box split with two gates to be able to seperate dogs. I was give this frame and just had to make it. The design can be modified to meet whatever the customer may prefer. Cost will kind of go up and down dependent upon what someone wants. That for the compliment.
