Sville, what a brilliant idea !! Was it easy to set up ? what sort of rack do you need on the back ? who supplied the equipment ? I presume it is electric and you have a remote ? thanks, Mike

Very easy to set up. I use the attachement to the Warn winsch and some straps. The thrower is called Easy Bird. You see the battery on the footstep. Its a remote control so you can handle it by yourself. A lot of fun !!!

You´ve lost me on the warne winch attachment, I can see the winch, presumably the thrower bolts onto that and you connect to the battery, when you transport it do you put it on the back rack ? The reason I am asking this is I am thinking about investing in a big trap for down here but if I can have one that I can move anywhere easily, great, can you adjust angles etc on the thrower ? can it do rabbits ?, cheers
Mike

I have two attachement for the Warn winsch, one in the back and one in the front. I transport it as you see in photo.No rabbits. I can adjust it up and down, otherwise I must move the vehicle.

Well, we're shooting gophers, it isn't actually hunting.

Daryl, technically I wasn't hunting either...snaring actually, the rifle was just there for targets of opportunity.

This was my "Suzi" that I got rid of when my mate sold his 6.5 thousand acre property. We cruzed many a mile after foxes at night or crop raiders. When this photo was taken, the roof mounted spotlight had been removed and was suffering from the first stages of vehicle cancer.




Cheers,

Jeff Gray

My 4x4 Isuzu/Rodeo set up for spotlighting. I have the 2nd smaller light you can see attached to the drivers door. Often I need to see where I am going while the two on the back keep sweeping for game.

The rack over the cab is adjustable for height and the 2nd battery is on the front left in the tray. The engel fridge/freezer is only there during summer and the large metal box holds recovery gear, spare parts and tools. The vice is bolted to the aluminium tray and swivels 360deg. I use it to hold a chainsaw when sharpening he chain or for general repairs.





Fully loaded with rack gone and rear bar inplace.

My brother and I pictured in our early teens with our hunting vehicle (tractor and trailer) way up in the top block of the cattle farm we lived on. No fencing in this block and unlimited numbers of red deer moving from the surrounding native bush replacing those we shot, quite often up to 50 or so in the springtime each year. Our rifles are in the photo, I used a 32 Remington pump and my younger brother a single shot Winchester 22LR. He had to stalk in close, crawling on his belly in the bush clearings to make a killing shot. He was most often very successful and soon learned to shoot straight and accurate. My little 32 Rem with its 170gr flat nose bullets was just magic in my hands especially as I'm a lefty anyway.

The little tractor and trailer sure went some places especially if we bolted on a couple of wheel spades but we still had to carry those reds on our backs to get to where we could pick them up with the tractor. We were about 13 and 15 years old in the photo and used to stay overnight in the old hut to get in an evening and early morning shot. Those were the days when men were men and boys were pretty close to men too.
