What\'s in the truck?

I don't even know. Spare parts, tools, half finished projects, stuff that fell off on the trail, other people's junk, old food and plenty of dog hair and stick. Thank god I don't have a van. Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to hear what you guys like to carry, what you have to carry, and what you wish you didn't carry. I'll tell all about it when I clean it out in a couple days. I'll photograph anything... unusual.

Re: What\'s in the truck?

Looks like a good day's job for a statistician with all these responses!
Image

The amount of Bronco owners that chew tobacco, drink beer, use firearms daily,
and now it appears, have a stash of "borrowed" milk crates, has got to be a staggering percentage.
Image

On second thought. Maybe not.
Advertisers could have a hey day with those stats.
Get too much junk mail and spam as it is!

Re: OT: Doogy Site

Hey thanks riff-raff.
I'll let Auggie know.
He'd be a shoe-in for the long-jump. Had a competion on TV a year or so ago.
Image

Outdoor Channel I think.
Dogs leapin' off a platform into a pool.
I swear he gets out about 20' off our local swimmin' hole dock before he hits the water.

Re: What\'s in the truck?

That's not off topic, the dog fills in as copilot on the trail while my wife is pregnant. Your guess is as good as mine, Juice. In fact, its the same as mine. You shouldn't spoil your dog. One must be very firm with an animal. This morning for instance I was forced to push mine back to her portion of the bed. Harsh, I know, but its for the beast's own good...
Edit- WD40 WOW! Up in the sky... Auggie!

Re: What\'s in the truck?

Yeah, I did get firm on the bed thing. Hunter got into the habit of getting up right when I do early in the morning, and the second I got out of bed, he would climb up there, plunk down next to the wife, and make himself comfortable, INCLUDING using my pillow!

WD-40 I like the form of the doogie too, but is he competing in the high dive, or belly flop? Most dogs I have ever seen got that belly flop thing going.

WD40,

Jest a hill folk scootin around town.....the .22 is obligatory for all the snakes I deal with when out with the dogs, the 357 is for when I have to go down to the inner city operations center for the job. Is that your bird fetcher in your pics? I can see why you dont need a shotgun with the reach that dog has.

Re: What\'s in the truck?

Tom, no banks, I keep a shotgun for dog training or afternoon skeet shooting if I get the day off unexpectantly...the two little guns I'm licensed for and carry one for work sometimes, the other when out scouting or working the dogs. Its so much easier to just leave the rig fairly packed for what I use it for.

Man, this post is getting huge!

Amazing how you far you can go off on a tangent.
Course, the original title was "What's in the Truck?".
And it appears, there's a lot of canines hitching rides in Broncos.

Auggie would be the grouse fetcher all right!
Our new little chocolate dog however, seems to be more adapted to chasing pheasants.
Can't keep her out of the grassy fields around here.
She's got the nose to die for!

Re: OT: Doogy Site

Has or did anyone ever see Ted Nugents 50,000 dollar Bronco way back in Fourwheeler magazine. The new fourwheeler is the anniversary edition and in it they have allot of the older covers and one was Ted Nugent standing in front of his big ol camo bronco and it said at the heading, 50,000 dollar Bronco. Wonder what he had???? Sure looked good though.

Re: OT: Doogy Site

WD40,

Off on another tanget...do you do any HRC or field trialing in MT with your fetchers? I trialed a few times with a guy from Bozeman...Mark Taverniti, he runs a micro brewery up there with one of his lines called Black Dog Ale.

In reply to:

one of his lines called Black Dog Ale.
Click to expand...
That's Auggie's favorite!
He's an obnoxious drunk though.

Did a couple field trials in the WA area.
After the move out here though, I really haven't been that involved.
I took a training class (read...training me, the dog was fine) under Bob Gribble.
Learned quite a bit, and took it myself from there.
Auggie is the penultimate marker.

Our little chocolate doesn't mark for beans.
But like I mentioned earlier, she does have the "kill" nose.
