G'day cleanskin,
I'm a mad hunter and have a dogbox and accredited field harvesting rack on my truck. The dogbox was easy to make if you're a bit handy with a welder. Just make your basic frame to the size you prefer giving your hounds a bit of headroom so they don't brain themselves jumping in, make the door frames welding them onto some butt hinges with 6" barrel bolts for closing, so you can lock them in, then cover the lot in with gal 2" mesh. Have a look on boardogs.com if you are keen to see some of the other types around. It all depends on what you want and how much you are prepared to spend. There are some very flash stainless or Aluminium ones around but they cost the dinero as well! Where are you at and what type of hunting are you into??

Good luck with it................Pete!


This is a pic of my box. The rack just bolts to it!
