Gun boot mounts & box storage to the bed.

[Dayooper]

Hi guys - I'll have the answer in a few days but wanted to check back in and see if anyone has done this in the interim since the last thread.

Gun boot mounts & box storage to the bed.

I hunt & trap all over and it ranges from dry and dust everywhere to one mega huge bog. Most of the overhead and floor based gun racks will not suffice. I've tried the large bag over the back but it winds up lasting about 2 storms worth. I'm presently using a floating shotgun case and laying it on the seat with the muzzle into the storage compartment under the shifter. You should see the bolts on some of my guns from a few trips without it - crazy.

Just checking in if anyone's used the kolpin gun boot or strong hold system. Pictures and successes/failures appreciated. Looks like I'll be going the kolpin stronghold route and fixing it to the roll bars. Little concerned about where I'm gonna put the axe and how those angled bars will do but give it a shot. Looking at the added box for the bed mount but need to verify on the machine first and she's about 300 miles away at present. Not sure how that double wall tilting bed would do with bolts thru the sides. If anyone's attached something to it, would appreciate insight.

For as much storage as the machine has - still looking for more! Here's a bed pic from Saturday night. 1,429 miles on her.

Cant help with the gun mount but I do have a cargo box in the bed.  Bought box at Wallyworld for 40 bucks and it does seal up pretty good. I added a couple of simple S hooks at each of 4 corners and use a simple strap on each end hooked to the loops inside the bed. I have a shovel, axe, rain gear, tools, extra oil and coolant, tow cables, all at about 45 lbs. Box has never come loose even during a rollover. Nothing has ever gotten wet, box has molded loops for a lock if needed.

I'd like to find something that will hold mt Raging Judge (with scope) 6½" barrel

be nice if I could mount it somewhere near the shifter

Cool photo. Love to see these machine work! I had the first deer in mine a couple Saturdays ago and never even thought to snap a picture to share with you all. Let us know how you make out with your project!

I mounted a Kolphin 6.0 Dun mount to the roll bars by the head rest.  I can take pics and show you.  Works great.

Legal to shoot Doe's??

in some places, yes, and usually archery, does are allowed, all depends on population, and deer herd management
