That is quite an accomplishment for you two. I am glad to see that you took it upon yourselves to make the investment. I will also be in the market for a nice trailer in the next couple months as well. I look forward to seeing the rest of your photos.

Thanks,

Nick

Nice looking trailer. A couple of Avery and Greenhead Gear stickers will really let people know that that is a hunting trailer. Post some pictures when you get the shelves finished.

That is great to hear. I respect you both for doing it without help from the parents. It makes it that much more rewarding. If you need some decals, give me a shout, I'd be happy to supply a couple!

Isn't it great. I just bought a 7 x 16 without help from my parents also. Second biggest purchase i've made without my parents next to my truck. It's much more satisfying knowing you bought it yourself and you tend to keep better care of things is what i've found out. Looking forward to see what your shelving looks like. We hung bars horizontally in ours to hang fullbodies on.

NDboy,

Congratulations on the trailer acquisition.

I would look to increase the space between the tires and the fenders. You know how bad the mud can get in our neck of the woods. I think it will save you some headaches on down the dirt road.

Thanks,

I bought a 14 footer last summer and It was the first big purchase of my life and it sure is nice to say that you paid for something that nice by your self, especially when i was only 16. It sure makes setup and takedown about 20 times faster too.

Where can I get some Avery sticker for my trailer at can't seem to find them anywhere unless I have a credit card to order online. pm me if you know of a place in Fargo where I can get them

Congrats to the two of you on your new investment. You will love having a trailer that stores and hauls all of your gear.

Not saying anything that hasn't been said but congrats. You'll find it a ton easier and quicker to get setup and take down now. Make sure to share the pics when you complete it.

Great looking trailer. Congrats on doing it yourself too. Hey, if you ever need someone to watch the inside of your truck while your hunting... Rick's your man!

How do the decoys stay on the shelves when you're driving?

Dustin Andersen
04-28-2006, 09:15 PM
I was wondering that also how are the decoys secured to the shelves?

Do you have your drawing on the CAD system where you could post them on here. I love the way you set them up and would like to use the same idea.

Dustin, brings up a good point. The shelves look great, but what keeps them from falling off while in transit.

Thanks,

Eric

I can try and get the CADD drawings on but i not totally sure on how to get those on but we are just going to drill holes in the shelves and run a bungee across the feet.
