RTV900 Hunting Rig

[ajdillon]

Brian suggested that I repost some of my pictures of my RTV900 hunting rig from the old forum, so here goes:
A picture of the rig, my adjustable shooting rail (adjusts for both angle and extension), a remote operated feeder and my wireless remote control Go-Lite mounted between two work lights on the roof (Hogs at night!)

Thanks Andrew!!!!

I'm very familiar with your setup but tell us more about the feeder in particular. Do you spread and move on or spread and stay near or ???

Nothing better than the go-light. That deserves a thread of it's own. I'll start one and you pile on.

The feeder came with a set of brackets that are adapted to be hung on a tailgate. I got a welder to extend the brackets a couple of inches on each side so the feeder would hang just on either side of the front bumper center portion. I bought 12 inches of clear plastic 2 inch hose that I cut in a spiral that wraps around the bumper to keep the paint nice. It rattled some so I also bought a thick rubber pad from a company that sells them to parking garages for tight corners. I bolted that to the plate that has the "RTV" on it and now the feeder rides nice and tight and quiet. I have a toggle switch on the dash to operate it. The rest was just stick on camo cover. Mostly we cruise roads and senderos ( cut lines for you northerners) and drop corn. We then sit in a blind, or up in the back bench, or we come back later and usually find hogs, javelinas and sometimes deer.
