If this doesn't look like it was born to hunt pigs I don't know what does.

Larry, how's this look for working those islands and river banks down your way?

Matt

That thing looks unstopable!!

Ive always wanted to have one of these.

Those are cool too!! But I'd settle for one of these and have used one on numerous occasions........

For an all purpose go anywhere vehicle checkout a UniMog.A S Calif repair shop owner located a used unimog in N. California that had been used by a local fire dept but only had a bit over 20,000 miles on the odometer so he bought it & planned to install a mercedes diesel for more power & speed.He uses it to go 4x4ing in the San Bernardino mtns and desert with a meter of clearance not much impedes it.Do a google search on unimog

Whitworth,

How about a word or two about that Green Beast. It looks well engineered and purpose built.

Matt

Matt, that is pretty much the typical Florida swamp buggy. It's built on a Chevy Suburban chasis. We obviously use them to get to and from stands, but they are great for cruising around in the late morning when you run into stragglers that haven't bedded down yet for the day. They will pretty much go anywhere you point them!

Wow!

Do people just build the beasts in the back yard, or are there shops that turn them out? I really like that one in your pics.

Matt

There are shops that build them. I don't know if they are pre-built or you commission them, but I will find out.

Whitworth,

you have a PM

Matt

Excellent!! Thanks for the links, Matt!

here's mine and it's for sale!

I like it, Mike! That is essentially what I want to build. Where are you located? NICE!

Huntsville, Texas

Gee Whitworth,

I sure wish you had NEVER posted that Florida Swamp Buggy picture. Your post plus Google adds up to massive amounts of Internet time instead of getting ready for hunting this fall. Here's a 'sensible' link for your building project. Heads you in a direction similar to Mike's truck.

Matt, why are you encouraging this? My wife will be VERY unhappy with me! I need more distractions! Hey, I'm trying to get ready for the season as well!

This is my buddy's truck for your viewing pleasure!
