Thanks. That is exactly what I am using it for. Note the ATV blind in the back. Completely covers the ATV and allows you to sit normally and be hidden by camo.
Been a lot of fun so far.

Man, that is pretty wild, it must have taken hours to do that camo paint job. Do you hunt while sitting on the trike? Can't the animals smell the gas and oil? Do you have to register your trike for hunting. I think you did a great job with it. I hope your buddys don't tease you about one of your wheels falling off.

First of all, thanks for the compliment. Actually took me and my son about six months, (one bite at a time because of the heat/work). Frame, etc. was paint and all the plastic was done with a product called Camoclad. Indeed, it was many hours of work and very tedious. In the end though, it was well worth it. The only kidding I have received have been from guys urging me to put a homing device on the trike so I could find it in the woods. Been a lot of fun making jokes about it.
As for the animals smelling the gas and oil, they are so used to smelling that sort of thing that it doesn't seem to bother them too much. I have parked the trike and come back from hunting to find fresh tracks around it. The only thing you have to worry about is masking your scent and I use Scent Lok suits and cover scent.
And yes, you can sit on your trike using the ATV blind that I added, (jpg. attached).

Yes, but isn't it illegal to hunt from a vehicle. Nice job btw.

It's not illegal to hunt from it,as long as he isn't moving.We sometimes hunt rainy days sitting in our trucks(parked) watching fields or woodlines.

Hmm,, it is unlawful to hunt or have a loaded weapon in a motorized vehicle here in Pa. Unless you have a special handicapp permit. I will have to double check on this though it has me wondering.

yeah here in Pa you cant hunt from a motorized vehicle or be around one when you shoot, but what thrill is that?
I had that same gun holder for my SX. It was annoying though due to the zipper inside and the case on the outside. I just eventually left it unzipped and left the top cover for the case at home. Worked much better.

ScottZJ has a nice gun rack for sale on ebay for a Big Red. Sweet if you are a hunter.

Thanks, but when I said almost completely, I did not mention that a rack was one of the things that I still have to put on. BTW, have since replaced gun boot w/camo version, (imagine that). Will also replace directional front tire w/turfbuster tomorrow and am making a mounting plate for winch to be added to hitch. It is a portable type so that I can use it independently fro the trike. Wiring is gonna be tricky but do-able.

can we see some close up pics... the pics you posted are small and far away. The reason i ask is I would like to do my quad fenders with that stuff. Is it durable? How does it hold up?
