Yep, that's my 7 year old cousin. He insisted that he was the one to track and learned to start looking around when the blood gets sparse  :)

What is that your driving?

It's a modified yamaha rhino. The cage has been removed and rack you see in front of the steering wheel attaches where it was. It has two pouches on the side and can cold two bows or rifles between them. Made out of angle iron and some round stock. Also has a removable jeep seat for the back. The only drawback is the fully locked rear axle on pavement.

Here are a few more pictures...

I hunted Yorktown, Tx. for 20 years just me and my buddy. Looks alot like your pics. One of my first longbow kills (javelina) was here. Turkeys everywhere and good size deer in the thick stuff. Snakes too. Wish I was there. Nice job hog stalking.
