Where do you live and when is a good time to come up and try the mule??  I live in Beeville and can travel, I like to see the mule in a pen, see u catch him, tie some dogs to him and see you shoot a 22 short around him before we pass the cabbage.  Could you send a picture to whoteranch04@yahoo.com or to my phone 361 354 0572, you dont have a trailer coming down this way on have a ride for him to 78102. we are 60 miles from Victoria on US 59 and Us 77 deoending on where u coming from.

Sold pending trial tormorrow, thanks for the quick reply and all of the pics etc.  Have a safe trip and call me if you get lost or have probs with the haul, we are 6 miles south of Beeville right off of US 181 on LOshe road, we going to get  a pen up and water asap here at the house, its pretty wet here at the yard.  361 354 0572 if anything balls up coming down.  Thanks again, I can ride but not walk so this is great it if works out.. I used to have 5 down here and always had 2 that would load on a 1 ton 4x4 flabed with arack we had built up to get the mules up to the cab side and the dogs in the back as we reovered them or loaded them last, has anybody got any picturees of truck bed mounted mule rack on here, the darn hurricane got our roof and abotu 30 years of pictures i had collected, i not seen anybody hauling them on a truck in a long time, we can use a trailer down here due to 100 inches of raine soemtimes and 20 foot dirt base roads, its too hard to turn aroudn with anythign but  truck with dogs and the rides on the bed where i am at usually all winter as wetlands.

I would like to see some of those old pics with a mule in the back of a 1 ton truck.  There used to be a man that lived near my grandparents that had a little dodge dakota and a real small hunting mule.  He would jump that mule in the bed of that dakota and tie him to the head ache rack, have dogs tied all around him and most of the time straddling a hog or two.  I wish I would have been old enough at the time to stop and talk to the man, he was a old fella when I was prolly 8-10.

I am going to call Maz Harsha out in new mexico or az whereever he is, he used to build a rack for a toytoa truck that was really designed right, it would fold down when not in use and one could haul just dogs or hogs or sheep, it folded down from the side to side and locked and thefront where the headache was also folded back and locked, it was so kewl as if we were in mexico or a ranch that had a lot of low trees in a pinch we could unload the mules and let them out an lower the mule rack and pass under and then reload.  It was galvinized round tube and had a sliding gate on rollers at the back i added to let dogs out one by one as needed or it we struck a cat or hog hot track it was also on hinges so just open th whole gate and let all dogs out and step up and untie the mules, lots of times if we had the regular dog and the rubber mule mat and just  one mule i never tied the mule and we never had a dog fighting him or any kind of mule steped on dog foot, they get used to it pretty quick.  Amos Welder Sales down here can duplicate it again i am thinking if i can find the picture Max sent beofre i bought the first one from somebody out there, he might sell the plans but he took down the pictures he up on MaxHarshae.com or Max the mule man something, if i get it i will share it on here somehow, it was really a big change to us in hunting the gulf coast and helped train dogs faster as well and more hogs, plus we got home quicker and lots of people really loved seeing the dogs with the mules and asking questions.  But having mules causes lots of jealously in huting pardeners as well as if one is one a mule and some are walking it not good for the walkers due to them always late to the hog bay up and gettting pissed off and not wanting to go if no mule for them to ride. its always something but i am going to get 2 or so wifey and i can ride and my hired hand, thats why i am going to set up the W500 4x4 powerwagon with a mule rack if i can con Harsha to send me those old pictures and designs, I offered him $50 for the plans or the pictures so we will see if it comes up those old pics, i have a general idea but i dont remeberexactly how big od the tubing was and the spring loaded latches were those from Duffy Manafacturing from Beeville and I added the wolfe hunting cuting dump/gate on the back, bad thing is i sold it to a quail dog jockey who was on a ranch i used to rollerchop on and it is out of texas and i cant even remmember the guys name, mules are used by a lot of trainers for quail out of state especially if they are hunting 30 o4 40 dogs for others in those furitrtys they run all over.  Never saw the dakota guy, but there was a guy named Gary Flowers down at a Machine shop in alice who had mules and was building one or something when i quit, lost track of him, hope max will turn loose the pics so can get one built again and post up for everybody in case somebody is interested, I sure miss it especially now with this mule coming down today for a trail all i have is a 24 trailer nowdayslol  And it is at wifes ranch in Floridalol  figures

Well Leon just left and the mule was way better than described, thanks so much for bringing  him down from Waco and showing him, I am very very pleased, dont forget to bring your pard after deer hunter are out of my ranch so we can make a round with your dogs and see what kind of land we have and the lazy dumb deaf and blind tame hogs that my terriers cant stop any morelol  And thanks to this site and all  who help keep it going.  I need one more mule for my wife becuse he is stirred up with the mule now and I must make amendslol  I bet I will long and far to find one and a person like Leon who word is straight and true who sold him to me.  The trial was great and he did as asked right off a trailer at a strange place, i am so happy, now i will get on the mule rack for the old 2 ton flatbed 4x4 powerwagon!!
