For those of you that are hunting with Rangers, Rhinos, or other similar UTVs, would you please post some pics of your setups. I am interested in possibly going this route, and I want to see options. Also, if you have any advise as to what you would do differently, that would help.
Thank you in advance,
Josh

Only thing I would have done different is AC and bucket seats.  |

I don't have any pics, but I hunt from a polaris ranger 500 4x4 it has made hunting great. The ranger is about as tough of a rig as I have ever seen! The room, comfort, and the 4x4 all wheel drive is great. I've added a back seat and a front rack to mine. You can also tow a trailer if you want.

I don't know that the Mule is in the same class as a Ranger or Rhino, as they seem to be more sporty/ high performance and the Mule is slow and rough, but here is the setup I have. 2009 Mule 4010 gas Trans 4x4. 26" Mudlite XTR, 12" SS wheels, 2" lift kit, Warn 3500# winch, metal roof with spray in bedliner.  First mod was some tunes.  In order to set it up for my hunting style, I made a few accessories. First is a couple of high seats in the rear, and 5 sets of snaps for the dogs. The seats are on swivels, so the rider can face any direction.  The other accessory for the dogs is the front rack.    |

I think they call Mules, Kubotas, Gators, ect UTVs because they favor the utility side and are gov at 25mph. The Rhinos, Rangers, Terxy, RZRs usually go under RUVS because they favor more recreational riding and go over 25mph. IF that matters to any one...  |

I hunt with a guy some that has a crew ranger. He is an azz but it is easy hunting , so I tolerate him. Beats a 4 wheeler hands down anytime. It is nice to be able to carry all the dogs,gear,cut box and cooler in one thing.

You have to unscrew two bolts on each side and slide it off. Doesnt take but a second. The frame is bolted to the cage. |

i found a 08 Ranger XP used with only 604 miles for dirt cheap. it's camo and got a winch and xtreme brushguard and metal roof already. i asked cause i like the way yours is set up. this one isn't a crew but i think i'm gonna try and get a front rack rigged up like that.

We use one as a recovery mobile for getting hogs we stick in spots off the road and it's a godsend for those times, esp. in the brush and wetland areas we got down here. Usually the only thing in it besides dead pigs is a 120qt. ice chest that doubles as a high seat/beverage storage  |
