Well it aint totally done yet and its not stained but I think we'll get a good bit of use from it this year. Alittle bigger than I wanted but my male GSP is 82 pounds of muscle and he can't fit in my DeZee Box. So here are some pics. What do you guys think?

Hey Russ, hows it going? You called me (wvufan) last month about the dinner and booking a trip. Sorry i didn't get back to you.

I lost your number. Give me a call at 856-305-2063. My buddies want to come up for some grouse hunting. Excited about not having to drive 10 hrs to NH.

Thanks,

dave

Careful Dave,
I'm not allowed to mention the best damn Upland Guide Service this side of the Mississippi! that specializes in Hunting the Prince of the woodlands, the Ruffed Grouse.:D Not a problem. I auctioned off 2 hunts for Hunt of a Lifetime. Made them 415 bucks a shot. Shannon and I were very proud. Hope you guys are up for the hike and have been doing your cardio. Talk to ya.

Will do Bubba,
Hey you interested in a good DeZee Gold Series Dog box. Double occ. I see you're a friend of Dave's (Massbaster). I'd give you a real good price. Its a 550.00 box. Never used, Pointers are too big. Would be a condo for ur beagle(s). Can't have just one for the bunnies.

Just finished the dog box. Bottom and roof used from Mopani wood, from South Africa. Not because I wanted an exotic wood, just that's what my trophies from Africa were sent in and I save everything. It came out good. Grain is crazy cool. Pics to follow, after staining. Stay tuned.

Russ,

Dave is my main hunting buddy, I dont think I've ever been out hunting without him since we met. Thank you for the offer of the box, my pup is far from ready for any hunting, once he is ready I'll be looking for sure.:thup:

Bubba,
I'm hangin on to as of yet. Not giving it away. IT cost me a pretty penny for no use! Anyway in this new one, I can put all the dogs in it. I think its great. Pics to come, I just finished the stain. Will water proof it tomorrow.

Got it water proofed. Putting another bracket for the bird pen. The stain came out good. I'll put some pics up when I get home from Services.

Sorry it took so long to the pics up, but here it is. Put in a bracket for the coolerbox, 5 gallon water jug and then the end all to be all, A real live can crusher! Of course that's for soda cans:)

Bumped to the top. Massbaster (Dave) and Bubba, what do ya think? We have been given the box a ton of use and it keeps the pups warm and dry. Heck the one day it was in the 30's and when the pups came out after a short drive, they were steaming from being in the box. Suprising what a 1/4 bail of hay will do!
