Kolpin products can turn your ATV into the ultimate hunting machineBecause it is so versatile, most hunters use their ATV as a pack mule. They strap things to the racks, such as a gun case, bow holder, coolers, tree stand and storage bags to name but a few things. These necessities take up a lot of room. In the past, ATVer’s have used primitive methods like garbage bags to transport extra clothes or a paper bag to hold a thermos and lunch causing the hunter’s ATV to look like a chuck wagon on a cross-country trek. It did not take long to realize there had to be a better way to transport your valuables without the worry of damage. Wouldn’t it be great to use every inch of rack space and parade around in camouflage style? Your quad would be the talk of hunting camp and your cronies could only wish to have such an efficient package on their ATV. Just think, a top-notch gun boot, camo seat cover, and extra-large front and rear camouflage cargo bags. The advantages of keeping your gun in a well-protected gun boot could mean the difference between a wall hanger or just a tall tale. Envision having a place to keep your decoys and still having room for an extra jacket, rain gear and a lunch. The possibilities are limitless; thanks to Kolpin, a manufacturer of after market ATV accessories. Gun Boot IV and Bracket The most widely traveled and universally used hard gun case in the world.
