Anyone have a Sportsman Huntin Rig

Gonna set up my sportsman to hunt. I would like to make a treestand holder, a bow holder and maybe a piece of luggage on the back rack.
Anyone have something like this, I would love to see some pictures to get some ideas.

Not too many racks

Seeing as though hunters(me) use their rigs for more than hunting, like around the house property, trail riding I don't spend the money for specific hunting racks. I have a Polaris front rack extender, with Koplin gun holder, with removable grips(see picture). I have moved the grips closer together since the picture was taken. On the back I have a MadDog bag(see picture) that has wall supports which can be removed and the bag smashed down. This comes in handy to bunggie strap my climber with backpack and crossbow to the back rack. Of course there is the wench for dragging deer, logs, cut trees and lawn carts. The deer bunggies on the front rack.

I do the same just strap a climber stand and back pack on the back rack and and my gun slung across my chest unloaded of course, while driving. keeps it within easy reach for those (sneaky deer lol), bullets are in right side pocket and the deer get strapped to the front rack and sometimes back rack as well.

Same here.....to many attachments is counter productive....All my gear for hunting is minimal and as simple as it gets...

I hunt private land for deer and moose...And usually when I hunt off the family property it is a friends land with tree stands already up..so i dont have to worry about that..atv logic cargo back on the rear rack....and i have grip holders for the front...but I dont use them often for my weapon..they work good for a shovel....I like to carry my weapon across my back with a sling....crossbow/rifle...

I was thinking about making an aluminum frame coming out of the receiver to hold a treestand and incorporate a bow holder onto that. I want to make something that is easily removable and yet allow me to keep my rack space for my rack pack and deer.
Just something for my southern ohio hunts down in the hills.

well I can tell you from personal experience a sportsman will haul 2 tree stands, 2 packs, 2 people and 3 deer with some thinking out of the woods in 1 trip. Been there done that, I love having supplies and all that but the less the better in my mind, there is enough to worry about on hunting days, and in some of the places we go it is really tight and wet, less weight the better, never know what the hunt will bring that day.

So. Ohio

Where abouts in southern Ohio do you hunt? We have about 500a. 20 miles east of Barnesville off rt800. The hills really come into play when the shot deer decide to head that way and make it tough to recover. Thank god for winches and rope.
