That’s funny chit right there Steve !
I agree I don’t like loose dogs in the cab of the truck. Only during 1st dove season, and never on the opener. In the IV the dog rides home in the backseat. One of the reasons I hunted the Bakersfield valley for so long for dove. I could go to the Sea and I might be 105 in the dark mornin or Bakersfield where it might be 68 at shoot time.
I currently have the cheaper 2 piece style crate But I think as the new pup gets bigger that is going to become the house crate. I got some Cabela/BPS Xmas cards burning a hole in my pocket !!!
