Wow, that is a really big wolf. About the only thing I see in this area is coyotes and they are about 1/3 the size of that wolf. Looks like you are going to have enough meat to last through the rest of this year. Enjoy!

Looks like that conquest is serving you well. I always thought the 6x6 with the water cooled Kawasaki engine was one of the best machines that Argo ever made. It seems that they would have carried that engine over to the 6x6 frontier but I guess is was all about expense and not what was best suited for the machine.

Beagle man, thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like your loaded down pretty good.
I did not know they made a 6 wheel conquest, you might like the extra set of wheels and carrying room with an eight by

I wasn't looking for a 6x6 but it was in show room condition with 109 hours.I thought I was going to look at an 8x8 and it turned out to be the 6x6 and it had never spent the night outside.I have 286 hours on it now with no problems, but I do maintain the hell out of it and it only sleeps outside when I do.

Beagleman, you certainly have more playroom than i do here in France, did you fabricate the trailer if so will it float? i am looking for something for getting my firewood home and that looks like the thing!

Wow...nice kill.

Looks loaded for bear that setup.

Where did you acquire such an interesting trailer? Clearly it's generating interest here. Is there a brand name etc?

T/hanks for sharing your adventure

I always liked the Conquest, nice compact size, liquid cooled, perfect for areas where it gets hot. Nice find.

Many years back we had $500 bounties on Wolfs. That was big money 30 or so years ago, the Wolfs didn't last long.

The trailer is made at Greer tank in Fairbanks,Alaska. The trailer is very rugged,I drag it everywhere and it will float,(if it could talk,it would cry) I had to swim out to retrieve the wolf in the muskeg,keep in mind the machine doesn't swim well with the tracks. It also has formed pockets on the lid to put two action packers and nice anchor points on the sides and ends for strapping down your gear. It has six large hinged rings on the inside and is sealed very well.The frame is made of 2x2 tube steal and has a tow ring on the back for guys like me that hunts with guys that ride 4 wheelers. Sorry I don't have any video pulling my trailer, a 4 wheeler and another trailer through the mud holes. They don't laugh at my 20 horse putt putt any more.

2002 conquest 8 by 8 with plastic tracks pulling 2 bull moose at once. Pulled them with ease.

[beagle man]

Nice work there Modster, a couple of years ago I did manage to drag a small bull guts and all through a couple hundred yards of willows to the side of a river for skinning and quartering. I had all I wanted with the 6x6, if it was a big moose I don't think I could.

Pulling from the roll cage up high like that gets the heads way off the ground. Pulls way better like that. Pulling up a hill i had to unhook one and do one at a time.

[beagle man]

The mounting points for the roll bar are not very rugged or I would have pulled from the the top, its more of a light bar than a roll bar.
