    Ute canopy setup - dogs and firearms

    I note there was another thread on this, but wondering if anyone has a nice canopy setup with lockup for firearms with dogs on top or catered for in some way.

    From what I view of UK shooting content, they tend to run some great setups with crates on drawers.

    So far, I believe the below pic is the ducks nuts. Lockable drawers with removable divider on top. The drawers have a removable cover, so can slide out and clean up after dogs have been in there and instantly have a clean canopy for other duties.

    Any inspiration greatly appreciated!

    Other mate has dog boxes inside canopy like your photo but nothing underneath. Too easy to make up a low box to go inside crate the dogs can step all over etc. rifles are better off inside cab.

    Was BINGO the name of the farmer or the dog?

    This setup is pretty good. The open hatch in the photo is completely enclosed and lockable for gun/tools etc and the main body of the canopy has airvents that pop out if you have dogs in the back.
