First I remember was the same big red 3 wheeler. I remember my dad going through deep arse water and it would just shut off, light and all, scared the shite out of me.

We still have an Argo in the barn. Is is perpetually broken. Huge piece of shite.


Same. We still have an 8x8. Constant fuel delivery problems for us.

The last time I used it, it stranded me about a mile deep across my farm, walked all the way back in chest waders to get the ranger, that shite sucked.

They are fun when running right though, nothing like driving full speed and yanking a lever down around a corner.

Same here. My mom found one at a garage sale around '90 or '91 for like $100. My dad put a little money into it and we rode it for a couple of years until he bought our first ATV (Honda Fourtrax 300).

yep...we had a swamp fox...damn great idea, but it just wasn't the slightest bit dependable. I would say that you had to work on it 3 hours for every hour that it was used in the woods.

I am not sure why no one has ever worked the kinks out of that type of machine...

Since we didn't deer hunt but duck and goose hunted like crazy going up my first ATV was Warren Coco's go devil built before he really started marketing them. I still have extra handles for that motor at the house. They would dig for oil and break seemingly constantly.

It was quite the upgrade from pirogues of course now 30 years later I hunt almost exclusively out of pirogues.
