You can cruise rugged quail terrain all day long on four or five gallons of regular gas, and the 2-range automatic transmission will allow you to go much faster than you really want to on a cold winter day. The Mule does not come standard with a windshield, nor would you want one on such a hunting vehicle, but a pair of goggles or a wool face mask are certainly nice items to have aboard in extra chilly weather. Clark's and Young's Mules both have custom made dog boxes that feature built-in high bench seats for extra passengers. These high seats give an unobstructed view of the surrounding area and are great for spotting distant game. And if you have a hunting partner that talks too much you can always put him on the high seat and drive the Mule under some low-hanging mesquite limbs.
Many quail hunters like to hunt from jeeps or specially rigged pickup trucks.
Thankfully, there are some really neat hunting vehicles out here in West Texas where quail coveys can often be widely scattered, and the rugged terrain can wear down the best of hunting dogs in just a couple of hours. A hunting vehicle that can carry several hunting dogs, a full load of hunting gear and three or four hunters across rugged terrain is a pleasure to use. Add the Kawasaki Mule to that list of hunting machines. Auction, banquet set for March Bill Shahan and the Abilene chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation are getting geared up for their annual banquet and auction that will be held March 24 at Joe Allen's Lytle Bend Ranch facility. The Classic tourney was held in the Big Easy in 1999 and the 45-man field of professional anglers found the hundreds of miles of fishable water surrounding New Orleans to their liking.
