Hunting with no truck

[Tactical Dave]

Or you could always invite someone that has a truck to come along and hunt with you. By the way I drive a F150 4x4.

The people I know with trucks don't hunt.... Thought of that.

No, you cannot hunt. Real men drive trucks. Not sissy cars.

Ha , I was just told this week by a co worker that my 2wd Dodge 1500 wasn't a "real" truck, that I needed a 4wd dualy diseal then I'd have a "real" truck.

You can also buy these giant heavy duty trash bags. I stuffed a 4 pointer into one a couple of weeks ago. I'd guess 130-140lb. He mostly fit. ;-)

It contained the blood and hair, so it worked.

I'm in the same boat and was planning on just roping a deer to the top of the trunk if I'm fortunate enough to get one. I know it'd look redneck as could be, but I can't justify buying a truck just to transport a deer I may or may not shoot. I also can't really see me getting a deer wrapped up in a tarp and into the truck of my little chevy without spilling some blood & guts some where in the back. I'd rather just have to hose off the lid of the trunk and look like a redneck.

It wouldn't look as redneck as someone I knew that stuffed his deer in the backseat of a convertible Cavalier for a few seasons. Top down, buckled in. He was a bit of an idiot but was always good for some laughs.

You say that everyone you know that has a truck doesnt hunt. Seems like a perfectly good time to make some new friends.

I was leaving Profire last night and saw a guy on a moped with a deer stand and bow case on the back. I wondered how he was going to get the deer home.

I retrieved a deer many moons ago in a hilly woods, with a Chevette. 'Bout blew the glass out crossing a washout. It made it, and up a steep hill, but man I was standin' on it.
Had it on video, lost it in a move

 

[snapping turtle]

Hunted and fished for many years with a Jetta. The back seats fold down and access the trunk. Can hold lots of stuff including two deer with the trunk lid open. I also had roof racks so I could carry outside the car.

Other than the cost of parts the Jetta is a great hunting ride. Limmited in off road action but good on gas and the front seats fold down so I could even sleep in it.

Be creative and use what is available.

I have a 1993 chevy z71 as a hunting truck now but if I had a jetta there would be times I would still take it over the truck. Not many but anything long distance with gas as expensive as it is.

What happened to the tradition of tying the carcass across the hood of the Family Truckster station wagon?

I prefer an old plastic red checkered tablecloth...

They go in a trunk easy. Sometimes, they are a little hard to get out.

I stopped laughing long enough to see the 2x10's? under the elk holding up it's back end before I busted out uncontrollably again.

On a more serious note, this has given me the inspiration to have the rack of my target buck sticking out of the sunroof while bringing it home if I am so fortunate this year.

Drove from Greene county, to Indy more than once with a deer strapped to the top of my old Jeep Cherokee Sport. Lots of one finger salutes in the Bloomington area, but thats ok. Now we have a truck, so no more 'showing off'.
