Buying a gently-used 32mpg four-banger has been one of the smarter moves I've made as a hunter. Driving 2-5 hours away to better hunting grounds cheaply is worth more than a truck bed, towing capacity, and off-roading capability.
The wife and I are debating a 2nd car to replace my 270k mile 97 GMC that gets 15ish mpg on a good day. I've strongly been considering an electric/gas hybrid. Probably not a Prius just because they're so small, but I have driven and liked Camries and Corollas and Toyota now makes hybrid versions. I'm leaning towards a Toyota solely because of good prior experience with their non-electric models, and my understanding that they were the first to make a mass-produced hybrid vehicle that has a pretty good track record. But I'm open to suggestions.
I know I can hunt out of a car. I've killed a fair amount of deer and pigs out of a Corolla and my wife's "1st love," a white 2-door v6 Mustang. I'm curious to see how many saddlehunters here have experience with hybrids; specifically their experience with using them as vehicles for hunting.
