Love this thread... Amongst my friends I'm the only redneck that throws there deer in a car. The thing is, I have a pickup.. I just drive the Corolla a lot more to work and as a run about because I have to drive a bit to get away from hunting pressure, and fuel costs pain me in the truck. Plus on some parcels a car is more incognito than a pickup with this or that hunting sticker in the rear window. Some dudes think having a new lifted truck will make them a better hunter or something. They just want to look the part. This thread laughs at them
I have a pickup but use a mini-van until the snows make it impossible. It's not hard to load 'em in my truck bed, but it is easier to stick em in the back of the van.
Growing up we always had cars and put em on top. My first buck ever, on the trip home I ordered some Burger King and when I got to the drive thru window the attendant got all the employees to come check out the buck and they were cheering and congratulating me. Man how things have changed. Now I keep em out of sight. But I honk and thumbs up when I see a nice deer on a car or hitch hauler.
I've shared this before, but one of my favorites was driving the 2hrs home with my dad, his hunting mentor, and my brothers stuffed in a Geo Metro with a black powder doe on the roof. I think that was his mentors last hunt, for sure in the mountains. It was great.
