John Eberhart's Mommy Wagon of Death

This is my first year without a truck. I have been hunting out of a Toyota Corolla. It is pretty awful but doable. It straight up ain’t going to work for ice fishing. Thankfully all my friends have new trucks that are willing to take on trips.

Wow, somwone else other than me drives a minivan to hunt in. I love mine, I put a Cabelas carry rack on the hitch, to keep the blood out of the van. I know everyone makes fun of me but deep inside they are jealous....

Ditto Briar and I don't know about you but I enjoy the hell out of stirring the proverbial macho stickered up truck thing.

My soccer mom mini is a regular front wheel drive and my only issue ever has been bottom clearance. In my past (in the 70's) I've been stuck in 4X trucks (not mine) so far back in the crap that a 100 foot cable on a regular tow truck couldn't reach it and we had to get additional cable. Getting back into places isn't an issue as long as I can walk.

Pretty nice to slide between the seats and sit on a tote to change while listening to the radio. Also never have to step out into the rain until I'm dressed and never have to put down a mat to stand on in the weather. Can also sleep in it if I need to. Just like a saddle has advantages over conventional stands, so do vans with the seats out over trucks. They also attract all the girls?????????????????????????????????????

My father always told me that four wheel drive was good for getting you stuck in more inaccessible places :)
 
I used to own a mini van. I loved it and drove it into the ground.
Unfortunately, most people also drive them into the ground.
When shopping around I found a good deal on a Yukon. It does the same things. Maybe a little more, but twice the fuel.

When I saw he could almost standup in that wagon I realized why all his deer look so big! Just poking fun is all. That video was awesome. Thank you for putting it together.

No mini van here . My choice is a Subaru Crosstrek AWD good ground clearance. I keep the back seats down and I have plenty of room. Deer hauler on the hitch modified to carry my electric fat tire bike. I use a Rambo cart to get my deer out of the woods. It works great for me and at 34 miles per gallon can't beat it.
