We also took a trailer the first time. It was more bother than it was worth. Since then we have gotten along fine with a truck. This yearone in our group pulled an enclosed trailer with a suburban with a 40 gal. tank. They had to stop for fuel sooner than those of us with 26 gal. tanks. I have a crew cab truck that hauls three of us and our gear and animals. It's tight but we get by ok. Two to a truck is about right. The reason we get away with three is because I built a rack to haul stuff on top. We also have had some guys back out and have room Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 hunt at Mirage.
