I leave my bow in the pickup all the time. It's a supercab and it just lays on the back seat. It's the last thing I grab on the way to the stand and the first thing put away when I get back. Once, though, I had it in the house for some reason and got all the way to my hunting spot before I missed it. It's only 8 miles, though. Once this year I started walking to my stand and got a couple of blocks before I realized I didn't have my bow.
