I started hunting on foot, walking 3-4 hours some times to get places, THANK GOD< I never killed any deer on some of them early hunts LOL
but I sure did learn a LOT about deer, habitat they like, scouting,. finding them and then it also taught me the things I needed to add to be better equipped with what I could afford, as my budget back then was tiny if at all!

it also got me to meet and learn some things from others I ran into while hunting, heck my first deer I shot I was about 2 miles from my uncles house where I stayed at to hunt, walking every day from his place to where I hunted!
after the shot,(archery hunting)
I was at a loss almost as the shot wasn't the best and that deer ran for over a mile with me tracking it, the WRONG WAY from my uncles place
as I was walking out, after deciding to let it go and try and go find help!
I actually ran into a older guy I some what knew , he asked me how things were and what the HECK, I was doing so far from my uncles place,
I explained things and he helped me track and find that deer, drag it out to a old logging road in the woods and hauled it back to my uncles for me in his truck
Talk about getting lucky !

But I never let some of them WHAT IF"S stop me from going hunting and learning! and I am very glad I didn;t let them, as , I might have learned a lot of things the hard way by doing wrong, but it sure made me into a much better hunter IMO< due to them hard lessons learned, as you tend to remember them better than when every thing is giving to you easy!

so, just cause you DON"T have a truck or?? you can still go out and hunt and even NOT shoot anything and still learn a LOT, solo, or with others, doesn;t matter, its being OUT THERE that counts!

and as for your vehicle, maybe you can just add a trailer hitch to what you got, be the cheapest way, if you already have a trailer, and its not a BIG trailer, my friends use there Subaru to haul dirt bikes and atv's and even snowmobiles at times, they claim tow well and get great MPG''s too LOL

also something to keep in mind, many GAME dept's will HELP you recover a dead bear if you need help
I actually think its part of there JOB if they have time to
just like State troopers can help you change a flat tire, few maybe know this and maybe fewer will DO so if asked anymore, but at one time it was p[art of there JOB description! if not, they many times can at least help, get you help!
so, keep that in mind or look into it! be another option maybe for you if things go right!
