Hunting Vehicles
 
What do all of you drive and use for hunting. I have a Blazer when I hunt at school but when I'm home I use my dad's 96 Dodge Ram 1500. I really want a new Dodge with the new Cummins 6 cyl. turbo but i gotta wait til i get out of school.

Mine's the red Dodge seen here at www.decalsplus.com with the skull in the middle of the back window. I've since added deer tracks up one side and turkey tracks up the other side of the rear window....lot's of compliments.

Sad thing is that's I'm not joking. :D

LOL JeremyK that is great. Last year I saw a early 90's Olds with a deer strapped to the roof. I laughed my butt off.:D

Great lookin truck Rob. My dad's is an ext. cab 4X4 with an 8 ft. bed. Its a behemoth.

I use an Isuzu 1981 diesel 4x4. Gets good mileage and its really quiet for a diesel. By the way about 300,000 miles and still runs great just not very fast.

JeramyK, I can picture that and I'm LMAO! Hey Rob, looks kinda cold there in PA... wait, I'm from PA. [8D] I kinda wish it was cold, worked up a real lather trimmin' shooting lanes after work just tonight. Yeah I know, I shoulda had it done sooner, but it's a new section of timber I just got the OK to hunt. [&:]

My huntin' do all rig is the ol' 98 Ford F150 Xtra cab... been a good truck, can't complain. You can pick mine out by the Realtree license plate and the little Calvin (cartoon), bow hunter treestand sticker in the back window. :D

Texasaggie - you've brought back some fond memories ... I used to have an 80 Nissan 4x4 - not much on the open road, but put it in 4 low and I think the thing would have gone straight up a 89 1/2 degree incline LOL ... it too was full out camo except the side windows, windshield and lights, I can't remember if it was 10.5x32's or 11.5x33's ... either way, it was a blast.

Nowadays it's a 89 S-Blazer.

I had a 96 Tacoma Single Cab shortbed 4X4that was awesome. I had to get rid of it because I needed more power than the 4 cyl. In lowlock and locking front diffs it would go anywhere. Buy I miss it.:(

I drive my Redneck Express. 93 Mazda King Cab 4X4 with 9.5X33s BF fricking Goodrich All Terrains with a utility cap on back. My wife has tried to sell it twice but she knows she will go before my truck. Nothing special except I love to mess around in it because it's paid for and I beat the living you know what out of it and it keeps going. I only need to drive back and forth to the airport so what better thing to leave there? It's been hot wired since 94 and always left unlocked. Nobody wants to steal it I guess.

My favorite hunting vehicle use to be an 81 Delorean. I always had dreams of having the big boy strapped to the back going home from Va. Never got to do that. Oh well. One day I might buy anther one and get my chance. I don't know but maybe you might have seen me flying by you one day. My tag was AQUITED.:D:D:D

My stepdads hunting rig ( was mine last year for coons ) is a 86 Izuzu Trooper, never been stuck and i've gone through some deep stuff with it. My rig is a 2000 F-250 crew cab with the POWERSTROKE diesel...... First year huntin with it so i'll see how it performs.

muley69 09-15-2004 09:40 PM

RE: Hunting Vehicles
 
I too have a Powerstroke F250 ext cab, great for work, but it sucks to hunt out of. I went and bought a 1990 f250 4x4 regular cab and now the diesel stays parked when I'm hunting. Can never turn the big truck around in the mountains, my "little f250 (351) is much better. Best one ever though was a 1976 CJ-7 I had years ago, man never should have sold it.

My rig...is actually dad's. a 1997 Black Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie SLT with King Cab and 8ft box with a V8 Magnum under the hood. She's got the 360 in her, and boy let me tell you what, that thing has BALLS. love it...all except for the 14mpg and the massive size!!!! :D:D

Black, 02 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab - hate it, traded a 97 Dodge Ram 2500 for it and i will never get anything less than a full size pickup again, i learned my lesson.

I have a 97 honda civic...but we have land right by our house so I usually borrow my aunts ATV to take me to my stands. Or sometimes i just walk.

RE: Hunting Vehicles
 
I was triving a '91 S-10. Sold it to buy '88 Toyota 4x4, jacked up with huge super swampers. The guy backed out of the deal due to some unforseen situations. Instead I went out an bought a 4-wheeler and will pull it with the wife's '03 Trailblazer. If I piss her off then I'll have to get my '04 Impala fitted with a towing package.:D

I drive a Chevy Tahoe but I want to trade my wife vehicles. She has a Pontiac Trans Sport Minivan. I want to tear the back seats out and add shelves and bins for hunting gear, rubber floor, then paint the van Mossy Oak with a Hunter Orange Flame Job!!!

She's not going for it :(

I'm with texasaggiebowhunter, I have an 88' toyota 4x4. You just can't tear them up. last year this truck got 2nd overall in our local tuff truck series. The best part, we drove ours there and back, everyone else had there's on trailers.

Mines a 1996 Ford F-150 4X4 with a 8 foot bed. I just hope that I kill enough this year to fill that bed up.;)

huntin with an o4 f150 4x4 this year. Traded in a tacoma 4x4 for it. in retrosepect i think i may be sorry. I got the ford stuck the other day. Of course all season tires probly arent real condusive to the extreame amounts of clay mud left in a dirt bottom by rain that was left over from hurricane francis. Still it only takes gettin stuck once to lower my opinion.
Oh well just had to vent.

Uhh yeaa! tires do make a difference. Don't blame it on the ride. It's just 4 tires trying to get traction when it's in the mud!

81 Ford Bronco 4x4

It also doubles as my camper I have bed roll in back and fold down endgate to cook on...

Works like a charm.

By the way Bronco's are about the BEST 4x4 you can buy....

I dont have a truck at the moment, hoping to get a toyota tacoma sometime soon. For the last few years i just use my daily driver, a 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS coupe. Its all fixed up, 1200 dollar custom wheels, hi-po intake, exhaust, etc. It has a pretty big trunk which i have stuffed like over 12 or so deer in the last few years.
You want to talk about gettin some strange looks. People see this little white import with a big ol rally wing and a stove pipe exhaust pull up and i get out in full camo and pop the trunk a drag out a deer. I put a tarp in my trunk to keep the blood off the carpeting. Damn i guess i truely am a west virginia hillbilly.
When i hunt with the deer club that im a member of, we have a 1969 international crew cab truck, its a beast.
Oh yeah, since my car is AWD it does go back up in the woods with me, i have had it on some pretty rough logging trails and back mountain dirt roads.
