my advice would be to hang on to the truck, if your a serious hunter then it is worth every dollar for all them days your out and have something to put in the back, my f 150 is the perfect hunting vehicle and i hunt with a buddy who uses a car and lets just say he wants to always ride with me, or trade vehicles if he goes and im working or something

I drive a 2-door 1997 Cavalier stick and it did fine pulling this 13pter home once i got up the big arse hill by where I hunt!

You get some funny looks driving through downtown Des Moines in a cavalier with a buck tied across the back of it!

That was in December 2005. Here's my doe from December 2006 on my cavalier:

Now what remains to be decided is if you call a 10 year old 2-door chevy with 150k on it sporty.

Would I much rather have a truck? Hell yeah! But I'm a broke med student married to a broke grad school student, so my dreams of a truck will have to wait! So for now, I'm perfectly happy driving my deer home tied onto the back of a chevy cavalier. As I told a guy at a gas station when he asked why the hell I didn't have a truck, "I'd rather have a dead deer on the back of my cavalier than an empty pick-up truck!"

stick a deer in ur trunk its simple

Most states I've lived in you have to have a hoof or some part of the deer visible from outside the vehicle to transport it, besides I store my golf clubs in the trunk!

I drive a Sebring Coupe (think stratus RT or Mits Eclipse). I don't have any trouble getting where I need to go, but I don't hunt real remote areas and don't mind walking if I have to.

I don't let deer get near my car! I'm not putting one in it or on it. It just is not happening. When I kill a deer I am either hunting with someone that has a truck or call someone that has one to help me. I can't load one myself anyway because of my size, so I would need help either way. Really limits the way hunt.

I did think about putting a hitch on my car and getting a small trailer or one of those racks that hang off the back. I just can't bring myself to put a hitch on my Sebring though.

It is a pain the butt, I won't lie about it. But I used to have a truck years ago (when I didn't hunt) and I really didn't like it so I don't see myself getting another one. I have thought about a minivan though. Even a decent beater hatchback would work. My buddy got a nice sized deer in a ford Aspire, so I know it can be done.

It takes 4WD to get in and out of my place.I have a Pickup.But because of all the miles my wife drives she has a GEO Tracker.

Last Winter I drove it in the snow I was surprised as to how well it handled,just like a Jeep.She gets around 28MPG.

I have a Carryall that I had on the back of my Jeep,that works fine on the back of the GEO,or you can put the Back Seat down and put everything back there.

My Wife had a Honda CRV (before she totalled it)I was thinking about putting a hitch on it, and then a cargo platform that fits the hitch. I thought about that since my Ford F250 2 Wheel Drive is pretty much worthless in the snow without a bunch of weight, and the fact that the wife would CRAP if I put a deer in the SUV.

Anything but a mini vanwill work just fine. My dad and his buddy used to haul deer in my moms mini van and its one of the funniest pictures ive ever seen.

I drive a lifted Jeep and there's not much room in it, so I bought a rack that hooks up to the hitch, works great for loaded deer!!
