... also it's a good idea to carry a pair of car ramps in the bed.
If you position yours self properly on an uphill clear cut with the seat tilted back and your front end up, you can really cover some ground!

A portable rifle stand is a bonus, as to not have to drag out your rifle from behind the seat!

-make sure you drive an old jeep with a flip down windshield, makes and best gun rest there is 
-make sure you have a potato launcher so you can shoot out m80's and drive the deer to you
-and the hardcore road hunters drive a camo rig so the deer dont see ya  :chuckle:

Road hunt, nothing better than crusing around in the cab of a warm dry truck, make sure to have the maximum number of people that will fit in your rig along for the ride, makes the drag to the road easier.
A few good road hunting tips
1) Make sure to have a big thermos of coffee, nothing worse that having to drive back to camp for more.
2) Get a semi auto like a remington with the removable magazine (clip) easy to throw in when your bailing out of the truck, no hinged floor plates, they get in the way.
3) If you do use a bolt action, use a rubber band to hold open the bolt, hook it around the bolt and then the butt stock, nothing worse than having the bolt jiggle closed when your riding around on all those bumpy roads.
4) For a hot lunch, wrap a u-nuke-it burritto in foil and put it up on the defroster, it will be nice and warm come lunch time.
5) Dont forget to take your gun with you when you stop to pee (after all the coffee), nothing worse than missing the big one because your standing there holding the little one.
6) A money saving tip is to get a 30-06 and dont buy any ammo, just stop at every camp and ask if you can borrow a shell or two because you forgot
yours, heck you'll have a box or two after a few days.
7) Make sure to have the biggest scope you can afford and set it on the highest setting, that way you wont need a set of binos.
 Make sure to count all the bucks hanging so when you get home you can say i saw blankety, blankety # of bucks but nothing i could of shot at.

I hope this helps, it must work because the friggen road by my place looks like 1-5 during rush hour during the rifle hunt.

 Now why didn't I think of this  :bash: :chuckle:

#69 Remember when shooting at steep angles off your hood, the scope is usually mounted 1.5" above your bore.  Make sure you don't shoot a hole in your fender.

Ever try fishing with dynamite? Same principal works great for late season road hunting! :oAlso works great on those rude hunters who don't wave or give you enough room to squeeze by! Works even better taping the dynamite to cases of Busch light before tossing them out! :chuckle:
That wasn't me! It was a black Camaro! It went that way!

I don't think it's a coincidence that they make the Busch Light cans in hunter orange every fall.  I usually open a 30 pack and tape them to my chest, back, and arms.  400 square inches, above the waist and visible from all sides - so I'm clearly legal.

Huntin juice!   (actually had some other hunters call it that as I was coming out of a grocery store with a case)
