#217:  If it's muzzy season, make sure you're moving at a good clip when you shoot.  The cab of your rig will fill up with more smoke than SnoopDogg's ride if you are doing anything less than 20m.p.h.

#330-If the shot isn't ideal from out the window a rest can be found from using the hood or bed of truck...

A true road hunter has those mirrors that can be used as a rifle rest, complete with a padded area on top so not to scratch either gun or paint on the mirror.

Always carry a second spotlight, in case the main one malfunctions.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

OMG this reminds me of the time I was in bi-mart and this guy is getting a new rifle. The day before modern elk in Oregon if I remember right. He was yapping away and you could tell he did not know anything about hunting or guns. He is in the middle of getting his new tasco scope put on and they are bore sighting it. He then pipes off and says how happy he is that they are sighting it in for him. Since he does not have time to shoot it before the season and does not want to waste ammo. True story all I could do is laugh :chuckle: I tried to tell him what bore sighting is and he would not listen :bash:

#364 If for whatever reason you do see an animal on private property. Be sure to tear down all the signs and get rid of them where NO ONE will find them.

#365 Never wear your seat belt (you could get hung up in it while bailing)

#366 Never buy anything less then a 24 or 30 pack. You don't want to run out. Trust me.

#563 - Be sure your pick-em-up has a monster size brush guard.  Sometimes you don't want to have to take the time to clean your rifle after shooting, so instead of shooting....

So are these tips species specific, or all they good for all types of Deer? :dunno: I am going to Walmart right after work to buy a rifle so I can get the end of day road hunting.  :tup: Thanks for all the tips. :chuckle:

Be sure to get an electric pickup next year so you can road hunt quietly.  No need to scare away the deer with the rattle of a combustion engine. :tup:

Smear peanut butter on your headlights.  This dims the light and attracts the deer at the same time, often making for an easy chip shot for your buddy that is hanging out the passenger window at the ready

#888 Instead of giving a friendly wave when passing another road hunter, just give em about 5 or 6 cordial honks of your truck's horn

#889 Practice honing your road hunting skills during the off-season.  There's less competition then.

#890 Be sure you're diesel truck has a good camo paint scheme so the deer won't see you.

Grease all the fittings you can find to eliminate all the squeaks.

If you are moving fairly slowly and spot a deer and he looks like he's about to bolt, slowly step out of your rig while keeping it in gear.  The deer will stare transfixed as your rig ghost rides itself off the cliff ahead, offering you a perfect broadside shot. 

Have the claims department phone number from your insurance company handy.
