#7 The window mount for your spotting scope may seem like a good rest for your magnum rifle, but apparently window glass is not designed with rifle recoil in mind. (or so I have heard)  :chuckle:

#8  A rifle with a magazine is handy for quickly getting ready to meet the gamie that is driving towards you  :chuckle:

#9 - Don't forget your bottle of JD!  Just remember to hide it under your orange vest behind the seat in case the Gammie drives by your rig.

 :chuckle: this is going to be a loooong list

fold-in mirrors are a must for those tight spots in the road.

#10. Make a buddy drive his rig so you burn his gas and that way you can be the guy in the passenger seat that shoots the buck!

#11 - If the weather is nice, that cooler with all the empty beer cans rolling around it in the back of the truck makes a nice elevated platform from which to shoot.

#101-Turn up the music, because the animals love it.

#53 - careful not to start too early in the day, or to stay out too late, because campside cooking and BS'ing requires a large time commitment.

#54 - you need to come back for lunch, or you will not be strong enough to shoot in the late afternoon.

That also makes a good seat if the weather is good and you have a cool hunting buddy with a truck that will drive. But I have found my medium sized recliner is much more comfortable in the back of a truck........

#62 - remember your ear protection.  Nothing will get your ears ringing worse then the sound of your buddies gun going in the cab as he rests it on the window.

When you fire that ultra mag from the drivers seat forego warning the guy glassing next to you, hell want to roll down his window which will scare the deer.

Yeah, but if your buddies in the cab aren't careful when they toss the empties out the window and over the cab, those darn recliners sure can soak up a lot of backwash (or spit from copenhagen).

NEVER slam on the brakes when a deer is spotted. You'll want to continue driving as if you didn't see it. When you're out of its sight, have all of your passengers bail out and sneak back down the road to shoot the deer. Just be aware, if they do this their boots may become muddy. But hey, that's hunting.
