#12.  Your rifle must be instantly handy. Keeping it resting between your knees whilst driving insures a quick retrieval and it can easily be brought to action out either side window.

#13.  Do not forget to wear above the maximum required by law of hunter orange; you may actually have to get out of the vehicle.

Never bring a buddy that wants to practice on his cow call all day when your deer hunting!!!

- Dont forget to engage your hubs... (see post above for muddy boots)

- Disable the "door ajar" chime, and the seat belt chime. It will come to haunt you right after you turn down the radio, and quietly put your rig in park just before the shot. All of the previously mentioned will most certainly spook the critters!

- Keep your windows down and heater up. You may not always have time to get out.

- Never let the guy behind you pass until you hit a straight away. He might shoot your deer.

- Keep your scope covers on. Coffee is a *itch to see through when dry.



I like this thread. Before I knew better, I used to road hunt. I may or may not have experienced all or most of the tips already posted.... Hilarious. Turns out once I started wearing out boot leather, I stopped seeing as much, and started killing WAY more deer and elk.

Alway's take the corners wide and slow,they could be right on the otherside.

dont set the alarm with the key fob whilst sneeking back around said corner

Eat a healthy meal the day before......a pot full of beans can really ruin your (and passengers) road hunting trip. Small space + methane gas = long day.

Here is one I see a lot from people driving the highway trying to shoot deer off my place. Set the shooting sticks up in the window and drive around with them like that. That way you have a solid rest when you see a animal.

Looks like we have a lot of experienced road hunters here

Road hunting bow hunters be sure and put a piece of carpet on your hood so you don't scratch the paint when you put your bow with arrow nocked on it.    Actually have seen guys do this up the Nile during late bow season.

Make sure your sliding back window works, soyou can throw out empty beers and get full ones out of the cooler in the bed of the truck

we saw the same guys two years in a row up reecer in a white range rover with something like this. they never got out of their rig...ever. so they said anyhow

be sure to use bright white toilet paper when you crap on the landings,this lets other hunters know that this area has been hunted,and lets fellow hunters know where not to step if they get out to crap.This will keep the wife from getting pissed when she cleans your boots when you get home.

Gotta ad drive fast as hell so the deer cant run away !     Take a good looking betty along the woods can be lonely and we dont endorse any broke back mountain tactic's .    Auto loader clip gun a must accurcy by vollume !   energy drinks since beer isn't alowed and if you do take said betty into woods you will still have the power to drag a huge buck fiffty yards down hill to truck . oh yeah allways drive a Silverado since there seat heaters are Dope !

If you see a rig near the end of a dead end road on public land, make sure to drive right past it and roll right up on the hunter that parked a ways back so he could tiptoe into the meadow at the end of the road.  Then sit there with your half-ton diesel in idle for 10 minutes while you talk with your buddy about where you should go next.  Then, spend 12 minutes making a 3-point turnaround in your half-ton diesel and give it some extra gas on your way outta there.
