When road hunting in steep terrain, it is best if the vehicle you are using has a sunroof. That way the passenger has a clear line of sight and a solid rest.

Always bring your 088 with the 4' bar so when you pull up to the landing with a cull pile, you can cut that winters firewood.

forgot this one....need to PRACTICE and use the "slide and glide method" ......basically when you see one, the passenger roles out at a speed of no less the 10 mph with a loaded gun, and then assumes the kneeled shooting position, the truck needs to keep going WITH THE DOOR OPEN...so as it makes seatbelt sounds...this way the desired game focuses on the truck vs the shooter and your in the money!

If your about 100 ft from the end of a road that you can see and there is a young boy with his mom sneaking on a buck thats there , make sure that you drive by while flipping them off, jump out right in front of them and shoot the buck that they have been sneaking on. Also make sure its dead by shooting it at least five times , once in each leg first to make sure that it cant run away so you can take good aim for the kill shot. This is just another example of proper road hunter ethics. also dont forget to start your road hunting adventures at three in the morning because you might see one in the headlights and get to shoot it in the road.

It is acceptable to use a .45 from the cab as long as a couple guidelines are followed...
  Point the Kimber out the window, or straight up when riding the hammer back down to decock.  Otherwise the driver could hit a bump, your beer might loose it's balance in your other hand, and in your hurry to not spill, you may let your thumb slide off the hammer and possibly rip one through your own quad and hamstring... 

It's a hard road to drive (pun?) but somebody's got to do it.  Be safe y'all.  It's crazy out there!

When using the hood of the as a rest try to shoot uphill so that you can wear your scope ring dent in your forehead proudly.  Also remember when leaning across the cab for a shot that a deer in the scope is no guarantee that your barrel is not 1” from the driver’s rear view mirror

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.

Get a hunting partner who is a hobby helicopter pilot to scout clear cuts from the safety of your truck.

Also

When bored make sure to let out your hunting frustrations by four wheeling through a mud bog that another hunter is trying to watch. Its also recommended to get stuck for the entertainment of the watching hunter.

#250 While road hunting during the day find those honey holes that you can headlight at night. Its easier to hunt at night while all the other hunters are sleeping.

#251 With the price of fuel going up get a Geo with a 1,000 lb battery powered winch (just in case). You'll have more money for beer and ammo.

I forgot about that pic Cboom.  Man that brings back such memories, I'll never forget that hunt.  My buddy and I shot 2 spikes while that photo was being taken, you can't see us in the dust cloud behind the rig though.  My buddy bailed out the passenger door, I was driving and couldn't get my door open so I just kicked the windshield out and sprang into action.  Grandpa was getting on up there in years by the time this pic was taken and had long since retired from his days of jumping out of a moving vehicle to shoot a deer.  You should have seen how pissed he was after the rig landed, he had spilled Busch Light all over himself in the backseat.

While road hunting stop and check other hunters rigs for free sh-t laying out in the open. Might score some free busch light.

Road hunt at night and look for eyeballs so you know what clear cuts to sit and watch from your truck in the morning.

Lastly, road hunt in three's; first rig wakes up the deer, second rig gets the deer up and moving, thrid rig spots the deer and shoots it.
