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 tips1) 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 forgotyours, 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.

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)
