True Blue Road-Hunters!

Archery "hunters" driving road with arrows nocked in back of pick-up sitting in lounge chairs.  Took the cake in my book.

I've got a second deer tag and might do this, thanks

During late rifle seasons, I have employed "road hunting" by driving, glassing, driving, glassing.  I have to admit, it's nice to switch things up once in a while

Pretty much how we spring bear hunt for the most part. Gotta cover a lot of ground and glass and glass and glass.

I've seen a lot of really nice legal bucks from the road during the season.  Not sure why folks look down on people doing what they know and what they can to be successful.  Plus if every rig pulled over and everyone got out and hit the hill, it would be crowded beyond belief.   I see nothing wrong with taking a drive during down hours, seeing some sites, breathing some air.  More fun to me than sitting in a blind over a bait pile.   

This all can be argued from any different opinion and side.   There are things about it I hate, things about it I don't understand, and things about it I see are bad.  There is a reverse to everyone of those statements.   There are things about it that I like, that I understand, and that I see are good.   

and yes, I have made fun of and haganged and scoffed at some as well.

I was discussing my late Chewuch tag with a buddy who has hunted winthrop for 40 years and is graciously letting me stay at his cabin there and also going with me on the hunt, told him I was bringing my packboard and a plastic tobbogan to slide in the snow if I get lucky, he looked at me like I was crazy, he said buddy we arent getting out of the truck till your ready to shoot one, we will see more big bucks from the truck than you have have ever seen up here before.
So, guessing I must be a road hunter this time.
We shall see how it pans out.

Im not sure how a person can afford to be a road hunter these days

  a few extra gallons of gas is all it really takes.  In reality it probably costs a lot less to road hunt than buy gear, scents, calls, trail cams, batteries, GPS, scent block, tents, packs, and other performance gear.

I hear you though, I've seen some mad-dog road hunters that put on a heck of a lot of miles in their mega-cab 1-ton diesels, packed to the gills with cheetos, jerky, orange vests, .30-06s and busch lite

SEVERAL of the biggest bucks I have ever seen harvested have been shot by the road.   One of the biggest was a guy in a station wagon parked on the road by a clearcut.  He was sitting there waiting for light drinking his coffee, and this 7x7 mossyhorned 35 inch muley crossed the road in front of him.  He stepped out, and killed it.  Didn't know how to gut it so brought it down to the servicestation sticking out of the trunk of his station wagon.  COULDNT get the head in the back so it hung out...NOT on purpose to show it off.   Took him up the hill out of town and helped him gut it.   

oh, and the monsterWinthrop buck from year before last.  Do you think she got that way back in the woods.     HINT: sitting in road, whole, no drag marks.

I just pray that none of them like to steal. My vehicle will be parked at the end of some dead end road and we will be way in the woods.
