Big Game Hunting Rigs
« on: March 17, 2014, 03:22:43 PM »
I am fortunate to have a Tahoe and a pickup so I never really have to choose. But if you could only have one vehicle what would it be? Or just tell us what is your ideal street legal machine to get you and your gear to your favorite spot.

Love my Excursion. I can go anywhere comfortably, about 800 miles on a tank, in any weather, have all my gear out of the elements, and have plenty of room to lay my sleeping bag out and sleep anywhere/anytime.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

You gotta love the smell in the Subie on the way home. Smells like victory.

Dang...I thought you misspelled Big Game Hunting "Regs".

I think it kinda depends on how far you have to travel when hunting... Have a buddy with a built geo tracker that is SWEET for close to home OR if some one else is towing the trailer... IF you have to have a trailer hauler/ hunting rig i think it would be hard to bead a 4 door 3/4-1 ton truck of some nature....
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

hey pool is that a 7.3? Nice buck on the back btw.
My crew cab half ton with a canopy and bed rug liner does well for me. I can sleep in it too.
