I have a four door truck. I have one of those three gun cases that hang across the back of front seats. I almost never have a passenger in the back so no problem.

Each pocket zips from either side. You can leave the end you want and pull a gun easy.

Extra guns are in the bed in a stack on cabinet.

I also fold down the back seats and lay long guns on the floor on extra coats or padding or in a soft case. Depends what we are hunting.

I keep it laying across the front seat with the barrel on my lap.  That way I can set my beer down and slip it right out the window and take a quick shot.  No fumbling with silly racks or having to get out of the truck that way  8)

Does the heater not work in your deal or are you just a rookie? Lower the window enough to  stick the barrel  out, secure the gun with your right thumb in trigger guard.  And you can hold a beer can in the same hand  :)

anyone can shoot after you stop but a real road hunter can hit at 10 mph.
My under the rear seat storage  makes it hard to get the gun out without stopping, dang!
Of course assuming the poster was a poacher or worse is just about as accurate.

Hitting a moving target from a moving vehicle or aircraft is harder than people think.

Practice practice

That was one of the  better posts ever made on here!

I've looked at one of those Yukon hunter.  Is it bolted to the floor or is it some how free standing?

I have a gun rack mounted on the outside of my driver's door at an angle like a saddle scabbard so I can grab it with one hand, lean back, use the door as a rest, set down my beer and hot wings and take the shot in a nice smooth motion.  Being left handed, this method works awesome!!

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Amateurs. If you're serious, you stand up through the sunroof to shoot.

I just have my 6 year old daughter hold the rifle while I'm driving and looking for game.  I learned her up right.  She's quick with the handoff when I yell for the gun.

:yeah:

Think about it, rifle in one hand, resting it on mirror or door edge, beer in the other and steering with your knee...

A perfect justification for 30 round mags!!!

 :mgun:

That might get you a distracted driving citation--wouldn't do that.
