Not a hunting rig?
« on: December 06, 2010, 07:39:36 PM »
I was tellin my girlfriend about this and it got me a little mad so now i'm gonna vent to you guys. I believe it was the day after opening day of modern deer this year which was oct17th. Our hunting party of 4 were heading to a area to drop off a vehicle acouple miles away from where we would be starting...time was about 0615. We were almost to where we were going to drop the truck off when we ran into a older white porshe 944 sitting in the middle of the busted up gravel road. A hunter in orange was out of the car and stopped us. I rolled down my window and asked him what was the problem. He said something about "wheel disconnect" i hadn't looked at the car much but my brother noticed the wheel was totally broke off of the rotor. He then asked if he and his partner.... who was sitting in the porshe could get a ride down to where his hunting buddies were. The truck was full and would have been crammed with the two guys and 3 of us. 2 of our guys hopped out and went to my buddies truck that was following us and the 2 hitchhikers hopped in. I kind of gave them a bad time about bringing that kind of ride to the area, they were pretty much asking for trouble he made some excuse like his truck was in the shop. So graciously my dad took them to there hunting area which was about another 3 miles down this road...we were probaly the only other vehicle that went down the road this morning so if they wouldn't off caught us they would have been screwed...they didn't bother to say thanks or offer any cash. It wasnt the way i like to start off my morning hunting. It through us off by about a half hour. They could have walked to there camp easy enough. Just pissed me off!!!!

The road they were on is pretty beatin and never taken car of. Although i have taken my 95 camaro down the same road at over 60mph  on many occasion i can't say many cars would make it. The car ended up sitting there almost tilll the last day of the season before they were able to move it.
Ruger brought back the .220, i just shoot it.

My 2000 Kia Sephia goes everywhere.  Road Maintenance?...Is that where my mirrors nock down all the alder saplings as I bomb down the roads.
My only regret is that people think my car is purple when in fact it is blue...its just my afterwork hunting rig though.  When I want to get serious I jump in my 4x4 Forr..uhhh...Chevvv....uhh...ok I admit it I drive a Nissan Titan.  I would have liked to buy american, but I can't afford a chevy and don't get me started on Fords.

I see quite a few small cars go way up in on the forest roads.  Saw a convertible Audi at trail once.  It kind of stood out in a parking lot full of Subaru Outbacks.

My first hunting rig in high school was a 1959 Ford Edsel 4-door with a broken gas gauge, broken wipers ( used a clothes hanger out the window) and NO Reverse.   I'd have to always look for turnarounds with a bank on the side of the road you could drive up and coast back to turn around on.  Only had to shoot off one locked gate because we couldn't turn-around at it.  Great fun.  Never hunted alone with it and carried a backup can of gas in the trunk ( safe !) .  It was a one-season rig though - go figure  :chuckle: :chuckle:

My first hunting rig was a sting-ray bicycle, damm I'm getting old.

Last year for early archery elk season up in the 336 unit We were driving up the road and came up on a small blue Geo metro.  :chuckle: Had 2 guys in it. They were at least 300+ each shoulder to shoulder. They both barley fit into the car.  Had there bows in the back of the car. It was the funniest this I ever saw. Dont know if the car could have lasted up there for to long.  :chuckle:
