Station wagon down the logging roads and skidoo trails. So far I haven't got stuck, but I think I have lost a few bits of heat shield.
Nice.
Hunt with what you got. I used to use a Chevette.
Sorry man, no. Toyota Tacoma for me!
Jeep CJ-5 for me man!
My Dad and I took his GMC safari van on our last elk hunt. Don't let the name fool you, it's NOT meant for rough roads! But it worked.
A. Don't own one. Never will.
B. Not much good in tough conditions.
C. Might be good for duck hunting if you can stay on pavement or good gravel with big decoy bags and wet retrievers.
D. Real men don't drive minivans. LOL
WAM hit it right on the nose! I take my ford f-150. However, my dad and I did get the experience of taking his dodge neon once after we completely sank our f-350. Believe it or now, that dodge neon fits a deer in the trunk quite well.
I wouldn't have to worry about my friends razing me half as much as I would need to worry about my wife laughing and making fun of me for taking a minivan out hunting. Luckily for me my wife's dream vehicle was a 3/4 ton Dodge truck, needless to say I was happy to oblige and make her dream a reality.
Doesn't matter how you get there. I've ridden a mule, bicycle, ran and walked to go hunting. Get out there and have fun.
I have a confession to make. I drive my moms old van to go turkey hunting. When I shoot one, I put some plastic down and the bird stays fresh inside of the van. There is a former high school jock who lives in my town and he takes his mom's van out bow hunting for whitetails.
No I usualy take my ford F150, but sometimes I take my ford F250.
jeep wrangler for me. it can be hell trying to get a deer into the car though (due to the back window being unable to unzip).
I guess I would if it was all I had. I got a Ford Explorer and I take it. Guess not a lot if difference other then the 4 wheele drive though.
Like others have said, take what you can to go hunting. I've used pick-ups, SUV's, sedans, and vans for hunting transportation. I don't own a van now but did so in the late 90's. It was primarily my wife's vehicle for her and the kids. My other vehicle was a company provided sedan. On the van, I installed a receiver hitch for hauling game on a hitch platform. One time I came home with three feral pigs strapped to that rig. The front-wheel drive worked great for traction on dirt roads but I had to be careful because of the low ground clearance. With the rear seats out it also made a great camping vehicle. Don't feel bad about using a van.
My Moms 1936 Plymouth Pick-up when I was a kid.
Now my 2002 F 150 4x4. we come a long way!
