Thanks! 164" (gross) archery kill.

Look at all of them!

That's twenty 30-second clips of that buck thrown together into a 10-minute video. Yep, a few other bucks in the footage as well. I had 4 years of footage of that buck before I finally got him.

About a minute before I arrowed him:

Back home again? In Indiana?

In Indiana?

Yes. I've never been fortunate enough to hunt out of state.

Wish I could find me a picture of the scene in the movie "Deer Hunter" where they strapped the buck to the hood of that '59 Cadillac. Maybe that is what the "trail sights" were really intended to be used for. ;-)

[edit]: sorry, not a hunter.......just offering up another useless post.

It’s been a long time since I’ve transported a whole animal. A large animal gets quartered for pack out, but deer size game gets quartered where it lays using a gutless method. Everything goes in ice chests in the back.
If I had to for a short distance, a hitch carrier would be my preferred method.

I was going to say exactly this. Gutless is the way to go.

Uhhh, considering all that, I'd say you're pretty fortunate!

I forgot to mention disposable red table cloths from the dollar store. they pack easy and light, making a great place to put the quarters and cape not in the dirt. They can also be used to make a help signal visible from the air. They go in my go bag and hunting bags.

I’ve put them on the back seat a few times, I can’t get it in the back of a 2 door so I guess the cargo area instead

I use the super duty (actual truck) for all hunting/ fishing endeavors, easy to hose out bed. Bronco (SUV no bed) is for trails, joyrides, camping, etc. not hauling stuff. Now you city folk know the difference and can quit calling your Bronco a truck.

Normally I channel my inner Dexter and wrap whatever up in plastic and throw it in the back. Couldn’t find my plastic the other day so I threw a small hog on the JCR brush guard. Rode 12 miles without issue

By your logic, the hybrid Ford Maverick is more of a truck than my body-on-frame Bronco with a "truck" chassis and "truck" engine

Yes but it's not just my logic, Ford has the Bronco listed under SUV's on their website and that's also what my title, registration, and insurance all classify it as.
