This picture has been floating around the internet for a few years, I have to chuckle every time I see it. Does anyone recognize the State or Provence of the license plate? Looks sort of like a Montana plate but not sure

My dad showed it to me years ago in a clipping from the Billings Gazette in Montana. 23 is Musselshell County just north of Billings.

That is called a true desire to elk hunt.

wonder if the windshield got broke trying to get it up there?

For sure! Anyone that has ever had the opportunity to harvest an elk knows, they can be a beast just to roll over. I can't see how they could have got it up there. Real hardcore though!

Don't think it's a gremlin. I thought it looked like a pacer.

Through the years I have seen similar pictures like BearTooth said, and still do. Lol Some of these people don't have trucks etc. so it is there only transportation.
I use to see a lot of people strap them to he front of their outfits going down the hwy. haven't seen as many of those lately. I seen 3 cars in the last few days that were up hunting big game in a car. Not all that uncommon to see hunters driving a small car. Lol

I think ur right. Nope.
After extensive googling it looks like a late 70's-early 80's Dodge Colt! I think?

Can you imagine the guys coming off the mountain empty handed. They roll up on this driving their $50,000 truck, pulling a $20,000 UTV, with there $1500 rifle, and $1200 scope. The disappointing look on their face would be priceless. LOL

I wish I would have a camera years ago when we seen a cow gutted on top of an old van in the U.P. of Michigan.

Saw this vehicle a couple years ago, between Idaho Falls and Jackson Hole. Looks like the same car with a new paint job, lol.

I've got this little double-pully game winch deal I bought years ago from Cabela's. I have used it more than once to hoist elk up off the ground for easier cutting/skinning, etc. It wouldn't take any more than that to pull it up off the ground, drive the car up under it as close as possible, then lower/pull it over onto the car roof. I have used it on bulls bigger than the one in the photo, at least as far as antler size. It makes skinning and quartering a heck of a lot more comfortable. I have pulled pronghorns up on windmills to dissect.......easy as pie without all the bending over stuff. Now that is even more important than it was when I was way skinnier!
