I don’t cover nothing I trap or shoot. It could provide some entertainment though if a person threw an old manican in the bed with some boots on it and covered it all but the boots with a tarp. Leave the tail gate down.

Don't remember how many I killed but..., it was a good trip. I had em all stacked on top and tied down for the 400 mile trip home on the roof top.
Cruising down I_94, I got alot of honks by those passing me. 9 outta 10 were a thumbs up, other 10% were a middle finger. Lol.


LOL! grin

When I was 15 years old I shot my first buck. It was a 115” 5x4 (9 point) and me and my Dad were pretty excited!
My Dad was so happy that he wanted to put the buck on the roof of the van and go to town for breakfast.

I was nervous about the attention we were going to get, but no way am I telling my Dad no lol.

When we pulled up to the restaurant I could see the trucks and vehicles from other hunters and I was not liking the attention this buck on the roof was drawing!

Of course when we got inside there was a kid that I went to school with there with his Dad. Was a friend of mine for a bunch of years too.
He asks me where I shot it and all that stuff. Ended up going to school and telling everyone I poached it. What a fat loser that guy was.

Anyways, this thread reminded me of that.

Wow. Things like this is why I have a very low opinion about the average American. What a despicable thing to do

I feel that it is my civic duty to desensitize the general public by not hiding what I do. For the ones which are too far gone to reach, I secretly enjoy that it irritates them.
