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.

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!
