Just curious what everyone else uses to get to their favorite hunting spots . . . and why they like it.

I'll start it off with mine. Things don't get too tough around south Arkansas very often, so I can get by with my 2 wheel drive 95 Grand Cherokee Laredo. I can get my Ace 250, shovels, pinpointer, GPS, etc. all in the back seat, leaving room for my 12 year old daughter/hunting partner up front:

Nice looking rig. Gotta love them Jeeps. Had a 1985 Cherokee Pioneer (4 cyl, 4 door, 4WD) for several years until the second tranny went out. Was an AMC version with an AMC Pacer motor.

It's not just the fender, it goes the length of the truck! It's my ex's story, but lets just say he can't believe he's still alive after kissing that semi!!
It's good cuz it'll go almost anywhere, but it's to wide to fit into some tight squeezes. I like the f150 for most places, but now it is just our farm truck & I can't take it out on the road. so I have to use the beast & watch the trees closer. I love taking the old abandoned roads, & trucks are the only way to go. Now that I don't have to worry 'bout scratchin it it's a lot more fun!!

Sorry no pics. But for short local trips (50 mile) an Opel Zafira 2.0 DTI, for longer trips and when overnighting a MB SPrinter 113 CDI MWB HR (Got a bed and 240 volt electrics with microwave in there), and if there´s rough ground at the site I´ll hook up my trailer to either with my 4wd 650cc Quad on it for when I get there.
So, I have all the angles covered LOL

Dang, Bob. You're DRIVING a treasure. :thumbsup: I spotted a small window Bug in a local back yard in my hometown, but haven't tracked down the owner, yet.

I live close enough to most of my good hunting sites that I can get by "driving" my Wal-Mart brogans. ;D
