12_Guy Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 No matter how big the truck is, the tailgate will never close. Got to drive around and show off the deer. It is a pretty cool mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 It’s different. Never seen one done quite like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art From Coleman Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 One thing I haven't seen in quite a while is a "great white hunter" hauling his deer, moose, elk, gazelle, home with it strapped to the hood, having it cooked by engine heat, so it will be ready to eat once he reaches the house. But, those were the days before everyone needed a new pickup, trailer, and UTV to provide the "basic necessities' for a successful hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G. Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Interesting for sure. Just for grins and giggles, can anyone identify what make and model of truck that is / was? I myself cannot recognize it. I want to guess a Chevy S-10? But what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Englander Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Art From Coleman said: strapped to the hood Yeah, when I was a kid it was quite common to see. Woody Allen has a skit in his early stand-up that mentions the Berkowitzes going to a party dressed as a moose, getting shot and tied to the hood of a car. The punchline is they get mounted and put on display in a country club but the joke is on the country club because it's restricted?. I might have to explain that to some younger ones. Now everyone has a four door short bed PU that serves as the family car with just enough room to haul the trash out and useless for hauling anything else except the boat trailer.

hagan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 They used to come thru town here with the game strapped to the hood of the jeep. I wonder if the game wardens left them alone if they saw it. Was some checkpoints at the port of entry and they found pickups going back with a bunch of bales in the back. horses in the trailer and the center of the bales all kids of illegal game.
