A bow, 6 arrows, and a pair of pants... Im in!

6 arrows?

Don't stop shooting till they stop moving... Learned that lesson well.
If thats too much stuff, I can leave the pants at home, that was mainly for everyone else anyway..

All kidding aside, If you only take the stuff you need, I think your fine.

I like the thinking. Always surprised what we take on a traveling hunt, most isn't needed, minimalizism.

A option we have used in the past, is shipping gear to a destination using UPS, they have pickup/dropoff location almost everywhere, each guy ships his own stuff. Saves a bunch of room.

Add the hitch attachment for another $150.... You can pack a ton on those!

So who wants to see a full loaded ford escape with 18 guns or so in it, tons of coolers, tables, duffel bags, bow cases, and all the other essentials. You know its bad when you can't stop and buy a soda because you can't spare the room, and I am NOT kidding! The rear passengers couldn't see each other!

ok here is last years trip pack job, if you want I can show you pictures of what happens when you take a half ton chevy with a crappy fiberglass topper on it not fit for scrap and it blows off in the prairie in Wyoming and you have to find a way to get your stuff back to WI (the stuff was crammed to the roof of the topper going out ) afterwards with even more stuff to bring back then you took out.

the packjob going out:












And home after the return trip, note the straps on the roof carrior, they were there for a reason!



(The inside was even more crowded then originally)

Great Pics Brad, now that is packing.

Tadmad that is a good idea to ship stuff, I have done that a time or two on out of state jobs. Dor you could ship some gear back and haul the meat home, or

Another idea hit me today, you could tow a little fishing boat if someone in your party has one, that would give a lot of extra room for coolers and such

Good input guys!

Brad- that is classic man! LOL

Uhaul for 450$/3 guys is plan B.

An extra $100 will buy you a trailer, keep it or sell it later on.

Would need to be enclosed, since we might not see it for 2 weeks. Hate to leave a generator and freezer out in the open for thieves and weather.

I dont know Dor, 2 of us on a 2 state gun/bow hunt for 10 days fils a minivan. Its a long trip, no way I would be stuffing myself into a vehicle like Brad. Id drive seperate before I went thru that. Maybe you guys should just take 2 vehicles?

Some folks MAY overpack........
