I drive a 4 door sedan. No one knows what I am doing and I want to keep it that way.

Jeff Foiles had his stickers all over hig rig and he got cleaned out one night at a motel!!

it is like putting a sign up that says, "expensive gear inside" :shock:

http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news ... Aug-7-2010

Foiles estimates the loss at $27,000. Police say crooks targeted his Chevy pick-up truck while it was parked overnight Friday at the Comfort Suites on Highway 10 in Ramsey.

“Everybody knows our truck,” explained Foiles, a former World Champion goose caller. “The name is all down the side and everything.”

As do I. Put most of them on 5 to 10 years ago. Pretty sure I won't be putting them on my next rig (as cool as some are) because of what others have said above.

Back when I was into car stereos it was ALWAYS the guy who had something like KICKER the entire size of his back window that had his truck broken into.

I have two turkey tracks on my truck, thats it. Two other stickers, one saying keep your eyes open for motorcycles(i ride) and the other is a dragon decal from deals gap "the tail of the dragon"

Park in the open, leave a beer can on your hood, hang a bunch of flagging tape, etc. I used to shy away from spots like this. I think it deters serious hunters. Instead of monster buck stickers get one that says "shoot em young- they taste better" or "you can't eat horns".




That's good reverse psychology. I walk the opposite way of those who have the "if it's brown it's down" mentality. I'm not really concerned about it. The people who are willing to walk as far as i do to kill a mature whitetail are probably serious hunters and know to give you your space and vice versa. That's just what I've experienced anyway....

I don't put anything on my personal vehicles that involves hunting, guns or my line of work as I just think your inviting trouble if you do.

No stickers on my Saturn Vue.

I have stickers on my truck. Alot of them. It is all that holds the darn thing together.

Really, though. One sticker, International Association of Firefighters. But now I am considering the idea of more stickers to hold on the parts that fall off.....................

I dont need or want to advertise what I am doing or what may be in my truck.
