Is a 4x4 truck, jeep or 4x4 SUV a must for Ok deer hunting?

I have deboned deer in the field and just took an ice chest with wheels into the field and brought the deer out in the icechest.
Rules stated head attached to carcass and genitals attached.
I would leave the head and hide and weiner attached together No bones

This reminds me of the OLD thread 2wd vs 4wd! That was epic! Off-road is life! Just saying.

Yet not one person in that thread ever took me up on my challenge to come to Grant County in their awesome 2WD and follow me around for one mile.
Even offered free beer after the tow!

I alway just drove up next to the deer on the ground and then put it in the back of the 2wd truck. This was in wester Oklahoma. If it was a rainy /muddy mess, I’d just carry it out.

I could never talk my wife into believing I needed a 6x6

The three-axle military trucks often have a part-time live front axle, hence 6x6. Military vehicles often have to travel off road over adverse terrain and sometimes in nasty weather. Most if not all of them need all wheels and/or tracks to be powered. I've been in a reserve unit where they had some 1970's 2WD Dodge pickups used in the field. Any army truck bigger and heavier than a pickup is always going to have all its wheels on the ground driven, at least part of the time. Most newer army pickups are 4x4. Swamp buggies have been used in hunting too.
