[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3046200, member: 15054"] Any vehicle is fine. I do not use a 4 wheeler.. just gut on the spot and drag it out. Or quarter it or debone it and stick in an ice chest with wheels and drag that out. I take a knife and rope with me along with my gun and ammo. Coveralls are nice if the weather is cool. Gloves are nice also. If I can't fit the stuff I need in my pockets i do not head into the woods with it. No binoculars No cent cover up no stand. If I can't see the deer with my eyes i probably can't shoot it. Cent cover that is best is to make a small fire from sticks and leaves before you head out that morning and walk around in the smoke. I actually used my pee to attract deer to a spot to shoot them. Buddy took a leak many hundred yards from where he was hunting and way past his shooting ability with any rifle. 2 hours later deer came out and sniffed his pee pee. Next morning I put it to the test, I took a leak on a trail I was hunting. i was 40 yards from my pee and 2 deer came to investigate in about 1.5 hours. Movement scares them..SO stay still and quiet.. that is the best thing to do. If you get spotted the deer can stand still and stare much longer than you can. Learn to chuck like a squirrel when you are spotted and the deer will relax and look away. No gut hook needed. You do not even need to gut one if you process the gutless method..Look up how to do that. I do cattle that way and hogs..split the hide down the back. never need to hoist them into the air. It is actually very clean that way. EDIT. If you plan on shooting 200 yards you need to plink at paper at 200 yards to make dang sure the load stays together .. never assume. If you shoot at 100 then plink paper at 100. I suggest plinking at 25 and 50 yards at paper also just to know exactly where your shot will land. many times hunting thick brush there will be a deer show up 150 yards through the brush you have an opening about the size of a slice of bread to send the bullet through and hit that deer in the vitals. If you think you can shoot at 100 yards and zero that gun and expect a certain drop or trajectory at 150 or 200 to follow book math you may get a rude surprise. Barrel whip and harmonics along with ammo temp and barrel temp make a huge difference in shot placement. I reload and shoot my loads in below freezing to 100+ temps and know where the shot will land all the way to 500 yards. Most of my deer are shot under 75 yards though. Just saying you should practice the shots you think you could take. [/QUOTE]
