Do y'all have a separate vehicle just for hunting? Whether it be a truck or SUV. I just upgraded, and I kept the old one, just debating if I'll ever drive it. The new one is so nice, it's no fun to drive in the old beater...

I drive the new one and just trim my roads better. Or pull the golf cart to club.

Drive the new one to the club. Use the old one before hunting season. Use electrics after season starts.

yes, there is many places I don't want to take a full size vehicle that is my daily driver, that's why I hunt from a jeep.

Every time I buy a new trucks I always say I won't treat this one like the last but that only lasts about 2-3 trips to the farm. I buy my truck to use not to look good so I have no need in a "hunting truck".

I had one reno has it now. Was it strictly a hunting truck no. I drove it around the farm like a 4wheeler spraying fences putting minerals and feeding cows , hunted out of it, daily drive it while my other 2500 was down. I drove in the woods and didn't have to worry about scratching it. I try to keep my 2500 on the road and hay fields anything else it was the little Toyota.

I have a hunting truck for a few reasons. 1, because my daily driver is a car (for gas mileage, long trips, etc..) 2, its older and has some scratches, so I dont mind putting a few more on it when I'm off road. I dont want a nice new truck going where this one would go. Not that I treat it like crap, but still. 3, i dont have alot of money in it, so I'm not going to be heartbroken if something happens to it. 4, it makes a nice backup vehicle.

Yep. I use mine to go into places I dare wouldn’t take my nice Silverado crew cab. Bigger mud tires and a little caution and I get into everywhere I need to. I hunt a lot of public land here, the roads get horrible in spots.

I have an old F150 that my dad gave back to me when he bought his new truck this year, it was the truck he bought for me in high school. It will be my hunting vehicle. I drive a car as my main vehicle.

If I had a "farm" or family land that I owned (as opposed to just a hunting lease), I'd probably have an old beater truck for miscellaneous work around the property, but most anywhere I hunt requires a 30-60 minute drive.....I don't want to make that drive in a beat up rattlecan truck that I can see the ground through the floor boards. I'd rather make that drive in my nice, quiet, fancy truck with satellite radio and heated seats, then unload the 4 wheeler when I get there and use it to get around.

I would like a "hunting truck" (or SUV preferably), out of pure laziness of not loading and unloading all my hunting crap, and more times than not, I don't unload it, and ride around with it and its all in my way.

well basically, yes - my truck is MOSTLY a "farm" truck - stays dirty all the time, used for hunting, firewood cutting, etc. my daily driver is a rice burner

I have an older truck that is used primarily for hunting or hunting related tasks. It is a regular cab Z71. It gets around the woods much easier than my 4 door F250.

Hell, this happens in just about any parking lot you park in! I use my truck like a truck, only reason to have something else for hunting out of is b/c of being quieter or harder to access locations - in that case, I would use an electric. If I owned a "farm" or a bunch of land, then yeah, I'd probably have a dedicated farm truck.

Everybody needs an old farm/hunting truck , unless you don't mind beating your "Sunday pickup" to pieces.

Now that an old Jeep cost $10k instead of the $3,500 it is really worth... there is not much sense in owning a hunting truck.

A hunting truck use to be an excuse to have an old $3,500 Jeep to ride around in. Now the Yuppies done gone and priced me out of the market! My old rust bucket is now their grocery getter.
