I hauled a deer in the very back seat of a station wagon once, had to dismember the damn thing to get it out of the car.

I killed a good sized nine point once with my brother. We loaded it in the trunk of a Datsun B210. Brother wrestled the rack around and into the trunk and closed the trunk. I knew then he would never make a deer hunter.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

All it takes for my wife to just drive one around and the damn things throw themselves at it trying to jump into it.

I hauled one about 100 miles home on the trunk of a Mazda protege once. Laid it across the trunk, legs facing towards the car. Rolled down the rear windows and tied a rope between them, then rolled the windows back up most of the way.

Hauled a bunch of deer on a cargo carrier behind a Buick park avenue with a trailer hitch.

Also tied a bunch off on the spare tire on back of a jeep, across the roof, on the front bumper, etc

Bring some rope and you will figure it out.

The fist "hunting vehicle" I can ever remember was my grandaddy's old Plymouth sedan.
Of course that thing had a trunk the size of a garbage dumpster. We hauled deer in the trunk so the dogs could have room in the back seat.

When my truck was in the shop I hauled deer in the back of my wife’s Honda Odyssey, had to put down a tarp to keep from getting blood everywhere.

I thought about at one time a car towing a tiny trailer with an ATV on it wouldn't make a terrible setup depending on the roads.

I hauled the first deer I ever killed in the back of a Ford Pinto hatchback. Just put a tarp down and was good to go.

I was thinking about having one of those big plastic storage totes to throw the deer in and then put it in the trunk. That way all of the blood should be caught by the tote and you could just wash it out.

Have you considered a hitch and a basket rack? Or are you looking for the cheapest option? I’m assuming since you’re using car you won’t be in a situation where you’d be bottoming out, so the rack would be fine. Or, install a hitch and get a small trailer.

A 2005 huyndai xg350. I had a 2003 huyndai Santa fe which was a great SUV, it had a hitch and I had a cargo hauler i put on it. But decided to sell it since it had so many miles on it. Ended up buying the Xg350 because it only had 75,000 miles on it and i was able to pay cash for it. My dad has a Nissan frontier that we use when we go to the lease together and he'll let me use it iwhen I go on my own, but Im wanting something for when I get a chance to go on my own or go hunt public land and he also needs the truck.

Im looking for the cheapest option possible because I don't plan on having this car for more than a couple of years. Its just holding me over until I have enough money saved to buy a truck or another SUV.

Guy I used to hunt with was friends with the coroner. He got a couple of old body bags and loaded deer in those in the back of a pathfinder. He got some awesome looks at the processor when he pulled a body bag out of the back

I drug a 220lb 9pt wrapped in a tarp up in the back seat of my old 2008 corolla a few years back. Should've seen the look on the guys face at the processor when I opened the back door and 151" of bone flopped out the side of the car rofl

Growing up my dad use to haul ours in a Toyota Corolla. Nothing but legs hanging out. Of course that was in the good ole days.

Pulled a few up into the hatch back of an old Red Saab. Holy hell that stunk.

I’ll be in this same situation soon. I’m selling my truck to get a small daily driver car. I’ll be following this thread so when the time comes I’ll have plenty of ideas.

Get a pack of contractor bags from the hardware store. Fold, dismember, cut up as needed to fit deer in trunk. No mess, plenty strong enough to hold an entire deer and very low cost.
