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.....

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.

What vehicle is this for? 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. 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.
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

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.

Jesus H Christ!!!! Garbage bags????!!... Really???? Honestly I can't believe we're even debating this topic. You strap the damn deer to the hood or the roof, if it won't fit into the trunk. No bags, no tarp, no nothing. Just throw it up there and tie it on.

I hauled one about 3 1/2 hours back home on the spoiler of my Nissan 240 back when I was a teenager.
Helped a buddy get one out of the woods one time and hauled it on about a 20 minute ride back to his house with it just thrown across the hood of an old Nissan Maxima. We both rolled our windows down.....he held the front legs on his side and I held the back legs on the passenger side..

My uncle back in the day. He said he'd rather have a front wheel drive car than a truck He's an idiot. But given only the choice between a front wheel drive car and a rear wheel drive car, I would take the front.

My dad has a great photo of he and his brother with a nice 8 on the trunk of Dad’s ‘66 Mustang. He bought it with his combat pay when he got back from Nam. I once hauled one in the back of my Ford Bronco. The blood got in the carpet and the truck smelled like Death and Sickness for a time. I’d planned to do my hauling on the spare tire but the buck weighed 205 and I was all alone when I shot it. It was all I could do to get it in the back of the Bronco. That was the foolishness of youth. I’d take a big backpack or a cooler nowadays.

I hauled quite a few in that car ..Good times!

We put a hutch on my grandmother Ford fusion and hauled deer out of the woods in a backet mounted in the hitch. Worked like a champ and saved a ton of gas.

Hauled a bunch of them in the trunk of a cutlass when I was younger. Just throw a big piece of plastic down to keep the blood out of the carpet.

Thanks for giving me the chance to reminisce. I hauled two bucks at once in the back of a 1991 Ford Probe, a buck in a 1989 Honda CRX (and a tripod stand once too). When I was stationed in Germany I hauled hogs, roe deer, red deer, mouflon, and fallow deer in the trunk of a 2005 Ford Focus. Last example was hauling my nephew's first deer, a spike buck in the back of my Mom's 2003 Sentra. Apparently, some blood leaked down into the spare tire compartment and I didn't know about it until she hopped in the car one day and the stench parted her hair. LoL. Let's just say, I had some making up to do. Lastly, one of my favorite pics is of my Dad holding a 145" 12pt in the truck of his 1972 Duster. I've always said rednecks are some of the most motivated folks on the face of the earth...when it comes to hunting/fishing, we don't need a $75,000 truck on 35"s to make it happen.

My 76 Plymouth Volare station wagon hauled a bunch of gutted deer. Shortly after that I just started quartering everything. So much easier, and you can haul 2 quartered deer in the trunk of a dodge Lancer.

We all know how you say you only drive 20 year old 400,000 mile vehicles around, so what do you know about todays vehicles? There was plenty of boats back then that easily hauled deer in the trunk. In reality, cars with trunks are going to the wayside and replaced with suv's. And yer givin too much credit to the small deer which make the majority in this area.

In college my 79 Toyota Celica Coupe hauled a few in it's time. When I got out and joined the working world one of my first big purchases was a pickup. Man I wish I had the Celica still. I am not a mechanic by any means, but anytime it had a problem, it was put together simply enough that along with my rudimentary mechanical knowledge, I could fix it myself. It helped though that if I screwed it up, I had a father, and a few uncles that could fix pretty much anything. That always gave me the confidence to try. You have no idea how many times I wished any of them, especially my father, were around to help me or just walk me through something or how many times I beat myself up for not paying attention and learning just some of what they could do, like welding for example. It certainly must skip a generation because none of that interested me when I was young but my son seems to have inherited some of the natural fix-it aptitude that I didn't get.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I have a truck, but sometimes I hunt during the week and I drive my Dodge caliber to work with all my gear crammed in there. Mind you it's a hatchback but I use a old painters tarp and plastic and have hailed a few deer in it.
May not have killed anything, but always a good time
