How the heck did they get that up there?? Wonder if I can get a moose on top of my Kia....

GIT'ER DONE!!!! You won't see that in Sports Afield!

This is why I absolutely love living here.

LOL

Cool when you need it done you just do it. After buying my first pickup for hunting I decided I wouldn't be with out one again.

NICE.

That has to be one of the best photos I have ever seen. It was in the Billings Gazzette and was taken near Billings. I would bet they are headed back to the rez!

And hopefully they drove past all the guys in their $40,000 trucks hauling trailers full of ORV's.

One of my favorite hunting rigs when I was a teen was a Ford Pinto wagon.

I would like to buy them a beer!

The whole story was over on 24hour. Sorry there fella it wasn't any Indians that shot it. It was some lady and it was her first elk.

Well she did damn good! I would love to hear the story, from her.

That's even better, it even looks like a chick car.

Any chick who can put that Elk on the top of that car is more Woman than I want.

Toyota Camary Wagon for me. We had dead bears and every kind of waterfowl piled in that thing. Crossed the runoff from a beaver pond once in it and the water came up in the doors. gotta love those memories.

Here is the story.

I like the ride to the Butcher Shop with a nice bull in the bed of the truck. Truly one of those "Miller Time" deals. The hunt is over, the hard work is done and it's time to savor your success.

Can't believe people "flipped her off". Most folks out here give You a thumbs UP when they see a nice bull in the pickup bed.

FN in MT

That's too funny. Saw some guys do that once and it actually caved in the roof of the car. They were laughing about it until they got home it was his wifes car.

Nice Elk to boot.

Hey Mickey, Thanks for sharing the flicks.

Any of you all have an idea what that is sticking up just to her right "inside the car"?

Great story! Good for her!

Maybe a Montana custom like this one would make a better game hauler.
I saw this beauty in Superior this summer and knew a photo would come in handy.

That's funny...thanks!

I would just like to know how they got the thing up there!

how they got the thing up there!

From the article,

"Potter's friend, Garth Bascom, a foreman at the ranch, loaded the five-point bull atop the car using a front-end loader, she said. The group laid two 2x6 planks across the length of the roof to keep it from caving in, placing the elk on top of the boards."

When I was in highschool I used a VW "Baja" bug. It had a fabric sliding sunroof. A buddy once shot a buck that scored, if memory serves, just two points short of making book. It was so big we had to open the roof and stick the head and antlers out, the body filled the back seat, and the front legs stuck forward into the windshield. We drove that buck all over town and showed it to everyone, which wasn't too hard in a town of 600. It was amazing the places that little car could go.

Made my day!

Like ElCaballero said thats a work with what ya' got and get her done attitude...!

Cheers to the lady hunter!!!
