deer hunting

Wondering if anyone has used their Exp for a hunting vehicle, for deer. I've thought about putting the deer *inside* (assuming I get one this year). I don't like the idea of stinking up the uphulstery (just from the aroma, not from physical contact w/the carpeting or seats). So I'm wondering what other options might be lurking around out there? Roof rack is out, I think - just too high up to hoist a dead body

Anyone use those hitch attachments for holding coolers and things?

Thanks for your suggestions,

John

Deer Hunting

I use my expy for hunting Deer, Elk and others. I like the use of a small trailer that I can 4 wheel with. You can also carry other gear as well. If not the rack on the back is good. If you do any rough 4x4 stuff, you will drag it on the ground unless you use a hitch that will raise it some. Quarter the aminal and place it in good bags or quarter and put into ice chest's. The roof rack will hold 200 lbs.

I'll just lay tarp down in the bed of the F250 & throw it in there.
