[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5269006, member: 2805"] Just a little tip for all you guys... deer don't spook off vehicles as long as they don't smell you or see you move. Yes, they will stop and look at the vehicle, which is exactly what I want when hunting powerlines or pipelines down here. Otherwise, they just cross before you can even tell if it's a shooter or not. PLUS you get 4 or 5 ft elevation over the vegetation, and with a bipod and rear bag on the cab of the truck, you have a solid rest to shoot a LONG way. And even better, on my lease noone else knows this trick, so they hunt from stands and shooting houses... so I hunt crossing areas away from established stands the deer have learned to avoid. I hunted from the back of my truck this morn and saw 5 bucks and 3 does. One small buck came right down the pipeline to me before veering off at 50y without spooking. Another buck came out and fed on a plot 150y away for 15 minutes with only an occasional glance back up at my truck. One of these days I'm going to build a tower that fits in the bed of my truck to get me up 10ft over ground level to see over the overgrown powerlines. [/QUOTE]
