On the last day of 2015, a reporter took a photo of a large buck hanging vertically on the front of a Jeep while being driven down I-10 in Texas. Some people think its a bit of a show-off strutting it down the 160 mile drive. Obnoxious or practical? Read the rest of the story from Hunter Bobby Wuest (70 yrs old) here.
Looks like he built some kind of hoist that uses the winch to hang it up to field dress it.
Who gives a shitte what he does. A very bad American habit to insert oneself into somebody else’s business. What even gives a person the right to do that? I guess I will never understand.
He should have hung a badly crumpled “Deer Crossing” sign on his trophy buck.
Having fuzzy dice hanging from your mirror is illegal here. I can’t imagine this could be legal.
It is creative, however.
I-10 in Texas is a lot longer than 160 miles.
From the article that apparently few commenters are clicking on . . .
Hunter Bobby Wuest is 70 years old and said he had a tough time trying to lift 200 pounds of dead weight - and that’s how much he said this gutted buck weighed. So he used a rig that he and a friend created, which uses a vertical stand, pulleys, and the electric winch on the front of his Jeep.
“I’m very active, but picking up a 200-pound buck is pretty hard,’ Wuest said. ‘He and I came up with this idea; it’s . . . basically an electric winch hooked up to the battery. It has pulleys on top, so I can pull up to 2,500 pounds.”

*************
I don’t believe they were saying he was driving the length of IH-10 in Texas,
but rather the length of his drive home was some 160 miles.
Most people put them on the back end and it is a huge view obstruction hanging like that blocks a lot of the road from his sight.
Very clever.
LOL, thread winner.
880 miles to be exact.
