Think about the days when there were no trucks or kias.  You done good and have a boat load of fun memories!!  Plus a bunch of good eats and your kids are hooked for life!  Doesn’t get much better!  Thanks for sharing!

On a hunt many years ago we killed two rutty bulls in 3 days. We used my truck to transport both to the cooler. It was early and hot and there were 5 sweaty dudes and two dead elk in and out of that truck over 4 days.

Every time that truck got hot you could still smell elk, as long as I owned it.

 

I definitely don't want to derail this thread but i need to pile on here as this kia saga will be a classic.

So about 5 years ago on a youth cow hunt we came across this dude and about 6 kids(about 6yrs old to 14) out in the middle of 22n miles from their VAN.  One of thekids had shot his cow and they proceeded to process it.  ALL OF THEM.   They had pillow cases that they were filling woth scraps of meat like they were trick-or-treating.

So we role up on this side show with them all just standing on the side of this trail with bloody bags slung over their shoulders. Not one of them in camo...

yes...we started hearing banjos about right then.

So against my better judgment I stopped amd asked if they were good or needed help. I assumed they were waiting for a ride.

Turns out that "ride" was me.

So my crew emptied our stuff out and i took these kids, their bags of meat scraps and the dad 2 miles to their van 3 at a time. The kids had never been in a sxs so it was  pretty cool for them (not sure they had ever been out of the house....).

I am certain i drove too fast and hard as when we were all done there were bits of loose meat all over the buggy. We didn't actually discover this until later though. We continued discovering thisfor YEARS. I don't think we have found it all.

Even now when the buggy gets hot it smells like jerky.

and now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

That KIA will NEVER be right....lol

so awesome
