I've successfully hunted antelope with a Honda CR-X and deer with a Toyota Corolla lift back but a Subaru for elk?
Ground clearance and weight capacity.... buy a truck.
My little Tacoma has done well with two elk and my hunting partner with all our gear, in late season snow!


"Camping places fix themselves in your mind as if you had spent long periods of your life in them.
You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."
