You're good. Carry two sets of rubbers in case one breaks. Don't let these guys scare anybody.
Good advice. No use in chancing it, no matter how much beer is involved. Kids are expensive I hear.

4wd is one of those things...you never need it, till you need it! If you're willing to let the weather dictate your plans, maybe you'll be just fine. Do you have a good weather app on your phone? I personally do not feel great not having 4-wheel-drive when hunting, though I haven't done it since I was 17. I was driving a bone-dry dirt road in a 2wd, long bed Chevy and got stuck trying to make a 3-point turn into a sandy wash. I'd feel better with 4wd, or at least a winch.

Get yourself a Wyeth-Scott "More Power Puller". It is a 3-ton, 6000#, vertical lift hand winch that will pull 12,000# equal to the slope that electric winches are rated. If you can find an anchor point it would most likely get you out of a ditch. This! We hunted a lot in 2WD. You've gotten good advice. Money spent on a Power Puller is money well spent. Add a tree saver strap, and some 5/16" cable or rope. You may get delayed but you won't stay stuck.
