Best way to load deer in a 1st Gen Rx-7

Cosmic bang asked a question in the closed "gun thread" that I believe was serious and definitely 1st gen related: What is the best way to load a deer in a 1st gen Rx-7 ?

I do not claim to be an authority on loading deer in an Rx-7, but the following are some of my thoughts on what I would do if the opportunity ever presented itself:

Large deer ? ( mostly intact except for thing-that-shoots-bullets hole or vehicle impact )
If the outside of your 1st gen is ****, then just twine his *** from bumper to bumper. If someone is with you, let them take digital camera or camcorder pics of other peoples reaction. If reaction isn't entertaining enough, put a cigar in his mouth or write "humpin to please" across his sides.

Spotted Fawn ? ( intact with dried milk on his mouth from his last ( first ?) meal )
For God's sake put it in a hefty bag and put it in the hatch. Tell nobody. Just don't let it come into contact with the nasty *** water in the spare tire well of your 1st gen. That could cause the meat to taste like butt.

If you have an SA, don't pull the twine too tight. The little baby buggy bumper thingy's might fall off.

Do not marinade in MMO, even if it's all you have.

Bon Appetite !

I would have to say the best way would be the tried and true way:

quarter the bastard up, wrap him in game bags and put in the back hatch. Put the head (securly wrapped to prevent blood sepage) in pasanger seat seatbelted in and the works.

this is some good info. The guy I sold my 83 to call two nights ago. He had been Redneck deer hunting. The deer got the headlight, hood and driver fender. But he did not have room to bring it home.

I've got a great photo at work I found for a trauma surgeon giving a lecture on MVCs w/ a deer that on impact crashed through the windshield of a pickup impaling the driver.
I'd use my bike rack.

Oh No.

Inside is no good. There is risk of seepage causing damage to the carpets and upholstery. Outside, the antlers and hooves might scratch the paint, and the weight of a legal-sized deer could cause the roof or hood to dent. Upon reflection, snapshot has a good idea, assuming the bike racks are Thule bar mounts.

It could be strapped directly to the bars, but better yet inside a Thule box. The box has some advantages:
1. Does not restrict the hood from opening.
2. Keeps road spray off the carcass.
3. Prevents bodily fluids from draining onto the paint (be sure to plug any extra holes in the bottom).
4. It can be locked to prevent unauthorised venison removal.
5. The better aerodynamics will allow a higher speed run to the check station.
6. It is easily hosed out before the next ski trip.

Or you could just not hit/shoot any deer.

It's worked for me in the past five years.

Nothing beats roasting a chunk of fresh venison over the headers.

Good one Dave! MVC (formerly MVA) = "Motor Vehicle Crash (Accident)" So were you thinking a monster deer or truck?

Lay the bugger on the roof, belly down, head and antlers draped down across the center of the windshield. Point all legs towards the respective 4 wheels.
Secure the front legs somewhere under the front bumper corners, rear ones under the back. Use a ratchet strap wrapped around the mid section twice and tighten off under the window drain channel.

Decorate the sides of the buck with neon 'underlights', slap a NOS sticker on his *** and power down the road.

Problem with that, Tom, is that the blood will fill the drain tubes, coagulate, and block them.
Then you'll end up with rust.
Strapped to the hood, over to the P side as much as possible is the only way I see it.

The size of the ungulate Tom describes sounds more like an elk.
On the hood, the deer might get prematurely cooked by the heat, and the antlers could scratch your paint.

No, I was thinking correctly, just using the opportunity to play with the letters and apply it to the thread subject.

Messy Venisian Carcass didn't work as well.

Dave is the ****** that tended to the bleedin' chipmunks. He is also the nice guy who lives next door to everyone and loans his tools and says "Oh, just bring them back whenever you get a chance."

The only way to get it done:



Not a deer or a first gen, but it gets the point across.

No, no, no - you should know better than that, Sterling. You don't want any of that carcass over the engine bay. Heat + carcass = BAD. You want to keep the carcass cool and dry. That's why you spread eagle the beast, belly down. You keep the fur side 'up' in case of rain, the legs open to encourage at least 'some' air circulation.

Oh and the blood will wash out with cold water when your done, sheesh..

I'm going to have to ask you to turn in your Sr. Yahoo badge and attend remedial redneck training.
