My uncle has an old picture of a deer strapped to the fender of his 63 Corvette split window. 
Won't see that these days.

I don't know what all the fuss is. We see that all the time in Idaho.
Actually last fall I followed a guy down the freeway with a spike strapped to the roof of his Wagoneer. I saw him several hours later in town with it still there, and still had the hide on (it was fairly warm out). I was thinking if it was me, I'd have had the hide off, and the wifeee pointed out that people might be more put off by a skinned carcass on the roof. I just figured the guy was showing off...

That used to be part of the ritual return home from a Wisconsin deer hunt that I enjoyed as a kid. It was always interesting to see the trophies straped on front bumpers, across the back, or periodically on a top rack.

...and a woman driving the car. Possibly the guy in the passenger seat is a guide? Husband lost his license due to too many DUIs? Had to show the old man how it's done? Maybe we should do a poll...?

Recall seeing something similar when I first moved to Boise. A Jeep Cherokee parked outside a Super-8 Motel with a nice sized bull elk on top. Couldn't imagine how they managed to get it on the rooftop. Was kinda disturbing however, since it was fairly warm outside and the rig sat there late into the morning. No telling where they were headed, but wondered if the meat spoiled before they got home.

Bonnie Potter was "tickled to death" when she saw two pictures of her bull elk, tied awkwardly across the top of a small Dodge Colt, printed in The Billings Gazette's Outdoors section last Thursday.
"It was so cool," she said. "It was my first bull, and I wanted to bring it home whole to show my daughter. You wouldn't believe how many people took pictures. So many people were smiling, and others were flipping us off, too."
The photos were sent across the country via e-mail to friends and family, a copy of which ended up in the Gazette newsroom. The Gazette's caption on the photos asked for more information on who the photographer was and if anyone knew the occupants of the car.
Joe Hughes, an engineer at Micron in Boise and former Montanan, called in to take credit for the photo. He snapped it on Oct. 30 on his way back from hunting with his father and brother near Winifred.
"My sister gets the Gazette and she called me up and said, 'Hey, your picture is in the Gazette,'" Hughes said.
"It was pretty interesting," he said of seeing the big bull motoring down the highway atop the tiny car.
Potter, of Roundup, said her truck was in the shop the weekend she went hunting, so she and her boyfriend had to make due with the small Dodge. It was her first big bull, taken on a private ranch north of Roy in hunting district 417.
Potter's friend, Garth Bascom, a foreman at the ranch, loaded the five-point bull atop the car using a front-end loader, she said. The group laid two 2x6 planks across the length of the roof to keep it from caving in, placing the elk on top of the boards.
"It was sagging but the boards held," she said. "I sure as heck wasn't going to sit inside there when they loaded it."
With all the weight, Potter said the car was topping out at about 45 mph on the ride home. "The back wheels were hitting the fenders on almost any bump," she added.
She's already purchased a new freezer to hold all the meat. Gotta luv us Montana folks. Potter
