Maybe it was electric. Who in the hell takes a dam car in a place like that. That’s nothing. I’ve taken the wife’s car through a lot worse than that. lol.

The question I have not seen addressed is who in the cornbread hell would think taking that car into a WMA was a good idea on any level? As my momma used to say “ son if you’re gonna be stupid you better be strong”. I hope there were a lot of beers involved because I can’t imagine anyone making that decision sober lol I did the same thing in my son’s dodge avenger. Took that car deep in to some wma’s! I need the gas mileage more than the truck when I left the state!

This ☝️, we do the best we can with what we got . In a time where everyone thinks they have to have the latest and greatest goals can be met and enjoyment had making the most of things .

I remember many moons ago taking a 76 ford courier 2wd into places at skyline wma that amazed alit of folks. I would take off there by myself no cell phones back then and can’t remember if we even had a house phone at the time. I would build up a head of steam and glide over some bad spots. Young and stupid. Now I’d turn around just seeing those spots

As my momma used to say “ son if you’re gonna be stupid you better be strong”. I hope there were a lot of beers involved because I can’t imagine anyone making that decision sober lol There's a lot of places you can get to in a car. They also improved a lot of the roads and with the drought things have been dry. The real reason I got stuck is the FWD lost grip on the incline past the muddy spot. I had been through that spot twice with no issue. I had to back down the incline to find a place to turn around and I got the front end stuck on the center because, well I was going in reverse in the dark. Lesson learned. If I see too much water and mud I don't chance it. My enemy has just been inclines. Once that weight shifts back there is just no grip going up a hill.

Figured I would back out, turn around and go ass first up the hill. . In your honor, from now on when I go up a hill, I'm gonna yell, GO ASS FIRST. Hmmm…..🤔 Shaddup.

Glad you got out ok, and good to see folks hunting with whatever vehicle they have. I hauled several deer in the trunk of a 65 Impala. I don't remember ever getting it stuck, but that was probably just luck.

We definitely need Gomers pic to compare. It’s like bigfoot, people say they have proof,but.... I ain’t ashamed… ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/sgvor8V.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/OiVhzQl.jpg) Been stuck many times and seen a lot of folks stuck. But I’ve never seen a truck that’s “stuck” without mud all over the sides, windows, and top of truck. That ain’t stuck. That’s I didn’t wanna get it muddy and hammer down on it and see if I can get out. There’s no way you tried to get outta that. There’s barely any mud on the truck whatsoever

Hell I got stuck in a bone dry cuttover a couple weeks ago before we got all that rain. Called a buddy to bring me my tractor jack out of my shop because I was stuck. They thought I was joking till 3 buddies showed up. Fresh cutover and I was gonna back down the hill to turn around (Yes Ass First) and didnt see the stump. It was just high enough on the slope that I hung my rear chunk and one tire came off the ground. The other rear tire was spinning in deep sand. I thought I could just lock in 4x4 and let the front wheels pull it off but the nose just kept sliding down the hill. It got to the point I was about to rip the strut off the rear axle to I had to call in for a tractor jack to pick the rear up and drive it off the jack. 1st time being stuck on a hill during a drought.
Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

The dry weather certainly gave me a lot more confidence than I should have had. I hope to never be in that situation again, but I just ordered a 30-foot strap and a 4-ton come-along to keep in the truck. I think half of Aldeer has my number now. I might not have 4x4 to pull you out, but I'll do what I can if anyone gets stuck in these parts. It's a crappy feeling being stuck
