I’m curious how guys with long drives home strap your horns for the ride? Would love to see some photos! If you stop for one night on a two day journey, what do you do with them overnight? Also curious to guys who have camper shells on their trucks how that works…

Not a great picture, and I’ll have to see if I have any others on my computer. However, to answer your questions, we had one overnight on the way home and we brought my elk horns and coolers of meat in the hotel room with us. The skull plate rack was tucked/wedged in between a couple coolers and gear bags in the back of my pickup.

A few over the years. When I stay on the road heading home, the antlers go in the hotel room bathtub. The meat coolers are usually in a lockable area in a vehicle, or strapped down. Never had an issue with coolers. I back into a parking space under a light.

Prefer to keep them inside but the roof is second best. Always take them inside of your motel at night or in the cab of the truck. So many antlers stolen this year, crackheads have zero conscience and a mature bull is worth a couple hundred dollars to a horn buyer.

I ate tag soup this year, but had to follow a prick in a raptor on way home with a big 5 point stood up in the bed thru 1 lane construction for miles on the intersate. Lol
