most of you on here belong to a conservation group. every fall i wonder about my CBA,BCHA,and RMEF stickers on my truck. this is a light hearted question as i hunt nowhere near my truck,but i have buddies who wont put these stickers on theirs,claiming"unwanted attention". does anyone else worry about this?

Not just a hunting angle....Some people think I'm weird, paranoid or whatever but I don't like to advertise anything. I don't put decals for various reasons. I don't want anyone to assume that I have valuable gun's bow's optics.... I don't want anyone to know that I run or what any of my other interests may be as I feel that's too great of a pattern and the reason I think this because in reverse if I look at your truck I can guess what items you may have, that you hunt tells me a lot about your lifestyle and what you may have in your home, and the times you may be away....

My biggest pet peeve is the stick figure families, I would never advertise my family on the back of my vehicle

Honestly as an LEO, if you just lock your vehicle the chances of it being burglarized goes WAY down. You'd be surprised how many people leave their vehicles UNLOCKED and low and behold they get burglarized....weird.

And no, I don't advertise what I own...no BCM, LARUE, or PSE stickers on my truck. Keep it on the d-low.

I try to fly under the radar, I only have a 6'Bone Collector decal across my back window, Buckmark mudflaps and air freshener, Mossy oak seat covers and a Mathews decal that I only had to trim a little bit off to make it fit on my tailgate.

I prefer for people to know nothing about me or what I'm up to. In my home state of Michigan I feel that most people with tons of stickers are posers anyways. Seems that the diehards like keep to themselves. Fact I have a good body that tries to make his truck look like an eighty year old man drives it.

Im a bit in the other side of the spectrum. If I have hunting stickers im sure a burglar may think twice. And ive met a ton of people by just wearing a vortex shirt or hoyt hat. It always attracts the right kind of crowd when I go somewhere. If im rockin a hoyt shirt to my wifes employers christmas party theres a chance I wont have to talk about my wifes work.. And there will be a cool guy that says "you hunt?" Well find a secluded corner and create a man crush over campfire tales... :) ... No stickers on my truck at the moment. But that doesn't mean Im not waiting for the vinyl shop to finish a "authorized vortex optics dealer" for my back window....

And as for the stick family vinyl.. Lets get creative! Ive always wanted one with me holding a dead deer rack and a bow with my wife and daughter along side me. :)

No stickers of any kind. I'm not as simple as a slogan or a brand. I would hate for someone to think they know what kind of person I am from a bunch of stickers on the back of my vehicle.

I don't have many stickers other than the two legit companies I support. Kifaru and Hamskea

Both Colorado companies. Both great products and good people. I like to promote companies that offer great products so that others can also prosper. :)

I have a Rokslide and Kuiu sticker is all. Unless you are a hunter chances are you have no idea what they are. Even then its a relatively small group that will recognize them and say hey.

I believe if someone wants to break in your vehicle, they are going to do it regardless if it has a Matthews sticker or a Taylor Swift sticker by your stick family. Keep anything of value out of sight, and lock your doors.

Not a fan of stickers or decals on my vehicles. What really burns me is when the dealer you buy from puts there stupid decal on the back. I am not a free rolling advertisement for anyone.

In the minority have a bunch of stickers on my rig.....as I handle insurance claims as noted many thefts occur from unlocked rigs. That being said if items of any kind are in view thefts occur in any location at any time, the key is to not leaves valuables in an auto that are viewable or overnight if at all possible.

Personally no stickers on my rigs. I perfer to stay anonymous. That goes for company names too, Construction, Logging ect. I just don't care for the look. I will say this, in my area the guys with the big buck or bull skull type stickers are also the same guys who rarely fill tags. Not saying it's like that nation wide but I have noticed it in my town (obviously Ross doesn't fall into this group!). I'd be more likely to display a brand I support if I was going to put one up.

Very true, goes along with your theory of guys with big buck & bull tattoos right? Haha.
