transporting.

Nope.......illegal.......big fine.
What part of it is illegal? Him transporting his buddies deer? I'm curious now and only reason I ask is because last year I rode to a piece of public land with my buddy. I ended up shooting a buck, but had no vehicle to take it to the locker. So I called the CO to see if I could have someone else take my deer (my brother) to the locker while I continued to doe hunt. He said as long as both tags were already on the deer that I was good to go.

It's the part about the deer being on top of my suv
 
Thats what I was asking, I didn't know that one couldn't have one on top of an SUV. Didn't think there would be anything wrong since people strap them on the trunks of their cars all the time around here.

Oh, we didn't either but better safe then sorry.
 
As long as it is secured it shouldnt be a problem, Heck people carry those big ass cargo containers on top of their SUV's. Just make sure it is properly secured.
 
You can haul a deer on your roof of your SUV if you want. Not a big deal. It is not recommended to haul them on your hood since it will heat them up a bit. It is kind of nice living next to the DNR officer to ask these questions.
 
I've passed SUV's on I-80 with deer strapped to the roof. Sure, they get some looks but it seemed to work for them.

The worst was a clapped out 79 Chevy pickup with a 130" buck HEAD (yes, the head, not just the rack) strapped to the grill. And not that it would really make it less inappropriate, but there wasn't a tag on the antlers either...now that was probably illegal...some people's kids...sheesh..
 
I have done it (jeep cherokee). Even stopped at the saloon for a brew. No one said anything. I dont see how its any different than a dead deer on a flatbed...
 
It's not illegal gents......just not real classy in my opinion......I've got more respect for the animal than to strap its bloody carcass to the top of my SUV for all the world to see......as I said though, that's only my opinion.

I'm not saying I wanted to, but being 2 hours away from home I had no other way of getting it back. I didn't want to nor did I. I felt that it was pretty sad for someone to see.
 
What next top of the suv pix instead of back of the truck? Reciever racks are cheap and so are tarps.
