how to transport deer after a hunt?

do you deer hunters think i can transport a deer in the trunk or a regular compact car? see i normally drive a truck but the truck may be gone soon and replaced with a regular compact car but i think since the seats can be folded down and i will be hunting close by in a local managment area close by with one day hunts i can safely transport the deer body in the back trunk with the seats folded down. what do you guys think? also i will hunt alone so packing will be light and little stuff plus im sure i can fit room with a deer body in the car. thanks guys i love my truck but its getting old and having problems running... sniff sniff trucks are my babies, live to hunt, fish, and camp, live outdoors is what represents me best.

1. yeah i throw them in the back of my saturn. just putt cardboard and a bag down
2. Apparently so since our new favorite troll tells us all the time how he carries deer out in his Honda Hybrid all of the time.
3. Tie it to the front of your hood. (No don't do that)
4. No problem, just make sure that you put enough plastic sheeting down to catch the blood, it gets in every part and smells to high heaven after a few days!
5. NO A FORD F 150 4 WD IS A MUST WITH A V-8 OK GEESEEE,,,,,,,
6. it should do just fine jus make sure you put down some plastic to make sure no blood gets on yur car
7. I can transport a deer in a Honda Hybrid. If you can't shove a deer in the trunk of a car, you will be on the cover of a hunting magazine. And I don't clean the deer. I drop it off at a Meat maket/Butcher Shop.
8. It can be done but carry a plastic drop sheet and a few old towels so that the excess blood will be adsorbed instead of running down the plastic and getting on the seats and carpet.Wish I had followed that advice when years ago I just went scouting in my wife's new car but carried a gun like I usually do on all trips during hunting season and had an Eight point get up and look at me while I shot. What would you do? I had to shoot, and then after killing him I had to get him home. But It wasn't a pretty sight when I got him home. My wife I mean. You ever see a woman on her period that was killing mad? I'm telling you, it wasn't a pretty sight.Kind of scary in fact.
