Just an informal offseason curiosity poll....
How many of you have bowhunting/brand stickers on your rig that ID you as a bowhunter?
If so, why? How do you choose the brands you are repping and what are your motivations for doing so?
No stickers for me...I guess I just don't get it. Furthermore, I have a bike rack, so everybody that drives by my parking spots probably thinks I am one of the crunchies and keeps moving along. But I sure do see a lot of trucks around here with big old huntin' stickers...Mathews seems to be the most common. If you have a Mathhews sticker and you pass another dude on the highway with a Mathews sticker, do you like wink at each other or something? I mean, I like my bow and my treestand a lot but certainly not enough to obstruct the view out my back window, not unless they are going to pay me to do so anyway. Not judging as much as this may seem like I am, I am live and let live, but it makes me curious. So what say all yinz?

None at all on my truck, but if I buy something and it comes with a sticker I'll slap it on a cooler or bow case.

Nope...their was a local news article that indicated that is an just an encouragement for someone to break into your vehicle thinking there may be high dollar items inside. That is exactly what I have always thought...no need to give anyone some motivation.

I met a guy a few years back, he was hunting some public ground adjacent to a farm I hunt in Wisconsin. New ford with a complete camp wrap job. He was hunting for his first deer, it was his first year hunting. It was pretty obvious that his image was the most important thing. Lol No stickers on my truck...I'd have to wash it to apply them.

I have a Pope and Young sticker on my back window. No one bothers me, they all know there's no electronic gadgetry, firearms, or any other thing of value in my truck except for wooden arrows, some sinew and a fiddle or maybe a banjo depending on where I'm at.

I've just got the one about 3"x5" Kuiu sticker. It's a tasteful one. I really like their gear, and I've always meant to put my Pope & Young sticker on, but now my membership has lapsed so I don't want to be "that guy." Kuiu threw the sticker in in one of my orders, and I sure as heck don't agree with paying to advertise for someone. A couple vehicles back I had a Matthews sticker as I shot a Switchback for like 10 years. I switched vehicles and wanted one bowhunting related sticker so I wrote them an email and asked them to send me a sticker. They said they normally cost ____ but they sent me one anyways. Nice of them I thought.
I always enjoy recognizing other people as hunters. In Canada we don't have as many, so it's always nice to be able to spot a "brutha" out there ;)
The guys that have 14 stickers kind of remind me of the type that will sell their soul to be called Prostaff, but could just be my perception. I prob shouldn't judge :) They prob see my one sticker and think I'm high and mighty lol.

Predator camo logo from me; i love their gear and family works for them so i have no shame in "promoting" the brand. I also think its a very cool logo. For truck decals i find that there is a fine line between looking sharp and looking tacky. When i run across one with every sticker on the back window that came with every gear item they purchased; i cringe a little.

I have a Ruger, Friends of coal, MagPul, and Kifaru sticker in the back glass of my truck. All are small and all are things I feel strongly about representing. Top shelf American companies and organizations. I get asked about the Kifaru pretty regularly because few here know what it is. Even Hunters. God Bless

No stickers on vehicles. When traveling in today's world, I'm not looking for trouble and also trying to avoid trouble starting, especially when I'm by myself.
I wear golf clothing when I travel on trips. My bow case camoed as a musical instrument stickers hoping "airline luggage gorillas" and "hunter haters" might not try to destroy my case because of its contents.

I have hunting stickers on my truck including Michigan Bear Hunters Association..... to stick it in the liberal anti hunters faces. I love it when those Janet Reno looking types pull up next to me and give me the evil eye.....

Nothing for me. Actually literally nothing for me since I just sold my SUV. Looking for a truck again. One things for sure...I'll never advertise what could be inside!
Sorta related, I had an extra number sticker for my chest protector used racing motocross. I put it on my back window. Took me a while to figure out why people would give me the thumbs up and assume I was an Dale Jarrett fan. Based on the way they were dressed and the quality of their mullets, I'm assuming the guy races cars in a circle or something! I took the sticker off.

No way; not in Cali. That'd just be asking for my truck to get vandalized. And at my best spot in San Diego, it'd give away the access to the impossible-to-get-to spot I found if another hunter drove by.

United Sates Sportsman's Association (USSA)- the main group fighting for all hunter and fisherman's rights.
USSA acronym, logo doesn't offend anyone as its not easy to spot like: PETA, PeTA (one anti-hunting the other is not), Humane Society (local ) or Humane Society of United States (HSUS).....(one actually cares for animals and shelters the other is more concerned about anti-hunting,exterminating pets, runs no shelters...)

I "heart" Bowhunting, NRA decal, and a sticker of a whitetail buck with his leg cocked up, peeing on PETA. I disapprove of the more vulgar stickers I've seen, and in particular plastic "cojones" hanging from trailer hitches, but I like people to know where I stand, whether they like it or not.

The product we buy is free advertising enough when it is in the publics view. Unless you are being paid why would you make your-self, vehicle or other a walking/driving/floating etc. billboard?... Regardless if its Hoyt or Pepsi. Never understood it, but the company you are promoting sure does and is laughing all the way to the bank. Now, if you are a shareholder, then by all means tatoo Pepsi across your forehead...

On my old truck I had several, hunting and fishing related, tastefully applied. Brands that I used and really liked. No coyote head with a giant crosshairs or a "ditch the bitch,lets go hunting" surrounded by mossy oak ultra redneck or anything like that.
On my new truck I am going to try and resist the temptation, stay low pro incognito.

I don't mind one or two stickers on my truck, but right now I don't have any. My old truck still has a few DU stickers and a Martin sticker. I haven't owned a Martin in 9 years.
