Car accessories

Transporting a shot animal without the right equipment ends with blood and bristles ground into your boot carpet, and the smell stays in the cabin for weeks. This category holds car accessories built for the hunter: game transport trays and bags, boot liners, gun cases, storage boxes, a loading ramp and seat covers. Every product here solves the same task: getting your game, rifle, wet gear and dog home cleanly and safely.

Who these hunting car accessories are for

These accessories are for hunters who drive to their grounds and return in the same vehicle with a carcass, muddy boots and a soaked dog. A tray or bag separates the game from the cabin, a liner protects the boot, and cases and boxes keep the rifle and ammunition in order on the road. On a driven hunt, when you move between several stands in one day with gear and game sharing the boot, that order saves time and tempers. For high seat hunting the priorities shift: the rifle travels to the forest and back in a case, and an ammunition box stops cartridges rattling around the load area.

Product types in this category

The range falls into six practical groups covering the whole trip from your driveway to the hunting ground and back. Each group handles a separate job: moving game, protecting the interior, transporting the rifle, storing small gear, loading heavy animals and keeping the dog safe in transit. Here is what sits on the shelves.

Game transport trays

The Parforce trays (models 2006240 and 2008276) and the large universal tray are rigid, smooth-walled tubs that take the shot animal. Blood and hair stay in the tray instead of on the carpet. After the hunt the smooth plastic rinses clean with a hose. A loaded tray also slides over grass or snow like a sled, so you can drag the animal to the car.

Game transport bags

When boot space is tight or a rigid tray will not fit, carry the game in a bag. The Blaser 60x40x40 cm bag suits a roe deer or a young boar, while the green 250-litre Browning XXL bag takes larger game. Both fold flat, so outside the season they occupy a corner of the boot, and after use they wash out and dry quickly.

Boot liners and seat covers

The boot liner covers the floor and sides, so mud, blood and dog hair never reach the original trim. The Härkilä Hunting Green seat cover (one size) protects the front seat when you climb in soaked after a rainy night on the high seat. Its green shade fits a hunting vehicle and shrugs off dirt.

Gun cases and storage boxes

The fabric Blaser case (80409749) is made for carrying a rifle in the car: it cushions the scope against knocks and keeps the gun out of sight. The olive Parforce storage boxes (sold singly or as a pair) swallow knives, torches and other small gear, and the version with a gun rack also holds your rifle steady in the boot. The MTM Shooting Range Box is built for range days, with room for tools, ammunition and cleaning kit.

Loading ramp and seat belt connectors

The Berger & Schröter 155651 loading ramp lets one person haul a heavy boar into an off-roader without helpers and without a wrecked back. The FRANK 180005 and Blaser 80408365 seat belt connectors are most often used to clip in a hunting dog, so the animal stays put under hard braking.

How to choose the right accessory

Before ordering, weigh up your vehicle, your style of hunting and the game you shoot most often. These five steps keep the choice simple:

1. Measure your boot: a rigid tray must fit between the wheel arches, otherwise pick a folding bag.
2. Match the size to the game: a roe deer fits the Blaser bag, a boar or red deer needs the large tray or the 250 l Browning bag.
3. If you hunt alone, add the loading ramp for heavy animals.
4. Choose a gun case by the length of your rifle with the scope mounted, and plan a storage box so nothing rolls around on rough tracks.
5. If your dog rides along, add a seat belt connector and a seat cover from the start.

Practical advice from the field

The best accessory is the one that lives in your car, not the one waiting in the garage. Keep the tray and liner in the boot all season, because game rarely falls on schedule. Rinse the tray or bag straight after each transport: dried blood is hard to shift, and the smell draws flies on the next trip. In cold weather leave the animal uncovered in the tray so the carcass cools. Load the gun case with the muzzle pointing to the rear, and push storage boxes against the seat backs where they move least. Remember the legal side too: a firearm in a vehicle must be unloaded and covered, so a case is not just a convenience but part of hunting properly.

Brands in this category

Six makers familiar to hunters fill this category. Parforce covers trays and storage boxes at a sensible price, Blaser supplies gun cases, game bags and belt connectors to the standard its rifle owners expect. Browning stands behind the high-capacity bags, Berger & Schröter specialises in loading equipment, MTM builds range boxes, and Härkilä brings Scandinavian-grade seat covers. Every product earned its place by how it performs on real hunts, not on trade show stands.

While planning your next trip, look through the other outdoor living categories: thermal bottles and food jars keep your drink hot on the high seat, repellents guard against mosquitoes and ticks, gear for your hunting dog sits under pet supplies, and more small equipment waits in others.
