Amazed: The photographer who saw the vehicle said she had never seen anything like this vehicle could not stop staring

Interested: The photographer said most people were fascinated by the vehicle

'I had never seen anything like this vehicle and I could not stop staring.



'I had to get pictures because I didn't think anyone would believe me if I just told them about this machine.'

While the identity of the driver and his reasons for covering his pickup in dead animals remain a mystery, Diane explained that he could he a local trapper, hunter or taxidermy enthusiast taking the local hunting-culture to the limit.

The photographer said the driver looked like a rugged- Southern huntsman

She described how surprised on-lookers reacted to being confronted with such a grimly decorated vehicle while they were out doing their grocery shopping.

'Most people are fascinated,' she said.

'Some people are freaked out I guess but no-one could stop staring in disbelief.

'The driver was a rugged typical Southern huntsman, truck-driving kind of guy.

'Hunting is a huge past-time in the USA, especially in the Southern areas like Georgia.

'It is a very popular sport from deer to birds to alligators.

'Many people around Georgia would say that the Pelt-mobile is the Deep South at its finest.

"Maybe the truck is his form of expression - a kind of modern Southern art.

'I wish I could find the driver and do a proper interview and photo shoot - I think it would be very interesting.'
