Hunting truck battery issue

I have a hunting truck that was running great a few weeks ago. I went to start it yesterday and it was dead. No big deal as it has done this before and I assume I left something on. So I charge battery, says it is charged and then go to start it nothing. No lights not even a door beep but charger says battery is fully charged. Change charger and do again and same thing. Bad battery or something else?

Try to jump start it. It it starts it's most likely the battery.

I agree you likely have corrosion on one or both battery cables. It can be inside the wire where its not easily seen as well.
Check the voltage after charging, see if the battery is actually taking a charge or if you have dead cells. Is it a sealed battery or is it servicable? check acid levels if you can and add some distilled water if they are low.
If battery checks out, and it still wont crank its likely the cables. Once its running, check your alternator voltage as well to make sure its working properly.

The obvious answer is to buy a new truck and you now have all the reasons you need and your wife can't get too mad. 
Yeah I was thinking the cables maybe a problem probably the battery cable at the starter.

Check the connection of the battery cable at the starter

Check to see if your terminals are corroded
