So my hunting partner picked up a game cart and left it in camp this year. I used it to haul my cow elk part way out this year. Like the earlier post noted, the handles were too short. I used it on an old fire road, mostly downhill. Every rut, limb or rock sent it askew and the uphills, though slight in grade and distance were not fun. I have packed elk out of a canyon, backpacked extensively, including into and out of the Grand Canyon in the summer. Also di a few backcountry trips in northern Ontario packing camp and conoes. One trip had a 5 mile portage, we tried using real nice carts designed for canoes on the old logging road, same issues and we'd wished we had left them behind. Next go around, I will leave the cart home and haul my elk out on my back. When I get old (58 now) I may have to resort to owning a horse or two. Your mileage may vary.
