The worst part about those big rascals is loading the darn things when you are by yourself. We get a 250-275lber on the hoof(prerut) once in a while over in the MS Delta. If I'm by myself, I just drag em back to the truck with an atv and right up on the trailer. A 200lber is about all I care to fool with when it comes to loading one on the rack of an atv.
