Just this past elk season, we saw a system that some folks were using. They used the polyester “pull tape” on a plastic water hose reel. It could easily be moved ( not bolted to vehicle) to various trucks or 4-wheelers. The reel merely held the tape. He would spool-off down to the elk, tie-off to the 4-wheeler hitch, and pull. If he ran out of driving room, he would back up to his original start point, while winding-up the tape that he had slack. He would repeat the process, until the elk was retrieved. If, a direction change was neede to make the pull, he would run the tape thru a “snatch-block” to facilitate the change of direction. He had recovered several elk for his group, as well as helped other hunters retrieve!
We will have this system next year! memtb
