Neighbor is from Oregon. He kept a spare rim with no tire and a hole cut in it he could put a line through and tie a bolt or something on to keep it from pulling out. Then he’d jack up the rear of his 1975 Scout and bolt that puppy on and have a gas powered winch. I never saw it work in person but he had an old VHS home video that made it look pretty skookum.
We usually measure the distance to the road in miles from our elk kills but I got lucky this year. Walked 12 miles hunting from daylight to nearly dark and I get 200yds from my wheeler and a bull runs across the trail in front of me. I rolled him up as he ran through an opening in the oakbrush and he fell about 250 yards from the trail. Of course since CO changed the rules a few years ago I still had to quarter him and pack it all to the wheeler but it was flat and easy going.
