Never done anything bigger than a deer. But all my life my technique was to get on the back of the truck with my drag rope and stick, and roll the rope as far as I can and then just pull it up with brute force.

Now, I'm getting too damn old for that schit, especially with big deer. A few years ago I bought this doo-hickey. In the time that it takes to set it up, I could just drag the MoFo up by hand. But I'm worried I might F up my back or something and it just ain't worth it. Last year, I bet I killed 4 or 5 deer that were possibly over 150 lbs. (field dressed). This damned thing came in pretty handy. I also used it one time to lift my Honda Generator into the truck to take it to the shop to get it worked on.
