I've used them and they are fine for flat ground (Eastern hunts) or prairies, but for elk habitat, they suck. They are more work than they are worth. I pulled a quartered up moose out in trip, 3.5 miles back in. I was able to follow a cow trail most of the way. I should have just deboned it and been done. It would have been easier.
Trying to get a loaded cart over rocks, logs, mud, brush etc., is a LOT Of work and really beats you up. I have never been more tired than when I got that moose out. It took 4 of us all day long with that cart. It was a good sized one with a motorcycle tire. Keeping 600+ lbs. balanced on one wheel in crappy terrain with the feeble strength of a man's arms is a workout. Flinch
