Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Loading big game into a pickup truck?

I have looked for a capstan pulley that mounts in the gooseneck ball but have not found one.
I have loaded using the gooseneck ball in the bed of the truck which works well for the first elk.
Just anchor one end to tree wrap rope around ball and tie to elk, then drive forward.
The halter on elk head might work better than a knot around neck.
Even if I have to pound in a deadman to anchor to, it is faster than quartering.

Not everyone is physically able to do that my friend.

I would think a lot of people would learn the gutless method of quartering an elk out of necessity...I've only killed one elk in a spot I could drive right too and load whole once in my life and that was on my friends ranch in Colorado. Every one I have killed on public land had to come out to the truck the hard way packing them out piece by piece...

That’s the way to fly, big green can handle it.
