That's interesting. It covers some tough situations, bet there would be some serious cussing on the way through the learning curve. For my situations, in the places I'd want one I could either use a 4 wheeler, Or nothing on wheels would be worth much. Only hunt deer here, boning one out and carrying it is by far the easiest way to get it out short of a 4-wheeler. Black Bears get uncommonly big here, I've often wondered how in the heck you get 400#+ of bear out of the rocky, laurel ridges whole, without ruining the hide?

I guess there is a cart somewhere under that buck. Roundoak, you are killing us with the pics that you post. Lots of us need extra magnification to sort the bucks out from the does.
My other auto is a .45

So how’d y’all get the forklift back there to load that big SOB on the cart?
🤣
Amazing buck!

Tried different carts in the past, one wheel and two, but the Jet Sled is our go to now. Simple and we lift the whole thing right into the bed of the truck with the deer inside. Helps keep things cleaner. ^^^THIS^^^ I've tried different carts and they're a mofo in the woods and trying to get across creeks. The Jet Sled is the ticket for the places that I hunt. The 25"x 54"x 10" is usually big enough unless you kill something as big as that monster. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=shapell+...g=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_19dsrmdgnh_e

Bought a cheapy for 50 bucks from Cabelas. Looked like it would be OK was till I used it. The sides were the same length ,you had to bend over to push or pull it causing you to lose leverage. Hauled it over to a buddies place who has a nicely equipped shop, cut the handle off one end and lengthened it by a foot with some tubing extensions and welded back up. Works well and is easily pushed or pulled now. It has hauled many antelope and deer out..mb

The problem with sleds or carts is that they need to be take in with you and if you move around, what then? I made a slide from a piece of the heavy blue plastic tarps. I cut it to size and added gromets along each side every foot or so. To use, lay it on the ground, roll the deer onto it, and then use paracord to wrap it around the deer. Attach rope to the head and drag it out. The whole thing rolls up and fits in a coat packet

The little woman and I used a roll-up toboggan to haul in a ladder stand and gear ro install it yesterday. Total weight was probably more than the average dressed doe or small buck, 70 lbs or a bit more. Pretty steep for the first quarter mile or so, about 100 ft rise. Pretty easy actually, even when I took it all myself. Left the sled rolled up behind the stand.
Still hoping anything I shoot runs the right way, downhill towards the car instead of downhill away from it.
What fresh Hell is this?

I use a cart from Rogers Sporting Goods. It has metal spokes and has served me well. I helped a guy from South Carolina haul a deer out of a state forest and his plastic spoked wheel broke in the first 100 feet. My cart sure beats the wheelbarrow that I once tried.

I’ve used a Hawk Crawler for a couple of 100lb bucks. I like the way it folds and fits in the car. It’s sturdy and well built and made these little bucks much easier to deal with than dragging. One was on a very steep hillside - that was very hard as when you have to go straight up (narrow path) it wants to go straight back down. A 200lb deer would have been impossible on that hillside. I may have to get a hoist and go from tree to tree
